I think this is kind of the point, assuming sweviver is right. Firstly, you get much more effective resolution due to the more complete panel usage AND you get a lower hardware requirement due to lower need for over sampling for distortion correction.
With the reverb you have to drive those 2m extra pixels and we can reasonably assume that a bunch of them are being wasted to account for distortion correction and masking or whatever it's called. But like I say, that's based on the sweviver comments.
Certainly if it's true, then as a cutting edge product the price is probably reasonable, I just dont want to be the first to test that! But if one or two people confirm and there are no other downsides of stability or comfort etc, then i am piling in without any hesitation.
