Want to know what's even better than Ostendo's 43-inch CRVD curved display? Having three of them side-by-side, that's what. It isn't cheap, and at $6,500 each, three of them will run almost $20,000. That's a lot of scratch, but then again, have you seen this video?
According to Ostendo, the curved monitor measures 43 inches and offers an ultra-wide 32:10 aspect ratio, which is 180 percent wider than 16:9 displays and 240 percent wider than 4:3 monitors. It works with existing videocards and doesn't require any special hardware, software, or drivers, other than a graphics card powerful enough to push gaming pixels at a 2880x900 resolution.

If I had $6500 lying around on my peripheral upgrade budget, this would be my first choice -- I would lug it around to every single LAN party I go to as well.

Has anyone else noticed that the video provided shows distorted images? For that kind of money I would expect perfect aspect ratios and images. Total unusable in my humble opinion.

Alienware had this same setup last year at one of the trade shows, the monitor almost looks like it's exactly the same. $6500.00, come on thats ridiculous. $999.00 - $1200.00 would be more realistic I think.

Well it is bold and beautiful for sure...until you notice that its quite large and not thin at all. If they make a 2 inch thin LED screen then it may be worth the $6500. They just seem to have opened the idea up for someone to make a thin curved monitor thats going to be as thin as an LCD is now. I applaud their ingenuity but to make such a cumbersome size was their first mistake. Not everybody wants their monitor in the living room..lots of room for improvement though..
