$6500 is ridiculous. I don’t know too much about how LCDs are manufactured but I don’t see how adding a bend could make it so fucking expensive. I bought a 25" widescreen HD monitor for $200 for god’s sake.
That’s pretty cool. The picture of the curved display on a flat monitor looks all distorted, but at 43" and curved I bet having the whole thing be equidistant from your eyes would really look good and reduce eye strain.
I have a setup very similar to what fry posted, it uses ATI’s 5000 series graphics card with a technology called eyefinty. that pic posted is a chump because they use 2 different sized monitors, mine are all 22’’.
That display is a really cool concept. The main issue isnt the price, its that its a garbage TN LCD at a stunningly low pixel density compared to the cost. Id imagine the backlight is dim and uneven as well, due to the curve.
Its not a easy task to do something like that, which is why nobody does it. So, They can charge basically whatever they want.
And id say a line in-between displays in CAD and things of the sort would be a horrid idea. General multi-tasking or gaming would be fine with 3 monitors, a main centered one and one to each side… But two displays would shove the center right at the gap, making for some terrible gaming.
