I find this luddite attitude offensive. I think that display technology should follow the path to eventually making the view look like any other material in nature, that means achieving the size of the pixel = size of the molecule - isn't that the pinnacle of video technology?


If that pixel then also reflects light like most materials, then yes indeed, it would be the holy grail.

But for the next couple of hundred years or so I think we'll be more than happy with 32k~64k displays or something in that range.

Displays with pixels the size of molecules would effectively be a kind of real-time matter duplicator. Bound to happen one day, but not today ;)
