LG.Philips plans supersized touch screens

LG.Philips, one of the major worldwide LCD panel suppliers, is planning to debut a series of mammoth touch screens, including two so-called world-first commercial flat panels: a 52-inch multi-touch and a 47-inch triple-view HDTV.

The former has an ultra-high 1,920x1,080 resolution and the ability to recognize two touch points, as well as gestures. Its high responsiveness is also capable of picking up more exacting writing instruments, thereby improving interactivity.

The HDTV, meanwhile, can display three images to viewers standing at various angles simultaneously. It's intended for such uses as in-store directories and shopping mall advertising.

not too bad, but could be better

pretty interesting!!!
But I thought they already have bigger touch screen monitors?? It looks ok, but not that too great. Ah well, lets see what samsung and sony comes with after this.

*Off topic: their model looks better than the TV though* haha

I estimate steel for the building industry. For many years I have had a dream of a flat panel interactive screen that would be a desk top and appear as if it were a set of drawings on a table. i could have a control panel that would allow me to flip thru pages, split the screen into two or more pages, highlight the drawings as I did my take off and then print from my desk top the highlighted drawings. Do you have a screen that will do this. If not get one!!!! My savings in just printing costs would be $1500 to $4000 per month. Add in lost time etc. and the savings would be $5000 plus per month. the screen would have to show the drawings in a pdf or tiff fromat and it must be pretty much scratch proof because I would need to use a scale to measuere on the drawings or a device like a two point pen to measure distances. The screen may have to be 30x40 if the drawings were full size but a smaller screen would work if it could be scaled.
I have no idea what the cost would be but I would be willing to pay $15000 to $25000 for such a device and the rest of the construction industryu most certainly could use it.

Thank you very much.
