Today I bought a new 24" LCD monitor, the Samsung SyncMaster 240T, which has a native resolution of 1920x1200, equivalent to about 2.3 megapixels "on-screen". See samsungmonitor.com Full resolution pictures taken on my Nikon 880 expand to cover the entire screen, and more. It's like being able to shoot a near-poster-sized image every time I press the shutter button. The data is stored, of course, on a Sandisk 128MB CF card. IMO, this is the only way to truly appreciate high resolution photographs shot with today's multi-megapixel digital cameras. Also, the productivity boost from being able to simultaneously open so many application windows on the desktop is unbelievable - a 24" screen is equivalent to having three SVGA (1024x768) screens worth of pixels. When HDTV signals are available in the near future, this monitor will enable me to view the full resolution of the format - something CRT screens today are still unable to do, because manufacturing the huge chunk of glass larger than 45" (necessary to fit all of the CRT pixels) is practically impossible.
