No, my 820 is only a month or so out of the store, but the box said 2880x1440 and the new driver's I downloaded from Epson's site are supposed to up grade it to 5720x1440, or something like that. But just now I could not find that screen setting, of course since I saw it I changed from a parallel port to a USB connection. Maybe I need to change back. In fact I do anyway because photoshop 5.5 knows nothing about USB.
