If you compare a printed photo to a HDTV the printed photo is simply much sharper and better looking with much more detail.

Your average printed photo comes in at around 300 DPI(dots per inch). Now lets get your 50 inch 1080p TV and your talking about less than 45 PPI(pixels per inch).

WYSIWYG(an acronym for What You See Is What You Get) is more relevant to PC monitors than TV's but the fact of the matter is that pin drop sharpness we get in pictures won't be replicated on TV sets until we do reach a much higher PPI than we traditionally have on larger screens.

We are a country mile away form this goal because even those next generation 4K 56 inch sets have a PPI of only around 80 and the 150 inch TV wall with that resolution has only 30PPI.

You can argue the benefits of higher PPI in TV application versus bigger screen sizes but basically the holy nirvana would be extremely high PPI with a big screen.

We are a long way off from WYSIWYG though.]]>Jun 12th 2009 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kopin-crafts-worlds-smallest-vga-microdisplay-2k-x-2k-postage/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kopin-crafts-worlds-smallest-vga-microdisplay-2k-x-2k-postage/http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/gforce/

True and yet in your explanation of 300dpi vs 45ppi, is missing the relative viewing distance. The same photo can be just as sharp on two different displays - one to be viewed at from 6inches away and another to be viewed at 6ft away.

That said. I would gladly welcome double the res on my 24" Dell monitor. If only Windows + my video card new how to handle it properly.]]>Jun 12th 2009 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kopin-crafts-worlds-smallest-vga-microdisplay-2k-x-2k-postage/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kopin-crafts-worlds-smallest-vga-microdisplay-2k-x-2k-postage/1.
