yes I have always wondered that myself. . .having 720p on a 19" and a 42" doesnt really make sense. . . IMO they should sell TV's advertising their DPI instead of their overall resolution. . . that would make more sense IMO (regardless of HD signal comming at 1080)

DPI has no effected on a tv you are not watching the tv from 6" away you are watching it from 6+ feet back. your standard 40" tv has a dpi of like 46 or something as tv sizes grow the dpi goes down. that huge jumbo tron 1080p tv at dallas stadium has like 0.8 dpi. tv's run on a fixed size in pixels hence dpi does not matter or in tv world i think they refer to it as ppi.

yeah that. . .what i meant is that. . .its not like they require HUGE technology to make the same PPI on a 19" than on a 40". . .why not keep the same PPI and just have it have a higher resolution . . .instead of lowering the PPI as the TV size increases. . .IMO thats not cool

Well, it wouldn't be a huge technological leap forward to keep PPI while increasing size, but a) bigger screens are meant for being further away from, so the pixels would be wasted and b) video source would have to keep up, and then there would be a lot of different resolutions that would have to be scaled up/down depending on what you were watching on.

eeeh at the end of the day its all on the 4:6 or 16:9 ratio. . .
ANYWAYS. . .apple tends to come up with this little things that add up and make them apple. . .although I seriously cant imagine anything "new" for the TV industry
prolly if they add SiRi to their televisions or something. . .
metro.:
Fuck I'd be depressed if they did that.
