2,048 x 1,152 !!!? Better get out the 4870x2's. Certainly a monitor ill consider for upgrading to when its released if its around the £200 mark. Any idea what connections it is going to have? just dvi or more>?

Looks hawt. But I can imagine that a few games won't support this res nicely...

lol... thats random!

TBH 1920x1080 would be better as a commonly supported res at the same aspect ratio

Probably what it is so they can advertise better than Full HD.....

Now if only it was not a TN panel we would have a winner!

Personally I will wait for an OLED screen they be mighty fine :)

Do any games even support that kind of crazy resolution?

i want!
looks awesome.
who does it look so small though?
it looks much smaller than a 24" :\

because it's 23"? :P

And it's 16:9 instead of 16:10 so that'll make it shorter and wider.

but it looks LOADS smaller!
my 24" Samsung's look much bigger.

I guess it's some funny trick of the camera that makes it look small, else that girl is a lot bigger then I would expect.......

If its around £200 and up to the Dell Ultrasharp quality, then it will be a fantastic buy.....but if it's only around the quality of the cheaper Dell panels, then meh.

It'll have more in common with the cheaper Dells unfortunately - at that price it has to be a TN panel.

Maybe that's a six-foot-tall model. :)

yeah it will be a TN

The was a piece on TFT central about a similar model SM2343BW same resolution etc retail price was quoted at 279 Euros = ~ £230

Link to German Samsung specs page for the monitor

Oh and it is 15mm narrower and 35mm shorter than an equivelent Samsung 24" screen
