Samsung unveils new notebook with 3200 x 1800 display

Goodness, is that the actual screen res (3200X1800) or just PPI?

Yes, that's the screen rez, resulting in 276 PPI on the 13.3" display, according to the article anyhow ^^ .

Completely unnecessary. It is more like having bragging rights lol

I suppose if photography was your profession...

Isn't this more resolution than what the human eye can perceive?

I honestly can't see the point of a device like this one. Photographer or not, any user will need to set up ultra-large fonts and the magnifying glass app to be able to work with it at any time. I guess they just ran out of ideas and came up with this nonsense only to get notoriety or something.

all yours for only a million!!!

I want more powerful mobile I7's and 12gb top of the line memory more so than these resolutions.

You'll need 'em at these resolutions.

What I want is this resolution in a 27" Desktop monitor... at a realistic price...

I like to see this resolutions on laptops (any size); then we will be talking.

Totally true!!!!!!

The consumer will never know the difference if they're not informed. Concentrate on maxing out the rez on TVs!

My 13" 1920x1080 (actual res) ASUS Ultrabook has a really crisp screen. It's going to be hard to differentiate resolutions better than that at that size. It's nice but text on icons can be hard to read at a distance as it is so small. It does make graphics and video look good though.

Remember, you can enlarge all displayed text in Windows by a given percentage. You can find it under Start>Control Panel>Display in Win7, and in similar locations in other versions of Windows. Right-click on an empty spot on your desktop and select "Properties..." in XP, as I recall, for the fastest route.

Edit--> I agree with you re: screen sharpness. In fact, I have a Toshiba Qosmio with an 18.4" screen (it's silly ginormous for a laptop - lol) at 1640x985 that I cannot distinguish from 1920x1080 at all. But some folks just want that placebo resolution, ya know? It's good they gave it a lot of graphics muscle; it's gonna damn well need it to drive all that screen real estate.

If you're really keen you can find out what registry entries tweek exact sizes for the elements.

I used to have to do that in XP because of a bug with the large icon sizes in hi-res.
