Alienware curved display rocks Crysis at 2880 x 900

Here's a link to this insane screen.

HUGE SCREEN

A bit bulky but exciting to see DLP and OLED technology being used together to show off an amazing display!

I'd love to see which [H] member will get this first when it comes out

Wow, very cool! Less than .02-millisecond response time, too!

I love how they claim its "seamless", when you can obviously see the vertical bands on the screen. Oh well.

Morazl · Jan 9, 2008

yeah... those faint black vertical lines would bug me more than having actual bezels. heh

It was a prototype. They're promising seamlessness for the retail model, due sometime in H2 08.

Cool stuff, but given that it's Alienware-branded, I cringe to think what the price will be.

4th, 5th thread on this?

BoredTiger · Jan 9, 2008

Really? I didn't see a thread on this before...guess I should take a better look then. Sorry bout the repost.

Well they did say its going to be cheaper than a hydai, so what, about $400? lol. The LED powered DLP will be interesting to see though,

This NEC looks really similar. Perhaps Alienware rebranded the NEC

Yeah they are the same exact thing. The same exact, crappy, thing, I might add. Those vertical bars are obnoxious as hell. At least if you were using 3-4 discrete monitors you'd get the advantages of having multiple displays.

I HATE the vertical bars...man oh man...

but if they promise seamlessness I would *LIKE* to think that they will deliver...i may just purchase one if those seams disappear

PS: The NEC looks like it may be better
