Re: wherefore CGM?

Scalable images are also needed for printing --
regardless of poxy video display issues (really --
72 or 100 dpi is still pretty poxy). However,
A recent Scientific American article (an isssue from
this past summer) described a new LCD display with
> 200 dpi resolution, in full color, and readable in 
daylight (I believe it was a passive panel that 
used reflective light) The researchers projected 600 
dpi before long. A display with the resolution of 
printed paper -- now that's an exciting prospect!
