    Basically two 19" widescreen monitors nailed together me thinks mine come out at just over 3ft when there together so seems about right.

    Typically, anyone who buys ANYTHING Alienware doesn't really mind too much about the price.

    V. nice link. Made my day, for sure.

    As much as I'd like one - especially if it could "wrap around" (lol - see earlier post) - it looks too bulky to be practical. LCD is the norm now, not CRT.

    Put simply, I wouldn't have room on my desk...

    Good to see Alienware pushing the boundary (again), though.

    Now, this, on the other hand, this is completely different. Wow.

    Re: Alienware's curved monitor is a gaming dream

    Any more news on this screen? I am still interested but I have seen no new details on it, or the NEC counterpart since it was first announed. I'll be saving up for either this or a small 1080p TV which may end up being about the same price.

    Re: Alienware's curved monitor is a gaming dream

    Either the market for curved monitors has gone flat or the Alienware R&D team's been abducted by humans
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.
