Huge Monitor: Alienware Curved Monitor Looks Like It's From Another Planet

Now that's widescreen I think it's ott for most people. I wonder how much it will be?

 

[Forbairt]

that I don't want to know ... as its a custom build will they need a factory especially for it ? EEK .. or a production line ... with most TFT's the screen gets reused by various companies (I believe)

Also its AlienWare .. so ... you soooo know it ain't gonna be cheap

 

[mneylon]

Whether it's cheap or not it looks cool

Of course I'd need a bigger desk to fit it, though I'm sure I could work around that somehow

 

[Forbairt]

I do wonder if it'd be comfortable for normal work use

Most people just couldn't justify the price for games alone ... could they ?

Serious gamers wouldn't care

I guess having a friend who spent 700 quid on one graphics card I really should have known better than to have said that

Exactly

I'm currently toying with spending similar money on a Blu Ray / HD DVD player

Did you end up upgrading your TV then ? Last I heard it was still a brick ?

 

[mneylon]

Heh

Hell yes!

I got a 42" LCD a couple of months ago and a nice 5.1 surround system to go with it

Was planning on getting something for around the 1k mark ... (not sure what that'd get me these days) ... then I realised ... I can't remember the last time I turned on the main tv in the living room

Edit: oh .. did you manage to sort out all the cables in the end ... I remember the cabling issue all right

I don't watch that much TV, but I DO watch a LOT of DVDs

Edit: oh .. did you manage to sort out all the cables in the end ... I remember the cabling issue all right

Nope. I still have loads of cables trailing across the floor

 

[Forbairt]

Cables ... the bane of my existance ... 15 power cables in here .... quite impressive I must admit
