It's at the bottom of the article:

I find it interesting that they would shun their highest resolution monitor for one that's slightly lower rez. Hmmm.

although i've never used a monitor that big and high-res, i'd imagine, as cool as it is, that it would be annoying to work with as a main monitor.

No way. Once you get used to the extra real estate there is no going back. It's like saying it would be more annoying to work in a nice big L-shapped office desk compared against a small grade school one-seater desk.

I use 2 30" cinema displays and a 37" LCD screen. I can never go back! Remember that HP makes a 30" that apparently performs pretty well.

LOL @ the little desk. that'd be horrible.

Did anybody buy those things? $1,800 is a lot of money for a computer monitor.

I've had two.

They are great.

I know Dell makes an Ultra Sharp that is pretty good, but which HP?

I got a used one for $1100.00. It is some of the best money I have ever spent. I love it. Streaming full frame HD video is great on it, as is editing in FCS. I use it for my main monitor and have a second 20" monitor which I put the Bin on. When cutting a long form video it is great to have some much screen to have your timeline on. I am sad that they are not going to make them any more. That is a shame.
