Jeez, TV must be rubbish tonight.... got to thinking 'How many pixels have I got in my house?'

17" TFT monitor 1280x1024 = 1.31Mp
DSLR = 6.1Mp
Digital compact = 3.2Mp
Viewfinders on above (approx) = 0.27Mp
Mobile phone = 0.01Mp
TV running PAL = 720x576 = 0.41Mp

Total: 11.3 million pixels

Arse. It was too good to last.
Still, third in the world ain't bad!

(NB Ted doesn't have any pixels in his house. Baird Televisor is it, grandad? (sorry, being flippant)

does the 7.8MP from my printer count? If so, I have 2, so sign me up for another 15.7MP!

Bad luck, all TVs are PAL 720 x 576 = 0.4Mp each. So that lot gets you 2Mp.

Come on then - come and have a go if you think you're hard enuff....

In front of my now I have 3x17" monitors all running 1600x1280, two are dual headed into my main box, the other I can switch between the other 3 PC's under my desk.

To my left far I have an old sony running at 1280x1024 connected to a 5th box that I use just for mail.

To my right is my lap top, which when on runs at 1024x764. Upstairs is another PC in the guest room running at 1024x768.

Then I havea goofy little touch pad Windows CE thingy kicking around at 640x480.

Then there is the digicam and my mobile phone...

Gotta be approachin 10,000,000

Now once I got out and buy a few of these DSLR thingies, what ever they are you'll all be quaking in yer boots...

hehehe

PS. Do I win a prize?

Many thanks Simpo,

I had been worrying about how many pixels I had for some time now.

Thanks to your hard work and diligence I now know that I don't quite have enough, and will takes steps to remedy the situation over Xmas.

I feel a pointless purchase coming on...lol
