Veritas et Visus Display Standard February 2009 What’s coming next? While I think that the battle between 16:10 and 16:9 panels is largely a sad case of specsmanship that adds no real value to the market, there are some recent market developments that provide some truly meaningful differentiation. Despite the suggestions that the Golden Ratio might be aesthetically pleasing, the fact is that in both cinema and on the desktop, there is ample evidence that wider, more immersive experiences are desirable. Since so many Hollywood titles are filmed at a 2.35/2.39 aspect ratio, there certainly is a justification for extra-wide panels in the home. With increased interest in multi-panel solutions and an insatiable desire to more information on the desktop, the PC market can certainly justify panels at ultra-wide aspect ratios – enabling multiple windows to be open simultaneously or for viewing of three of four full-page documents simultaneously. I for one would love to have a single monitor on my desktop that enabled me to view 4 or 5 pages of information at once. Philips is developing a new 56-inch, LCD TV that features a 21:9 aspect ratio, (2.33), designed to mimic the cinema experience. According to Philips, the panel will be shipping this spring in Germany, Belgium, the UK and France. Sony introduced the VAIO P Series Lifestyle PC designed to enable full-function web-surfing with an 8.0-inch, ultrawide LED-backlit screen, with a 1600x768 format, (2.08 aspect ratio). Such ultra-wide aspect ratios are intriguing and even predictable – offering truly differentiated viewing experiences that can enhance the visual solution. Perhaps there will be stepping-stone solutions, at least in portable PCs, examples of which have been recently showcased: On the left, is the Prime Gaming Laptop concept, designed by Kyle Cherry, features three collapsible screens that offer a wide viewing panel. When open, it has a 32:10 aspect ratio for better in-game visibility. It closes to the size of a 13-inch notebook and opens to a super wide aspect 26.0-inch notebook. On the right, is the LenovoW700ds which features a primary 17.0-inch panel at 1920x1200 pixels. The secondary screen is 10.6-in. vertical display about the size of a typical netbook display. 12
