    32 inches?

    That's a bit small by today's standards isn't it?

    Nearly everyone I know has at least a 40" lcd telly these days.

      Re: 32 inches?

      And that relates to an announcement of a 32" HD monitor display how?

    Do we actually have one tiniest scrap of evidence for the "iTV", beyond Jobs' dying words? I reckon he just wanted to hoax the entire industry, personally.

    Why not a 32in iMac

    Why not indeed?

    If they think they can sell one of these as a Thunderbolt model I don't doubt they can afford the tooling-up costs.

    It would work very nicely with a high-res OS X redesign as well.

    More light?

    Why do smaller pixels allow more light through? Surely the more pixels there are the more dead space around each pixel and the less light is transmitted? Someone enlighten me please.

      More light

      Isn't it just like candlepower? A million candles is a million times brighter than one candle. Very useful analogy if you are going to be using your monitor or telly or whatever this thing is to read a book by :)
