that is awesome, hope to see 22"/1200P options for dual and tri display

um.... why is the first thought here. Considering you can get 21:9 monitors now it kind of defeats the point of the dual monitor set up at this size. I could understand it if it was say 2x 24inch or bigger with 1080p+ resolutions but honestly at 19inches it's just odd.

For most people 19 inch is annoyingly small these days, so no good for single screen work. For dual screen it STILL has a bezel even if smaller, so it still won't be suitable for spreading a big webpage / word doc right across the screen.

Awesome but i need a 3 in 1 , not a 2 in one and oh yeah 28-30 inch, 2048 or 4k resolution ... at least and for an affordable price , wich philips can't do , will wait for samsung or any of the others who can do that at a low price

I agree - I don't really understand who this is targeted at. My first thought, with it being 'virtually' seamless was gamers, but I don't know any gamer who'd be interested in a 19" monitor.

The whole 'virtually seamless' thing is nothing you can't achieve with separate monitors, even on a fairly sensible budget. I have a pair of relatively inexpensive Dell UltraSharp U2414H monitors with a seam of less than 1cm from pixel to pixel in the middle. Additionally, having two separate monitors has more advantages over having a pair essentially welded together in the middle.

This is kind of nice, although definitely not seamless! I couldnt cope with a black like down the middle of whatever I'm doing

I see this kind of setup with wallstreet types to keep track of trading and such. So perhaps that's the target audience. Or to inform at train/bus stations and such.
