A company called Sigma Designs, and located somewhere in CA has recently
begun shipments of their latest graphics board, aimed at desktop publishing.
The resolution is two planes of 1664x1280 (I think), monochrome.  This gives
four levels of gray, and an effective resolution of 3328x2560 - sounds just
about right for a laser printer image.  The card(s?) are supposed to plug
into anything from a PC on up.  The price: $2300 with 19" monitor, $1800 with
15" and $1200 without a monitor (I'm recalling prices from memory).  No, I
don't work for them - the only connection I have is that I've bought stuff
from them in the past, and may buy some new toys from them in the next few
months.
