Epson stirs pot, conjures up 4-inch high-res LTPS LCD
It's one thing to take good pictures. It's another to show 'em off on a good display. Epson Imaging Devices has just made official its new 4-inch high-resolution LTPS LCD, which is featured in the forthcoming P-6000 / P-7000 photo viewers. The diminutive display has an 80-degree viewing angle (from all sides) and covers 94% of the Adobe RGB color gamut. Built upon the Photo Fine Premia technology, Epson is hoping that this newfangled screen will find its way into digital cameras and PMPs so owners can be proud of playing back photo slideshows on the go. Funny thing though -- we're never told just how "high" high-resolution really is. Is the sky the limit, or what?[Via Physorg]

A device for only photo viewing? What a waste!

The old versions played all kinds of video formats if you needed to, so I'm assuming these new versions still hold true to that, if not add more functionality.
But the reason these devices exist is for backing up photos. They have a couple of ports for memory cards and you can view them on the screen to verify that they've been copied properly. Video is just an after thought, but a nice one for others who plop down the money for an expensive play toy.

It's for Professional Photographers to store their images on.

Yep, they are for photo backup while in the field. Even more impressive is the USB-out port on it that lets you hook up external hard drives for duplication or larger backup possibilities. No need to pack a laptop if you are already tight on space in your gear bag.
And they run on Linux.

These devices are for professional photographers to offload their images and view them with reliable color accuracy --- not for greasy, adolescent nerds.

Sounds impressive, lets get some more stats to confirm. Anyone have any more details on it out there? Any other devices it's coming out on?
Thanks,
Scott

Probably like 200 dpi.
