Samsung Launches the 23-inch 2342BWX Office LCD with 2048x1152 Resolution
Samsung is today adding a new 23-inch 2342BWX widescreen LCD display, that boasts an ultra thin black bezel and a 2048x1152 QWXGA resolution. That's in fact the world's first 23-inch display with such unusual resolution. The 16:9 screen is dedicated for office work and is large enough to fit two A4 pages side by side as well as the vertical Vista Sidebar. Samsung claims that the 2342BWX eliminates the need of a second display in the office, with such a wide resolution it can fit almost everything. Other specs that enrich the monitor even more, include a 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a 5ms gray-to-gray pixel response time and a very small pixel size (0.249mm). Samsung will launch the display first in Korea for the equivalent of $295 (₩399,000), then it will spread the model across the world. I almost forgot, don't count on receiving the display with the girl from the picture. ;)

looks nice though! thats an awesome resolution it can go up to!
i find it hard to fit two open windows side by side even though i have wide screen, so this is a great idea
Really, the "y" needs to be 1600 to be able to read a normal PDF without scrolling. I'm really hoping that 2009 with bring out smaller pixel pitch TFTs so that we can get Cinema 30" screen resolutions into a desk (and neck) friendly 22/23" format.
Give me the girl & nobody will get hurt!!! she can come check out my 22" monitor anytime
Can I have the girl on special offer too? :pimp:
Now this is an insane screen... beyond 1080P ftw!
Some game devs (cough, ubisoft) actually think they way you do, and merely cut the top and bottom off (Vert-), instead of adding extra on the sides (Hor+).
I wouldnt wanna try gaming at that native res.
Personally, I wouldn't mind having a couple of these stacked for my project studio.
Side note, it should scale relatively well, being 16:9. You'd have 1280x720 and 1920x1080, hopefully without distorting too much.
