I wounder how much this thing is going to cost? I could see it as much asmid-lineHDTV when it finally comes out, and is it even worth it?

It,s a really cool display, and you will probably need a huge desk to put it on :P, but I think it will be expensive compared to good adn hiqh quility LCD screens, also I dont think it will be comfortable for anything else then gaming, imagine going to the desktop.

It looked awesome. What was the native resolution of that thing anyway? And at what res was that thing playing games at CES?Spartan8907

y a could also see lines of monitors

and i really dont see the point of that on fps's driving games on the other hand would be pretty cool

More realism and immersion. Even on a regular widescreen you have major tunnel vision on fps games. This will eventually become popular and be a full 180 degrees.

In a few years this will probably be popular with the hardcore types. And they should be seamless by then, unlike this piece of crap Alienware is trying to sell.

Then when we hit photorealism in graphics, higher resolutions and wider screens will be all thats left to keep people upgrading.

Yeah, that's pretty cool. But as others have said, you'd need a heck of a rig to actually drive that sucker...

Even whatever they were playing in that video (Crysis..?) looked like it was hitting maybe 5 or 10 FPS here and there. Not a smooth gaming experience. And with a display with that kinda field of view, you'd probably just get motion sick!

I've got a 24" LCD monitor. Do I really need anything bigger than that?

Answer = nope.

They said the price is TBA.serbsta69

I would have said about a grand at least, but combine that with the fact it's made by Alienware and you're looking into somewhere in the regions of half a million. Not exaggerating.

I really dont see a point in this truth fully unless your uber rich and just want something bigger and not essentially better. you might as weell just make a box were the inside is the actual game. NOW THATS 360 FOR YAYdeathshand707

Its a glimpse of the future.

This greatly illustrates the tunnel view most of us are currently gaming in:

The Alienware guy said they're was nothing else like it on the market, that's a lie. I saw another monitor just like it on the CES live show.

It looks great but I bet it costs an arm and a leg.
