New 36-inch Monitor From EIZO Packs 4096 x 2160 Pixels Resolution
With the current consumer PC display standard positively, definitely stagnated at 1920x1080 TV resolution, primed for Blu-ray movies and Xbox games modified for PC, the launch of every new PC monitor that crosses the 1080p mark is met with some celebrations. Display major EIZO's latest such creation is the 36-inch DuraVision FDH3601. This display sports a native resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels.
The monitor likely uses a Sharp ASV panel with 170° viewing angles. Regardless, it's 10-bit, supporting 1.07 billion colors, is CCFL-illuminated with maximum brightness of 700 cd/m², and has 1000:1 static contrast ratio. The monitor also packs the Digital Uniformity Corrector (DUE), a feature EIZO has been working on for the last few years, that ensures perfect light homogeneity. Slated for a September 7, 2011 release in Japan, the EIZO DuraVision FDH3601 is priced at US $36,000.

But, seriously, it's a good change to the market of displays.
Eizo is a major player in the professional market, in which this display is targeted to.
The obvious path for this is that it will reach consumer market thereafter.
Also, the price isn't that much. Apple charges just about as much. (troll face -> :> )
Standard backlighting keeps consistent color ranges with minimal backlight bleed which comes from LED as well. What im wondering is what technology this Sharp panel conforms to. Similar to VA panels? IPS Panels?
Shit put me down for 6 so I run eyefinity :rockout:
BTW, my 32" Philips was TWO zeros cheaper :)
Or .004 cents per pixel.
VS
1920x1200 =
9015.65 pixels per dollar for a $230 a monitor.
or .000011 cents per pixel.
Let's hope in 2012 we will see smaller 21-27" screens but with same high pixel density. 2560x1600 in 22" would be a sweetspot for me.
