Comments for NEC Makes 43in 2880 x 900 Pixel Display

I guess they just used two 22" panels with 1440x900 - why not two 24" panels with 1920x1200 (or 1080)?
What kind of a viewing experience is NEC talking about? The thing is absolutely useless for games, since they won't know the resolution and movies come in 2,39:1 max, this display has 3,2:1. And because of the curvature, I'd imagine watching a film from 10 feet away will make the picture look a little squeezed.
For serious usage like 3D or video editing it lacks height too.

Nec are well known to have the best image quality ever.

the price is HUGE!

OMG that looks freakin sweet. I will look at this next time I buy a monitor. Oh wait, they'll have 42" LED TVs by then (I have BenQ 24" and its amazing!)

I wouldn't have thought it's any less practical than two 22" widescreens. Working out the numbers the screen should be about the same height as a 20" 4:3 display, a 23" 16:10 display and a 25" 16:9 display.
It's a shame it's so expensive, at £600-800 it would have been a real winner, at ten times that it's a joke - you could get three NEC 3090s side by side for that price (as well as the GTX 295s to drive them).

I'm about to spend over £1k on an Apple 30" cinema display (I'm a web and graphics designer) But, man, would I love to have this or what?!

it looks the perfect flight sim monitor except for the price, as mentioned above when you can get so many high quality displays for a lower price. as other people comment, I would like one. reckon this is the future for 3d viewing or something similar with more height.

imagine this: a screen sphere, with dozens of these curved screen curved into a giant ball and a hole for you to poke your head through and actually be in the crysis world.

@ ilovethemonkeyhead - wouldn't it be easier (not to mention cheaper) to just use VR if you want the complete immersive gaming experience?

I'd rather wait for displays in glasses to get good, and fitted with an accelerometer that moves the rendering point of view to match yours, than wait for huge or spherical screens =p
