FlexScan has announced their SX2461W-U HD LCD display. The 24″ screen offers a special colorblind system, which allows those who have problems seeing certain colors to actually see most graphics as they are meant to be seen.

So why DON’T we see the Wii slinging out high definition resolution? Apparently, for two reasons.
