Samsung introduces 23-inch 2342BWX LCD with QWXGA resolution

by Darren Murph posted Nov 6th 2008 at 10:36AM

Are you one of those freaks of nature who prefer your fonts as tiny as possible in order to best take advantage of every last square millimeter of screen real estate? If so, point your retinas to Samsung's latest marvel, the 23-inch 2342BWX. The LCD monitor boasts a thin black bezel, 5-millisecond response time and a memorizing QWXGA (2,048 x 1,152) resolution. Just to put things in perspective, that's enough pixels to view two A4-sized sheets side by side with room to spare for Vista's sidebar. Sammy's expected to loose this in South Korea soon for ?399,000 ($315), but trust us, the challenge won't be procuring one, it'll be making sure your GPU can handle it.

Surely you mean "mesmerizing" not "memorizing." Spell check only gets you so far.

It's nice to see more panels coming to the market with higher native resolutions. 1080p res on 22" panels should've been here a long time ago.

This monitor looks interesting..and quite affordable. =]

No, it won't. The height of an A4-sheet is 11.69 inch and this screen has a height of about 11.28 (according to my math). Including some (task)bars, you'll need a 26" or 27" screen to fit two A4's on it at 100% of the original size.

who doesn't have a video card that can support this resolution? my girlfriends 4 year old laptop can output this resolution to a second display, i can't imagine that many people (especially of the ilk that browse tech themed websites) have computers old enough that this is problematic.
