Corning's new Lotus Glass promises higher-resolution displays, more

I'd love to have a scratch-proof/resistant monitor.

 

You mean desktop monitor or laptop monitor?
Anyways, at least in my case neither of the 2 would be useful, it would just make the PC or Laptop a LOT LOT more expensive for nothing

 

My thoughts are it may be good for TVs where little kids or over-enthusiastic sports fanatics my throw something at the screen. Or it may be useful for touchscreens.

 

Yupp I agree it sounds like it will be very useful on touch screen devices, and for sport fanatics (luckily I am just interested in Golf )

 

Both, and more.
You can choose your monitors when buying PCs and most laptops.

 

PCs yes. "Most" laptops? Note really. If you want a different monitor with your notebook, generally you have to buy a different model notebook.
