Weeks after splurging on a 24-inch monitor, I noticed that Gateway just released a 30-inch version, the Gateway XHD3000 30-inch Extreme HD Display.
Playing off the latest computer chip trend of quad-core computing, Gateway’s touting this one as “the world’s first ‘Quad-HD’ display” because it has four-times the resolution of a standard HD display of 720p.
The “ultra-high” resolution is 2560 by 1600, thanks to the Silicon Optix Realta HQV video processor. It also has an upscale feature so standard-definition video will appear clearer and sharper than it actually is. In fact, this upscaling feature takes 1080p resolution and makes it look like it’s 1600p. By comparison, DVD quality is 480p. Standard TV is, ugh, even worse.
I’d really like to see how much sharper 1600p is compared to 1080p. As some of you know, 1080p is better than any high-defintion video broadcast today on TV (those resolutions are 720p and 1080i). And the HDTV channels I watch are so crisp and clear, I’m watching more TV then ever before. Can it really look better?
Other features of the XHD3000: Six video inputs (HDMI, single and dual DVI, component, S-Video, composite and VGA), includes a remote control, picture-in-picture functions, six USB ports, and a hefty price tag of $1,700.
