Some of the computer game writers write for resolutions a bit higher
than anything available at the time they are writing their games. But
other than some games I would be (pleasantly) surprised if there is
any "content" that we as normal civilians (ie: not employed by he
content producers (TV/Movie studios) or various three/four letter
government agencies) that could take full advantage of that
resolution. Next question, how many xterms could one put on on screens
like the above :-) .
