Samsung Galaxy S4, if I remember correctly. But the information page says GT-I9505.
EDIT: Specs at Wikipedia (the screen size is 5"). I bought it a few months ago after my old HTC phone began to drive me crazy. A few weeks after I bought it a couple of years ago my three year old dropped it on concrete. Repair shops would charge half of the phone's price, but I managed to find a new screen (not through HTC who were anything but helpful) and replair it, but the responsiveness never became as it was and the seal wasn't too good, so the screen was becoming dusty.

| Wait a second... if they're mass-producing 1920*1080 AMOLED screens for smartphones, then what's the barrier to mass-producing enlarged versions - with the same resolution - for computer monitors?

Here are a couple: Processing power, bandwidth. So there's no market yet unless you can sell things without caring about standards.
If you scale it up to 25", you get 52 megapixels. At 60Hz that's 3 billion pixels per second. Which means it will require 75 Gbps or more way beyond HDMI and Displayport.
EDIT: I was too quick. Forget the above. I missed the "same resolution" part. But a 52K monitor would be nice.

| Yeah. I don't care about 52k, 1080 is still perfectly fine with me, but if they can make such a beautiful and relatively cheap 1080p AMOLED display that's only 5" in size, why can't they make one 25" in size? Normally screens with less pixel density are easier to produce, if I'm not mistaken?
I'm hoping that someone will chime in who knows about this sort of thing, because I'm sure there's a reason but I'm just impatient to get myself a fancy OLED monitor

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that some of that is false.

Nope. I'm telling the definite truth. (Even though I am untrustable).

I find it highly unlikely that your computer cost $18k.

That doesn't mean that it necessarily has to cost anywhere near that amount of money. I built mine myself, and it cost less than $800. What could possibly be in your computer for it to cost as much as a brand new car?

| I don't know. I'm looking up my specs now... I can see I have and AMD FX-8120 Eight core processor. 3.89 GHz
and a 64-bit operating system. With water cooling and four hard drives (which you are probably thinking I am lying about).

Having four hard drives is not unusual. I have 3, and I'd have more if I could afford it. But even with a nice processor and graphics card and lots of hard drives and water cooling and everything, there's no reason that it should cost more than $5000. The $18k figure just really strains credulity. So you're either wrong, got ripped off, or have an extremely overbuilt machine.
