QuoteThe sighting: We can't have one of these Alienware curved monitors until the second half of this year, but until then, we've been abducted by its four nearly seamless and sharp screens of DLP goodness. Lit by LEDs, this 2880x900 monster is well over three feet wide and is said to have an other-worldly .02ms (we think!) response time, great for gaming. The Soylent Green: You can see the seams between this monitor's four segments, but the Alienware humanoids tell us that flaw will be gone by the time this craft lands on Earth. The blacks look a bit washed out to our eyes, too. Price is yet to be determined.

Holy cow.  That's a monitor that you'd hook up to the best gaming rig you could possibly build, and then put in a special gaming room in your house that has nothing but your gaming rig in it...
Prayin' for a 20!

The interesting bit is that its currently 4 separate rear projection displays. What I'd like to see is they take the new 7G (or 8G) (meaning HUGE) panels they are making in the new LCD plants, and make sure its one of the new thinner, flexible type, so they can just bend the entire panel. That'd be hot.

As it is the current prototype endsup with lines between the individual displays, and it takes special software processing by the software (ie: games) intending to run on it, to make the lines disappear.
