About viewing those high def Hirise images.

We had this debate on here before: would very large screen high definition TV's be useful for viewing the Hirise images at their highest resolution?
I think anyone now who has viewed these at their highest res on standard PC monitors would long for much larger screens.
I'm using the IAS 3.1 image viewer for displaying the high resolution JP2 images on my 19 inch CRT monitor. Here's one I'm studying now:

HiRISE | Crater and Gullies in the Newton Basin (PSP_002119_1380)

It shows fogs in Newton crater, taken during the local winter. This may provide the means to provide frost deposition at this location in accordance with the Philip Christensen theory of the origin of the Malin/Edgett gullies.
This image taken in the same general vicinity also during winter shows such frost on gullies:
