You can buy 4096x2560 monitors. Only grayscale but the image is awsome. For color you need to go down 6MP aka 3280x2048 30" screens. Or there are the 2048x2048 monitors for air traffic management. Unsure if those displays will work with OpenBSD but if someone gets me on I will test it :) -- :wq Claudio
