Intel to Push for Higher Resolution PC Displays, Arrive in 2013

Come 2013, and PC consumers could finally break the shackles of regressive PC resolution "standards" such as 1366x768 and 1920x1080, if Intel has its way. At a presentation at IDF Beijing, Intel expressed its desire to see much higher resolution displays for all computing devices, not just PCs, which could in true terms be "retina-matched" display resolutions. At an optimal (comfortable) viewing distance, the resolution of a computing device's screen should match that of your eyes.

If Intel has its way, a 21" all-in-one desktop PC, and a 15" notebook PC screen will have a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels; a 13" Ultrabook PC could have a resolution of 2800x1800 pixels, a 11" Ultrabook and 10" tablet with 2560x1440, and 5" handheld/smartphone with 1280x800. Compare these to the $500+ 27" 1920x1080 monitors that are still sold in the market! A very bold proposal, but one only a company with the industry prominence of Intel can pull off.

Is it me or is the whole 3D hype dying? I know most folks here consider it to be gimmick blah blah, but I thought that 3D everything was to become standard at some point, no?

Intel pushing HDD to 5mm they are fucking bastards, Intel pushing for higher res they are geniuses. Regardless, all forms of tech advancement (drive to widespread adoption or something else) should be welcomed.

If they can do it without the glasses and economically then I believe it will spread

I don't think it's ever going to be posible without glasses unless you can live with <30º viewing angles.

If angles is the concern, then display should be switched to 2D. But I thought eventually displays with 2D/3D option would become mainstream. Those who not like it can simply keep it off.

btarunrThis opens floodgates of pee on EIZO's $35,000 4K monitor media event at NAB'12. Let's hope by 2013, Intel has an IGP that's capable of smooth 4K (four TMDS links) video playback.
:laugh:

Oh wait! Your serious.................................................................:roll:

baggpipesSo this is awesome... Maybe this will get video card manufacturers to increase the tech without much price increase....
LOL, that's funny.

If ill have a 24" 4800X2700 monitor, I think ill puke rainbows to death...
quite!..
but it will be in 2015 at earliest & of course in the premium segment.. as for me i will be content if good quality 2560x1440 monitors(like this) come down to mainstream prices next year, as my monitor upgrade is loong overdue!... keeping my fingers(or eyes :p ) crossed until then

Ill take more pixel density then just more pixels on a larger screen, i don't think i need anything larger then 26" when i'm only sitting a foot or so away from the screen.

I really wish we had a resident Optometrist so he could explain why this is pointless...

Fuck 4k as the human eye can't distinguish the difference somewhere between 1080p and before 4k..

Give me Holographic displays or fuck off!

Dude, even true 4K (4096x2304) only gives 174 PPI @ 27"

For comparision the 3.2" 320x480 Galaxy Gio is 180 PPI. The Sony X1 has a 3" 800x480 (312 PPI) display. If you can't distinguish between the 2 of those, well, you need glasses man

I wish we had a resident optometrist so he can tell you WTF is wrong with your vision, next you're gonna tell me we can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 FPS.

I hope the market for 7" monitors will get bigger. At least I want monitors of that size running a res equal or bigger than 1280x800.
