A 39" monitor is too big???

I'm impatiently awaiting the day when the norm is high-DPI monitors that seamlessly extend to take up whole walls.. all my walls, to be precise.

Projectors are nice, but the resolution's not there yet. Not to mention the poor color gamuts, poor dynamic range, and typical lack of 3D.

Basically, I won't be satisfied until I get the holodeck... or a neural jack.

39" monitors. psshhh

"Projectors are nice, but the resolution's not there yet."

You could just use multiple projectors to get higher resolution, but i agree the color and the dynamic range is a problem with projectors.

Yes A 39" monitor is too big for a desktop. If I'm having to move my head all the time while I'm working, that's a no-go for me.
