    It seems like the desktop display industry is 
    not interested in pursuing [300dpi screens at > 22"]
My not-very-informed guess is that it's largely (or at least partially) a yield issue.

Insanely high pixel counts => More chances of a bad pixel

Huge screens => Lots of waste when you have to throw a panel away or sell it as a B-quality screen because of dead pixel(s)

I think they'd love to sell us insane 8K 32" screens but, doing it in an economically feasible manner is another story.

Of course I'm just guessing. Not sure how much of the problem is yield, how much is waiting for baseline graphics hardware to catch up, and how much is lack of interest/demand.



Yet TVs are sold with huge pixel counts and even bigger sizes at much lower prices. So I don't think the yield is an issue or they'd be affected even more.
