Who is going to buy a little 32″ display for $3500…
Doubt it will sell enough to recover the tooling cost. Seems manufacturers are getting really desperate in a market where everybody already has a display that’s perfectly good enough, and the 3D thing never really cought on.
With business forever being “growth oriented” in our capitalist setup of guaranteed eventual fail, as growth cannot continue forever on a finite planet, they think the way out of the dead-end street is cranking up resolution…
A fine idea, but I think they’d have to do it at maybe 30-50% price increase, rather than a 1000% price increase…
