    I guess you've never heard of artificial harmonics, which can get higher than a typical human can hear from an instrument or electronic device.

    Go back to school and take a music class. Learn something, for once, instead of being a coward and talking shit without a name behind your comment.

    Learn about NDAs sometime. Then maybe you'll understand why I can't say anything, at least for two more years.

    Why, yes. Learn about our technology sometime, and quit focusing upon regular computer stuff. We're using QD phosphors on our screens. Yay 90+% gamut.

    Your t21 22-inch monitors can't even handle 80Hz at the highest resolution. Don't give me that bullshit. If they cant handle more than 60Hz how the fuck do you expect an accurate color reproduction?

    "No one hears frequencies that high. People that claim to do so are generally hearing much lower frequency harmonics of the sound that they claim to hear."

    Except you forget tat the harmonics *CAN* be picked up by the human ear. Harmonics are just like any other sound, a vibration. The eardrum can pick up that vibration, whether or not your limited brain can interpret it is a diferent story.

    Try again when you've been though all the relevant tests, yea?

    You fail, sorry.

    For one, I value my medical privacy, so asides from what I say (which if you've got half a brain, my name is publicly listed so you can check,) you won't get my medical records. I'm not going to post them either, because you will know where I get hurt the most in the sonic ranges.

    Link to my bio is in my sig, browse my whole site - just bear in mind my page only has maybe 8 ACID flaws so don't hold that against me when Slashdot has far more than that.

    "I see no "proof", just bare assertions."

    When you have legal authority to usurp my medical privacy, then I'll welcome you to expose me for a liar, if you can.

    But those not aware of my litigious record would not know about me, so I can't blame you for knowing nothing at all, like the typical American.

    What you refer to, you have no absolute idea of what you are talking about. We're talking THOUSANDS of pictures of a potential crop. For one, the iPhone or iPad camera isn't going to be worth a FUCKING THING with the limited resolution it has. With such limited resolution, ZOOM DOES JACK SHIT in a field where you need near-cell level photography.

    Or did you forget the basics of interpolating an image to fit on a screen larger than the native resolution when you use zoom features? Bear in mind most camera capture in JPEG and not RAW.

    Try again when you're more familiar with the actual problems of such technology and the bullshit marketing behind it.

    How is this even possible if every human retina is different? There's no strict definition of human eye resolution if every human is different.

    Too bad you're totally ignorant of the requirements of the horticultural industry - far more stringent than your typical computer industry stuff.

    Zooming in isn't going to do shit on a tiny pad when you need a large screen displaying near-SEM resolutions to diagnose a plant issue.

    "but that doesn't mean you have to see it as a 1:1 reproduction."

    This is not true when you're dealing with cellular-level issues. You need high resolution, and high-quality optics to capture that issue, then you need an equally high-res display. Otherwise you will misdiagnose a Nitrogen issue as a pH or magnesium issue and you just screwed your whole crop.

    Just because *YOU* don't need it doesn't mean we don't need it in another profession.

    Retinal display is not meaningless. Especially for those of us that require ABSOLUTE DETAIL to diagnose a problem (very common in the horticultural industry where one symptom can be any number of problems, so a picture is needed to see what is up,) a very high-detail display is required.

    Now, I don't know if this is just me, but I can still pick up sound higher than 32KHz and even using a 32" 1080p LCD (with a native resolution 3x that) and sitting more than 6 feet away, I can still see the pixels. Maybe I'm just a better-bred human, but I doubt it, as I sem to encounter people with FAR better hearing and vision than myself daily (one guy I know can hear up to 38KHz pitches and turning on my LCDTV hurts his ears when the inverter for the backlight kicks on, he hasn't used a monitor in his life until the most recent OLED screens... poor guy.)

    And even then, it's my property once I've paid for it. Damn your license, if it's for SALE, you've made your money off of me, you don't get to make more off of MY RESOURCES unless you pay me for the usage of such.

    Of course, if you don't see a problem with this, I'll be more than happy to start leeching your power, bandwidth, water/sewage, and maybe even your cell service if you're not smart enough to use a cell phone that's purely for phone calls and nothing else.
