A new monitor, anyone rich? - T3hRogue - 25-11-2010
O Hai! A bit late but...
The Ostendo CRVD 43″ Curved Display.
![[Image: 673219.jpg]](http://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/images345x345/673219.jpg)
This monstrous monitor is the first commercially available curved display and features a resolution of 2880 x 900. That's right.
The CRVD is able to engage 75% of a user’s peripheral vision, apparently, meaning you’re always aware of what’s going on onscreen – even in the distant corners where windows go to die. Worried about your games not being compatible with your spiffy new monitor? Don’t be. The CRVD works with existing graphics cards, drivers and games without the need for special hardware or software. Well. I hope so. I've not seen that it can't. *Totally did not see it on anything other than a high-spec PC*
So, if you’d rather not plop down two or three monitors side-by-side on your desk, *cough* Mark *cough*, the CRVD might just be the answer. Mind you, it's rather expensive.

Pretty nice, not tall enough for my standards :tongue .
They advertised it using WoW which shows that the company has a lack of understanding of what REAL gamers play.

They advertised it on a lot of things, WoW being prevalent. Sadly. For humanity

That screen has no advantage to playing WoW, The only helps you get in WoW is Macros.

Wait.. Jamie made an article - even if it is a few months old, hehe. :thumbs
That thing is pretty nice although I'm packing a total of 3780x1080 over 3 and at a fraction of the price.
I need one of those though, just to add to the collection. :dno
RE: A new monitor, anyone rich? - Drumm - 26-11-2010
I'm planning on buying one of these once I get the cash, and space.
RE: A new monitor, anyone rich? - T3hRogue - 26-11-2010
That's about half the price of my above. Then again, it's only 6 monitors Sellotaped together
And yes Mark, I can do it. I choose not to
