Default Alienware Curved Monitor + Video

Just for you HAVOC , i'll include a video in this one

Gametrailers.com - Alienware - CES 2008: Gaming Monitor

Looks...like a very good idea theoreticly, but they havnt got it to work yet by the looks of it. (the screen seems to split in 3 or 4)

i saw this the other day....it looks amazing...i really want to try it out....but it seems like after long hours of gaming it would give you a headache. It also does not seem very practical for everyday use.

Yeah you can see lines in between each, i assume its just four separate panels side by side under one bezel. I think each panel is at 1280x1024, so that times 4. Must be quad crossfire.

Edit: nvm, its rear projection lol. Thats gay, if theyre gonna make something liek this at least make it lcd.

Ya i saw this on engadget a few days ago. Looks really cool, but i think you would have to be a little bit farther away from the monitor than usual.

Yeah. Gaming or not gaming that would drive me nuts.

Not for me. I use my main rig for more things than just gaming.
