I am so jealous, I thought my 22" widescreen was good but that takes the biscuit.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it run too. If you do mind, don't tell.

edit: what screen resolution does it run at?

AFAIK, Alienware's DLP RPTV isnt released yet. :hmm: Q2 2008 is the last I heard.

You beat me to it!

It is not DLP though. DLP sucks. It is Organic LED.

Yes - what kind of frosting?

2880x900.

I screwing with you guys too - I don't own this, but it may become a contender when it is released. It is OLED too!!!!

Expect a hefty chunk of a price tag.

Aspect ratio is all you have to worry about. Tweaking it to work at that res shouldn't be a problem. That Crysis screenshot looks like it has proper aspect ratio by the way.

Too thin. I like my monitors to be perfect squares. I also don't care for how long it is. Dear God you need a lot of space for it, and space on my desk is something that I lack at the moment (old games, books, DVD's, pens, pencils, bills, many other things . . .)

How much is the accompanying 14 foot-wide mousemat you need to be able to scroll from one side of the screen to the other?:rotfl:
