According to CrunchGear, the 36-inch, LED backlit DuraVision FDH3601 also has a 1000:1 contrast ration and a brightness of 700 nits. Who knows what you’d possibly need/use this for in the present (4K YouTube vids?), but if you happen to have tens of thousands of dollars to casually fling around, you can track one down come September.

Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at 8:10 AMSeems odd that this costs so much money, when the iPhone’s retina screen has a higher PPI and the iPad 3 could have the same sort of retina capablities as well. Can’t work out why it would be more expensive to implement this technology into a stand alone monitor. Looking at my monitor after staring at my iPhone for 30 minutes is like looking at a garbage dump after seeing Heaven. It’s crap.

I know this is the issue with screen size – where it gets seemingly exponentially more difficult to get a whole panel big enough without any problems. perhaps the same is true for number of pixels.
