How many 15 FOOT screens have you seen? How many > sets do you know of with a dot pitch of less than 0.7 mm? 1920 pixels at 0.7 mm dot pitch is 134.4 cm. 168 cm diagonally for 4:3 or 154.2 cm diagonally for 16:9. The 19" Samsung Dynaflat 957DF (4:3) (http://www.i-tech.com.au/products/item399.asp) does 1920x1440 pixels.
