From the article: 10.1-inch Super AMOLED display 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution

Why can we have a 10" display w/ 1600p at a very reasonable price but I can't a get a 22" + monitor at the same resolution without shelling out over $1000 :C

I'm writing this to you on one right now. I got the slightly more expensive version that swivels. 27" for $363 shipped. LG LCD panel (I opened it and confirmed). A number of dead pixels, but none in the center and they are only visible if you're 2" from the screen. At any reasonable distance, I can't make them out.

If you want an immaculate, brand name, warrantied monitor ... yeah, it's 1K. If you're willing to compromise on a few things, there are other options.

I imagine the disparity in availability has to do with the manufacturing technology. It's probably very difficult to make a zero-dead-pixel screen that is high resolution and very large.

Dell's Ultrasharp monitors go on sale quite often. Here in Canada they have their top-of-the-line 27" monitor on sale for $899... and actually it was $750 a couple of days ago.

I unboxed that about 10 minutes ago. :) Now I have to race to Best Buy to grab a dual-link adapter.

Because you can make more money selling four+ tablets than one desktop monitor at sizes/resolutions that continue to have very low total sales?

Hopefully these high resolution tablets and phones will lower the prices of these panels and will create this trend in laptops, too.

For one, the nexus is pentile, so the actual vertical resolution is only 2/3 that, and upsampled.

At the same resolution, bigger pixels are still harder to manufacture correctly than smaller pixels.

Androd devices are subsidized.

Go on ebay and search for 2560x1440 monitor. There are tons of IPS displays under $300 of various brands - ACHIEVA Shimian, Matrix, Catleap, LG.
