Well apparently it can run Quake 3 @ 1920x1080 on full detail. Pretty neat. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_mDuJuvZjI[/youtube]

Also John Carmack who coded for Quake used a 28-inch 16:9 1080p monitor. IN 1995! Company website from (what it seems like) 1995.

Impressive that small PCB runs Quake 3.

Almost impressive as that 28" 16x9 CRT.
