coolest monitor ever!!

check out this prototype curved monitor that Alienware (yes Alienware!) rolled out at CES this year...made by Alienware, the monitor is supposed to simulate peripheral vision. The sci-fi-like screen is aimed at gamers for a more immersive experience

The Alienware monitor consists of a curved DLP (digital light processing) rear-projection display and is lit by OLEDs. Its resolution, at 2880x900, is considered fairly modest for a display of this size. But its 0.2 millisecond response time is definitely geared toward the quick reaction time desired by gamers. The company claims that this refresh rate is over a magnitude better than the competition...

I Want one!!!

Re: coolest monitor ever!!

Should be at least 1080 vertical pixels, though. Needs to support HD at full res.

When OLED screens starts happening we'll see more of this. Only better, since you then don't need projection.
