Got A Spare $6500?
« on: April 19, 2010, 06:47:42 PM »
Just saw this monitor reviewed on G4's AOTS, I have to say it looks freaking cool, but just too expensive, it's a huge curved ultra-wide 32:10 aspect ratio monitor, thats 180% wider then 16:9 ratio, flying AH on this thing would be awesome, being curved the immersion would be great, but just unfortunately way to expensive.

Looks nice, but for $6500 I would have hoped that the refresh rate was beyond 60hz and the listed Static Contrast Ratio.  They list Contrast Ratio as 10,000 and its clearly a Dynamic number.  I really hate companies that try and fudge their numbers.

Did you guys check out the YouTube videos of 3 of these monitors hooked-up. Unreal.

I remember Seamless displays came out with these a few years ago but I think they were a bit more expensive.  They were 50" displays and I don't know if they ever actually sold any.

Swing by my house Trax this is what I got, works for me... for now. :D

Nothing more then a ridiculously expensive gimmick.

I would rather buy 3 24" IPS monitors, save myself £3,000.00 and deal with the bezels.
