projector?....
ergh.
Even though the technology doesn't seem ideal, they do look sexy and I could imagine getting quite an advatage on a FPSer :)
$8000 though - OUCH!
but if the game rendering engine didn't realise you had a curved screen, how would it really help? Your fov would still be narrow.
FOVs are normally set depending on the resolution.
Can't see why the curve should really effect it.
It's frankly embarrassing in my opinion that they've managed to release a 43" wide monitor that costs £8,000, and still has less pixels than a far cheaper 30" monitor. I'd actually pay more for the 30".
2,880x900 or 2560x1600 - hard choice.
It is a chunky monkey :eek:

Hangon... I thought we got rid of curved monitors a few years ago! Now we're getting them back? :D
Wow, what a waste.
It should be at least four normal monitors put together.
For instance, if it was four 1920x1200 widescreen monitors side-by-side, it would be 7680x1200.
Or if it was four 1600x1200 4:3 monitors side-by-side, it would be 6400x1200.
I cant believe anyone would even consider wasting their money on this. It only has 900 vertical pixels -- that's not even HD :/
Things would be so stretched out, it would be retarded.
^ Actually, I'm sorry. That is HD, but it's not 1080
technically it is HD, 720p it is...
Not 1080 sure, but 720p is still considered HD...
Sorry to be all anal.. :P
EDIT: darn.. 2 sec late...
0.02 ms?
thats a bit quick isnt it?
more like 0.02 s or 2 ms.
Hmmmm.... someone humour me, would your games automatically spot that resolution and go "yep, I can handle that" without stretching everything?
And if it's only 900 pixels high, presumably you could have 3 of these things running, giving you a near 360 degree gaming environment, and STILL be able to run them off a couple of 6600gts! Result!
Most games will work with just about any resolution and have done for a while now.
Go back a few years and it was a different story though.
