2560x1600 ?

Id take that


Seriously though I do not think its needed but I would not turn it down. It would be nice if we could get a native res source these high res projectors in stead of having to scale everything up. I hope the quality of up coming 1080 dvd meets our expectations.

I actually think 1080x2560 (native 2.35:1) is more likely, and even then only in high end products. But we shall see. With 1080p rapidly approaching ubiquitous (at least in RPTV and flat panel land) the high end needs something to differentiate itself.


I'll also take one

may we will see by end of next year a 2560x1440 lcos.


it very hard for dlp to go further up after 1920x1080 but for lcos its not.

Business is at XGA now, I don't see why several intermediate resolutions would be skipped over.


I don't even see much impetus to change at all. Very few of the typical conference room situations I've been in have more than a small fraction of the audience closer than 2 screen widths, and XGA is perfectly adequate for Powerpoint etc . presentations.


I'm afraid higher res will remain a specialty item for those few applications needing it.

Photography and CAD will always drive resolutions higher. You can never have enough pixels there.

I doubt you're going to see 2.35:1 native panels. It makes little sense from a manufacturing perspective, where they need high volumes to make the costs reasonable, and there simply isn't going to be much demand for 2.35:1 chips. Plus, a 2.35:1 panel will waste more of the light from the bulb in the process of producing a clean, uniform 2.35:1 illumination.


Note that the Canon super-wide display was two LCOS panels per R/G/B, blended together.

"The Canon SX50 and new Dell SXGA projectors are doing a lot to fix this but you are in general correct. Why the Business world got up to economical XGA and then sat there for 4 years is beyond me."


Like I said, I don't think for most uses there's anything that needs to be fixed. Hell, *I'm* not even clamoring for anything better for meetings.
