I disagree completely, a large screen with high definition could give you a sensation of flight that you just can not get out of a small window. 4 years spending thousands of hours sitting next to a very large observer window behind the CAPT of an MD-11 is what I think of when I say this. In a low level bank you get a very interesting perspective. It is said that the only reason Gulfstream has not enlarged that narrow fuselage on their G series aircraft is that they would lose their trademark large windows. I for one believe a fine detail large display would be preferred over straining your neck to look out a porthole! The only negative is that some may see more than they want to but then again they did give you the option to turn it off.
