Title: Got A Spare $6500?
Post by: trax1 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.

I'll be here to rain on parades all week. :D

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

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