i dont want anything over 32", and i want to use it as a monitor and a tv and sometimes picture in picture and i want to buy it from the apple store as i have a discount

the DPI on an HD monitor would not be acceptable to you
I'm on a laptop with a 14" screen now which runs at 720p res - 1366x768, doubling the physical size to 28" would be similar to a 1080p screen at 32" and it'd just be awful, everything would have to be huge, and you can't just sit further back from it, it's horrible sitting more than a couple of foot from a monitor when you're working.

A 30" monitor would run at a resolution of something like 2560x1600 on average. big difference from 1080p

well you're either "special" or didn't do it for long enough
it's legally not possible.

this is getting more confusing than food

you do realise that £(apple - discount) >> £(normal online store) ..?

i think we may well be talking about different discounts

( mongychops, Sun 3 Jul 2011, 19:33, archived)

you are referring to lorry based discounts?
