"All 35 mm photographers judge their work through a LCD panel no bigger than three inches wide. Sometimes, this is the same size as the final usage."

Now that just can't be. I didn't buy a 30 inch monitor to view images on an 3x3 lcd. Rethink that sentence... please.

But even better, your last paragraph is the most telling.

"we will soon be able to enjoy National Geographic images the size of our walls with a resolution as close to reality as possible. "

Please write this story. It's important! We are gravitating towards large TV screens. They are larger than we could realistically display our own images.

What is that all about and how does it effect the photo editor, art director and consumer?

I have my own opinion and it has everything to do with NOT judging images on the back of my camera.
