> P.S. Yes, I know I don't really need that much resolution, but still.

I call bullshit ;-) as at 15" retina is 4Mpix. In a short time span we'll have 20~30" retina)class at that size and they could very well be 9~15Mpix. Of course billion pixels is way too much, but it means that it will scale to the future (I'd love to have a wall-screen with this)

Anyway, multiple links are on the lower part of the rightmost column, available from 1024x768 to full res in a variety of formats.



How does ~275Gpix sound? [0][1]. I did a stint at UCSD for two months as an undergrad, and sat next to this monster while they were playing with it.

It might sound stupid having that much resolution, but it really is cool to be able to see that much information in front of you. It's especially good if you have a number of people standing around who are interacting with various data sets.

And if you want one yourself, it is all COTS hardware, and you can start with just a few screens then add later [2].
