SOFTWARE FIRM Microsoft has instructed Sharp to produce an ultra high resolution LCD to be used for the next operating system it will introduce, Longhorn.
According to today's Nihon Keizai Shimbun, the spec called for a screen capable of displaying one billion hues, far beyond the 16.7 million hues LCD screens can currently handle. Designers at Microsoft supplied the spec for engineers at Sharp to implement. The LCD is of such high resolution that it is likely also to be used for medical imaging applications and the like. That res is higher than ordinary televisions so it's expected Sharp will also use the technology in its own range of goggle boxes. While Longhorn doesn't officially debut until 2005, the LCD will be ready next year, just in time for other breakthrough technologies like PCI Express. |

wow how very undescriptive..
what resolution (dpi) will it be operating? if it's still 72dpi, but has more colors, then who cares, no one ever notices any color loss when operating with 16.7 million colors.. |

heh, and require a redesigning of just about every website in the world and application and OS API.. that is, if they raised the rez..
personally i'd like to see 300dpi monitors.. 72dpi is a strain on your eyes.. problem is.. if it's CRT, we'd prolly all die of radiation real fast.. |
