- >>>Can't be so. Mitsubishi makes a 35" monitor.
-
- I believe the unit you speak of is FOUR TIMES SMALLER THAN MINE!!
- Explanation: when it was first announced (The Mitsubishi) I was willing to
- spend the 4,000 dollars for it (REALLY) but was told it ONLY DISPLAYED
- 640*480 pixels!!!! My monitor is 1280*960 (my 24 inch Moniterm) and thus
- has FOUR TIMES AS MUCH SCREEN AREA than the "older" 35 inch tube you claim
- is bigger than mine (four times as less pixels)
-
- regarding "Sony makes a 28" monitor (20" on a side) that displays
- 2048x2048" from the previous post... I have spent no less than 7 hours
- straight on the phone once trying to contact Sony about their high end
- monitors (I had a very simple request.... Whats your best)
-
- I was told to call CPD (Consumer Products Division) They said I had to call
- the professional broadcasting division. That department said I had to call
- the specialties group, and then I was sent back to consumer electronics. I
- never ever ever learned what Sony's largest MULTISYNCING monitor was.
-
- This 2048 by 2048 makes me disbelieve you if the current smalles trinitron
- pel element for a tri-phoshor group is 0.25 millimeters horizontally and
- (guessing) 0.4 millimeters vertically then for a vertical resolution of
- your claimed 2048 pel elements would measure (2048*0.4 mm = > 32 inches!!!!)
- Therefore either it is not a BRIGHT monitor using trinitron shadowmask,
- else it is A MARKETING LIE AND A TOTAL MYTH.
-
- I rest my case. Until I see otherwise, I still believe that I have the
- worlds largest computer monitor.
