Gaming With Three 43'' CRVD Displays is Awesome
I remember drooling over NEC's 43-inch curved monitor, the CRVD, last June. Now that display has an Ostendo label and it's just as breathtaking as ever.
Unfortunately, the stunning display from Ostendo comes with the same horrendous price tag as the NEC version. However, Engadget cites Ostendo as saying the displays are actually selling quite well. Most of the units sold so far have been for defense simulation and training but we like to think there's a die-hard gamer out there somewhere with the guts (wallet-shaped guts, of course) to purchase a few of these bad boys.
Why would you want more than one? Well, imagine a 2880 x 900 resolution, a .36mm pixel pitch, and a sub-.02ms response time. Got it? Right, now multiply it by three:
If you have a spare $20,000 hanging around, this dream could become a reality.
In other news, you seem really fond of commas Jane.
hmm.... playing HWAX w/ these 3 monitors, a i-7 extreme system, and 2 HD5890... plus 7.2 surround sound.... hmm... now I know why I need to work much harder (and with some luck)..... lol
I've seen borderless screens put together to form a giant screen; now that is cool
The running 'slow' is an illusion from the poor recording quality. Looks like Forza 3, in which case it's 3 xboxs driving that game. Would explain the stretched look, since those monitors would stretch the 1080p/720p from the xbox.
You could partly buy a home with that kind of money...
playing Xbox 360 on this? Isn't that kind of pushing?... but yea... that may explain why the image was stretched so much... though I would be very surprised that they actually use a Xbox360/PS3 to show case these monitors! It is like showing how good of a 1080P 240H LED HDTV w/ Wii games...lol
The guy had no money left after blowing $20K on the displays. Had to settle with an Atom with IGP.
but I like these kinda posts, keep em coming
ok nevermind after watching it again, the middle screen doesn't have it either
