43" Curved Display

Ya know, it's basically a 14" low res LCD stretched horizontally and curved. Pretty weak for $8k, even if it is cool.

Now if they gave that thing 17" of vertical viewing with at least 1200 lines of res, it would be kinda sweet.

it isn't stretched, it is 4 separate screens "stitched" together is what I read.

Yes, and the aspect ratio is 3.2:1, So, an image will be stretched to fit it

Totally not worth the price...but still awesome as hell.

Wow, that's pretty cool...and worth more than my car.

I didn't mean pixel stretched, I meant physically. It's just a VERY widescreen 14" monitor. The resolution is pitiful. I get more usable pixels on my 30" HP. Matter fact, I could have bought 8 of my HPs LP3065 for that price and had a wall of very high res screens!

Yes, it is but what will you display on it that won't be distorted with that aspect ratio, if you fill it all?

I'd make mperfect's avatar fit...
