Massive Monitor

PC gaming anyone? Huge Curved Alienware Monitor
Posted on 11.01.2008 at 21:32 in Tech News by ReeGedMartin posted about a 150 inch plasma TV unveiled by Panasonic the other day (link). Well it seems computer monitors are getting extremely large as well. If you don’t think your widescreen is wide enough and you have a fat enough wallet you might wanna check this new Alienware Monitor out when it’s released in the second half of 2008.The 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 2880×900 monster is well over three feet wide and is said to have an other-worldly .02ms 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.

0.02ms is ridiculous, the human eye can't tell the difference between 8ms and 2ms

look how chunky it is

My tv is about a little pixel of that huge monitor... :'(

lol thats a PC monitor not a TV :P ill post you a TV :P

i don't like the design, it's not full hd, and it's going to be hell expensive.

I love the design.

how can something that big have no full hd? and your neck will hurt a lot, when playing a game on that.

They should make a monitor that goes around you so you have to keep turning around to play properly. Great fun...

It's called virtual reality...

Oh yeah, but I actually mean a screen that is in the shape of a circle and you go in the middle... But that would be stupid.

^ unless your seat was hooked up to the game and turned when you turned.

in my opinion, vr is one of the greatest things that have been invented.
