If I set mine that high I can't read the text.

How about a 360 panorama? A 20x20' room should hold it on flat panels 
and you can put a swivle chair in the center! That would be wild with 
some of your shots!

Okay. I give up. You could have a 16-bit histogram utility that would 
run quickly and display itself on our 96 dpi monitors with full 
screen and zoom functions that would allow you to examine it in 
detail. How come no one has written such a thing as a plugin for 
Photoshop? I'd buy a copy.
