According to my calcs thats 44% more monitor. Who's going to buy a graphics card powerful enough to actually drive it? The graphics card you got now giving 60+ fps on 1920x1080 isn't going to have nearly the same performance on a super high rez monitor like that. Graphics cards are going to have to catch up.
Also, games aren't going to be [I]that[/I] much better that this higher rez, since our eye can't see the difference. This will make a difference with bigger monitors though. I cannot see the pixels on my 22" 1920x1080 monitor. Seems a point of diminishing returns with average monitors.
Your eyes might not be able to see the difference, but I can quite clearly see the pixels on my 22" 1920x1080 monitor.
PC monitors are hovering around 100ppi, cell phones are 300ppi+ and printers are doing 600dpi+

You must see better than I. If I look real close I can see them, but at my viewing distance they cease to be pixels and become part of the image. This new higher res will help those mainly with large monitors I think.

Pixels become more visible in certain context, such as jagged edges on a polygon in a game (even at 1920x1080). The thing is however that it will probably be less performance-intensive to just apply rigorous amounts of anti-aliasing than make screens with such a resolution and pixel density that the individual pixels become invisible.
Are there any good IPS's out there for about 150 euros for gaming? (195 US dolla)
I feel so bad using a 1280x1024 monitor nowadays with phones having almost the same resolution :(
I remember when the 1600SW was hands down the best LCD panel on the market. I can't believe that was over 10 years ago.
I'm incredibly excited for this. I'd sell both of my monitors for just one of these.

1600x1024? What an interesting resolution.
Anyways, I can't wait for further news from Monoprice. This is going to be awesome.
Shit, just bought a 24" 1200p Dell 2412. All 27" here cost a fortune and this was the only IPS monitor at 1200p over 24" for a decent price (360$/270Euro)
Maybe in 2 years Ill buy a single 27" display.

1366x768 here, which is pretty close to a phone resolution. Would like a 1080p screen but my graphics card probably couldn't do it. (GTS 450) Besides I think I wouldn't go any higher than 1080p after I reach it because I like to be able to watch stuff in decent quality.

Fairly sure he is talking about game performance.
I could in theory display on 3 monitors at 2560x1600. That doesn't mean I could expect anything close to reasonable performance with my current equipment.
