[QUOTE="NLS, post: 61121, member: 20102"] Sure, let me tell you where I get this idea. - Fact 1. Real HD is 1920x1080. - Fact 2. Having the real top HD resolution and (smart) upscaling is better than downscaling losing detail. - Fact 3. There are already computer monitors (not ultra expensive) with enough DPI to support such resolutions. This means the panels are out there and prices are droping. - Fact 4. (related to 3) It makes much more sense to have one production line where you would have two. - Fact 5. There is a general tendency for displays where the "small" size is much larger than what was small 10 years ago. A "small kitchen" TV is easily a 21" panel when it was 14" CRT (or nothing), while the old "quite enough" for the living room, 29" WEGA is now becoming a 37" or a 42" panel (or more). - Fact 6. Bandwidth (all kinds of bandwidth, be it Network, sat waves, computer speed etc.) is quickly becoming enough to support 1080. ...of course all these don't mean that we won't have CRT for quite a few more years, nor that we won't have non-1080 panels - but that would be for special market needs or special markets (poorer countries etc.) and of course at stupidly low price ranges. Now if you don't want to see this, no problem by me. [/QUOTE]
