They do, there is an  IBM / Samsung 24" which is 3840x2400, and also a 30"
Dell which is 2560x1600. All of them must be driven using 2 cards in dual
head config. The IBM can also be driven as a 4 head (each 1920x1200).

Currently none can be driven by the Iyonix with Gemini due to the half
horizontal resolution not being an whole number of pages, although Castle
have a fix for this. Maybe JWB can comment on whether this will be in the new
video firmware upgrade.
