I thought all Apple monitors were 16X10 so I chose 4800 X 3000 which would be a 16X10 configuration. Consider that the 30" Apple Cinema HD display is listed as providing a 2560X1600 display, a 16X10 configuration, not 16X9. Of course, I'd be CATatonic if Mr. Whiskers leaves his footprints on my iTable. -- Remove blown from email address to reply.

Well, my iTable will recognize my touch or odor, via iSmell, and so cats, dogs and other human folk can't budge it. They can put hot coffee urns on the table, and no problemo, but pizza oils, esp. pepperoncini, need to be cleaned off . I want 4000 x 3000 so my Hi Rez digital images won't need a bit of cropping. I won't be watching movies on it, as it'd be too long to crook my neck down to watch a feature length film. -- john mcwilliams

I told you to buy the iEasel for the iTable which allows you to tilt the iTable to watch movies, but you just never listen. I don't know why I even bother. -- Remove blown from email address to reply.
