Dear Monitor Manufacturers
Why can I not find a monitor that has the same or better resolution (1920x1200) than my current monitor without it being only 30” and costing greater than $800, but Apple can manufacture a second iPad that has a native resolution of 2048x1536??? Sincerely, The person that is going to end up using the iPad 2 as a monitor for lack of desktop space. P.s. - stacking multiple monitors is NOT...
