Sharp Bringing OS X-Compatibility to New 32" 4K Touchscreen Monitor

[DaveN]

That looks RIDICULOUS.

I think it is funny that Fox still claims to be a news agency.

 

[AppleMe79]

Can we sort the all singing and all dancing iPad Mini first before we go bigger and better....ta very much

 

[smirking]

A 32" iPad? What will be the applications beyond enterprise?

I'm sure a lot of coders, designers, and sysadmins could come up with a few for you. I belong to the first group and I could always use more screen space and I hate having multiple monitors. It just doesn't feel right to me.

 

[apolloa]

I'd like to see you redesign an OS and have less bugs than they do

Well that's easy, give me all the resources Apple has too and I can make a far less buggy iOS I'm sure. I may even actually listen to the feedback from the beta testers.

 

[Aleco]

The screen itself will probably cost you just about $4k.

 

[Macboy Pro]

Can't wait to see an ACD 32" 4k monitor. Matte please!

I can't wait to see the "Apple" price

 

[xdxdaustin]

I'm sure this has already said this but..

 

[MWPULSE]

I think sommat like this, where the screen can move up n down on the vertical plane to a horizontal would be quite useful in SOME situations, doing drawing a la illustrator/photoshop. and possibly video/audio editing.

However I still don't really understand the need for it yet. I just don't think its particularly ergonomic, easy, or quicker than using a keyboard n mouse (in the case of drawing, a Wacom touch tab can be pretty nifty)

Would be pretty neat if you could have a 27" touch sensitive controller though, an extension of the workspace on the screen

hmmmm

 

[MeeMac]

I've Been Working Out

It is an iPad AND a Home Gym.

 

[9000]

Why?? That sounds really useless.

Wait, who am I kidding? The LA Unified School District is going to be all over these!

I think it is funny that Fox still claims to be a news agency.

Well I'd watch them just to get the other point of view since the other news channels in LA are Democrat-biased (not as bad as Fox, still) and leave out certain details that Fox might report. Best to watch both, definitely not Fox alone.

----------

With Apple removing custom HiDPI modes for external monitors on Mavericks, that is going to be a very limited user experience.

Doesn't the scaling just have to do with OS X GUI, not other things?

----------

Bahaha!


First apple owners mock Microsoft's touch screen implementation.

Apple osx gets touch screen implementation

"take my $$$$$!"

Hypocrisy

Uh, no, they both suck. The Mac probably more since it's not even supposed to work with a touch screen.

 

[xmichaelp]

Bahaha!

I don't think anyone actually wants it for the touch screen capabilities.

 

[the8thark]

repeat after me: over-kill

pass..

1MB ram was overkill in 1984 but times have progressed far since then. Nothing is over kill forever, just overkill today. in the future who knows.

I can't wait to see the "Apple" price

And you will need 3 of them as the new Mac Pro can utilise 3x 4k screens. Price that up

 

[OrangeSVTguy]

I'm running 4320x2560. Too bad it's not touch screen

 

[gugy]

I can't wait to see the "Apple" price

Bring it on. My CC is ready.

 

[wizard]

Can't wait to see an ACD 32" 4k monitor. Matte please!

I'm not sure that is possible, the display is built on glass isn't it? Beyond that why take a super sharp screen and blur it.

 

[0000757]

Bahaha!

Like someone else said, it wasn't that Microsoft was using touch screens, it was the design Microsoft chose.

I'd rather tiles though, since Mac OS X is not a touch-friendly OS.

 

[twigman08]

I'll take one of those, hold the touch portion of it though.

I couldn't care less about the touch screen part. Now the other technology inside I am interested in.

 

[vmistery]

The 4K element i look forward too. The touchscreen element seems odd because on a 32" screen I am too far away generally to touch my screen. Although saying that kids that have been playing with my iPad have then gone on to try and touch the TV screen so perhaps everything will just go that way with the new touchscreen generation.

 

[D*I*S_Frontman]

Here's one application.

This.

Large format DAW surfaces are pricey for what they actually are: fancy mice. At least one or more of these things on your desk would be a bit more customizable and flexible input option for an audio engineer to use during a mix.

Sure, I love the tactile sensation of real faders as much as the next guy, but used to its fullest potential low-angle touch screen DAW controllers could be a productivity enhancer.

 

[macnisse]

Can't wait to see an ACD 32" 4k monitor. Matte please!

Yes, totally agree, matte option please!

 

[Ping Guo]

Why drag grubby fingers all over the screen when a mouse is already a superior input device?

 

[Rafterman]

Does the display come with the requisite nuclear powered display card needed to drive OSX at that resolution?

 

[FirstNTenderbit]

I don't see much commercial value of such a touch display except as a display model. The touch lag is quite awful. No CAD user will want it for serious editing.

It seems we're both agreeing but at different ends of the spectrum. My interpretation of commercial value hinges on hotels, airports, museums, sports arenas, car dealerships, etc. No CAD user will want it for serious editing? You're probably right. That niche wasn't what I was thinking when I said commercial.

Of course the value would be as a display because that's what it is, an interactive display. The number of commercial entities that could benefit from this is rather large. To base you assertion on the needs of CAD users is a wee bit limited.

A straw man or straw person, also known in the UK as an Aunt Sally, is a common type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and to refute it, without ever having actually refuted the original position. This technique has been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly in arguments about highly charged, emotional issues. In those cases the false victory is often loudly or conspicuously celebrated. (Wikipedia)

1. OS X is not getting touch screen implementation.
2. Apple owners are not like "take my $$$$$!" for this monitor.
3. You sir, are a troll.

And I can keep mocking Microsoft for ruining Windows, the most widespread desktop OS, with forcing it to accommodate for both high-precision pointing devices and finger-sized touch targets. A user interface can always only be optimal for one of both or none of both. Metro is the latter.

Hybris and Timidity in one. If you think you are fit enough to replace Craig Federighi as Apples Senior Vice President for Software Engineering, than you have to know what you do without having to ask someone. How are stupid beta testers supposed to know about building an OS? You may as well ask the horses how to build cars?
