Nvidia researchers have used a fantastically straightforward approach to quadruple the effective resolution and double the refresh rate of cheap, off-the-shelf LCD panels: Stacking them on top of each other. This technique, which Nvidia calls cascaded displays, could be key to developing cheap, ultra-high-resolution screens that are needed for consumer-oriented head-mounted displays like the Oculus Rift. Nvidia has already built a prototype cascaded display device — using a 3D printer no less — that closely resembles the Oculus Rift, and the results are surprisingly good.

Cool, this could mean that people can buy cheaper low resolution monitors, and TV, and still have almost or the same quality of a more expensive high resolution display. Plus, they would not need a super fast gaming computer to experience high quality graphics because their PC is connected to a lower resolution display which requires less power to make a picture.
