WQUXGA_resolution_demo.jpgCan you say WQUXGA? Toshiba can. According to a translated promo page, it built the 22″ “super Kousei small LCD monitor” with a resolution of 3840×2400. That’s 200 dots per inch! Toshiba admits, though, that the contrast ratio is 300:1, pretty bad even if you don’t believe in contrast-ratio reporting. In Japan, MSRP for this sucker is 2,079,000 Yen (about $18,000). The XP-compatible PCI card required to run it will set you back another 312,900 Yen ($2,700). Oddly enough, in our search for an image, we found this reportedly WQUXGA monitor by ADTX, selling for the mysteriously low price of 198,000 Yen ($1,700)—wonder what the contrast ratio is on that.
