| Air traffic control screens. |

So the other day I saw a news segment about air traffic control centers and noticed some interesting displays and thought I must remember to google those. Anyway days later the grey matter kicked in and it seems some high res square displays are available - but as is often the case with stuff you want no price is given - so pricey then. As an example I found This 28" 2048 x 2048 one. I know a square ratio is not ideal and I also know I can not afford one, but do any of you know anything about this type of display or have you used them?. |

They're usually quite nice, though it varies quite a bit. Government contracts typically have very long equipment lifecycles, so some models you find may actually be using quite old LCD technologies with corresponding contrast, brightness, etc. limitations. The last time I looked into these, they tended to start at around $3-5,000 per unit and went upwards of $15,000 in some cases. Probably outside most peoples' budget. Pocket change to Uncle Sam, of course. |
