I've often dreamed of jury rigging four iPad 3 panels together. Think about it: a 19.4" diagonal 4096 x 3072 display, for the not-unreasonable price of $1,596. Drop the flash memory and A5X etc inside the iPad, and maybe you could get it down to $1000 or so (!).

No idea how technically feasible that is, but "tiling" could be one way to build a really high-res 20"+ display without requiring absurdly large, continuous error-free panels.
