Large format displays are primarily designed to be viewed from a greater distance than a typical display. Bearing this in mind you have to realize that an insanely high resolution would result in a very tight image, yet also would result in detail that was functionally useless in practice. Negating the possibly negative effects on the human eye, it simply wouldn't make sense to have a monitor that large with a high resolution; you would now have to move your neck to see other areas of the display. You would also be viewing the display from multiple angles seeing as your head would likely be somewhere near the bottom center of the monitor.
We run our 50" Plasma at a resolution of 1024x768. Yes, it can go higher - but it's not what the device is used for. I'm sitting literally about 10 feet away from the Plasma screen and I can read all the text on it without a problem.

I agree Micah.
The resolution is only there to display more pixels when you require it. My research work is based around displaying as much information as possible on a monitor. Thus requiring as many pixels as possible, no matter how small as long as there's visual distinction.
TVs (non-HDTV) are still at 8x600.

Lower me thinks - considering that DVD is 525 lines of resolution.Murda said:
NTSC standard calls for 480 lines of horizontal resolution @ 29.97 fps
PAL standard calls for 576 lines of horizontal resolution @ 25 fps

Great page if you are interested in this sort of thing. I've had to learn it since I did alot of video encoding for SMR back when I was younger. Now I just tend to use it as residual knowledge when I'm helping friends out with digital video encoding.
oh, and yes most video cards will output a display to the tv-out @ 800x600... however there is a serious amount of dithering going on there. The resolution isn't true, you can verify this by opening a simple word processing document and typing out a few lines at 8pt. sized text. Drag the window slowly up and down and the dot-crawl should be quite apparent. Most video cards will give you the option to increase or decrease "sharpness" to help remedy this. It does help a bit by smoothing the edges, but it can't completely mask it.
lol nice setup man! life size porno now haha jp peace - chrisNice, I like DLP better tho. Plasma burns, we have bunch of JVC's, some Panasonics, etc. One has a big touch screen on it (the map in the background of the war set of FOX News) I still like the panasonic HD 16x9 tube monitor we have the best. The JVC's were 42 and 50 and both had nasty size distortion. Not too impressive for 5K+ each.
