Samsung Launches the 23-inch 2342BWX Office LCD with 2048x1152 Resolution
Samsung is today adding a new 23-inch 2342BWX widescreen LCD display, that boasts an ultra thin black bezel and a 2048x1152 QWXGA resolution. That's in fact the world's first 23-inch display with such unusual resolution. The 16:9 screen is dedicated for office work and is large enough to fit two A4 pages side by side as well as the vertical Vista Sidebar. Samsung claims that the 2342BWX eliminates the need of a second display in the office, with such a wide resolution it can fit almost everything. Other specs that enrich the monitor even more, include a 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a 5ms gray-to-gray pixel response time and a very small pixel size (0.249mm). Samsung will launch the display first in Korea for the equivalent of $295 (₩399,000), then it will spread the model across the world. I almost forgot, don't count on receiving the display with the girl from the picture.

So, now you can put two pages side by side. BUT, if it is 11 pt print or smaller it will STILL be very difficult to read.
Really, the "y" needs to be 1600 to be able to read a normal PDF without scrolling. I'm really hoping that 2009 with bring out smaller pixel pitch TFTs so that we can get Cinema 30" screen resolutions into a desk (and neck) friendly 22/23" format. |

I really hate how widescreen resolutions are just standard resolutions with the top and bottom chopped off. My 4:3 monitor does 2048x1536. I'm still waiting for a "widescreen" LCD that can do better at a similar size. They should call current "widescreen" "shortscreen"

Some game devs (cough, ubisoft) actually think they way you do, and merely cut the top and bottom off (Vert-), instead of adding extra on the sides (Hor+).

Yeah, I remember reading a lot of complaints about Bioshock when it came out and how they did that. Widescreen should definitely mean extra on the sides IMO.

I'd be really excited if it was one of the LED ones, but I've seen 20,000:1 contrast ratio on monitors before, so idk. I thought the LED technology could get like 100,000:1

the highest 22" screen i've seen was a 3000:1 and that was a dynamic contrast. You may be thinking of plasma televisions.

Nope, I just looked on newegg and saw ~5 21"+ monitors with 20,000:1. Saw one that was 50,000:1.

Gaming at that res isn't an issue because it's not targeted at gamers. It's for office or workstation use where you would typically benefit from having two monitors. So this is meant to be a better alternative to having two monitors.
Personally, I wouldn't mind having a couple of these stacked for my project studio.
