    Sweet!

    Though I wonder how well these panels will work with Windows 7...

    Why shouldn`t they?

    I would love a IPS panel with high resolution along with my upcoming GTX 780M and Haswell. Should be plenty of juice to play most games on that resolution :)

    I think Kuroi means how they will handle scaling, not whether they will display something or not. I'm surprised Acer are the ones announcing it first, but I don't mind, at least it will push other manufacturers to offer them as well.

    tijo, yeah - that's how I would take that too (proper scaling...).

    I too am surprised how Acer is the first to announce this - and I just hope that the implementation is better than Apple's.

    What implementation am I hoping for?

    I want the O/S to give us the ability to display (precisely) a 12 point font at 12 points size - taking into consideration the physical screen it is outputting to and the resolution of that screen. And - being able to display images at a 1:1 ratio to the actual resolution so that no artifacts are displayed/shown for images.


    2013 is getting real interesting...

    Yeah, I probably should have mentioned the scaling in 7 for these resolutions. I wrongly assumed that it was common knowledge after people tried 7 on the rMBP...

    I thought it was common knowledge that DPI scaling in 7 wasn't very good regardless of the actual display size. :p

    @Tiller, i sure do hope for that kind of scaling, but proper UI scaling regardless of the program would be already be a good start.

    tijo - if we don't shoot for the stars - we just end up shooting our foot. ;)

    Or to put it another way - don't confuse manufacturers with more than one possibility: ask and ye shall receive.

    I was seeing it in more as shoot for the stars, but be happy to reach the sky, then shoot for the stars again.

    I'd rather have a high resolution 16:9 panel than a low resolution 16:10 panel. I'd take a 15.6" 1920x1080p laptop vs 15.4" 1440x900.

    It's up to you, but with the current state of scalability, and my eyesight, I would much rather have 15.4" 1440x900, and I do have it actually.
