Well as its designed for movie viewing, I imagine they'll stick in a nice PVA or MVA panel for wide viewing angles, and at the moment they seem to average somewhere around 5ms. Should also hopefully get some good contrast ratios, 3000:1 at least I would be expecting
I couldn't imagine the response time being any different than what we are staring at today.
However, I think this is a stupid idea! The whole point of 16:10 is for the video playback controls at the bottom (or top) of the screen. If you are sitting back far enough to use the remote control with your computer than why don't you just watch the movie on a bigger TV screen?
Personally, I don't care at all about a black bar or two. This would mean you could ONLY watch the movie fullscreen, with no instant messenger, taskbar, or any other apps (like your company's homebrewed database software in case you need to alt+tab quickly back to that).
Then what happens if you're watching a 4:3 standard of a TV show?
