Hi wily; Yeah, really big displays would, without doubt, increase the memory size and bandwidth required for the graphics memory system. No doubt at all. But note "Also, said Haq, Rainbow's 38.6-inch display has SVGA* resolution, and its 1/4-VGA LCD tiles are less expensive to manufacture than the higher-resolution LCDs used in conventional applications.*". So they are talking about 800x600 or 640x480 resolution, not something that is going to break the bandwidth bank. My calculations were for 2000x1500, an image that requires six times as much bandwidth as the displays that they are talking about. They are cutting edge on size, particularly at that price, I suppose, but not resolution. In other words, the display scaling rules are still true. But it is possible that some display will show up that provides 6000x5000 pixels. I want one. (At the right price.) -- Carl
