NEC launches curved 43-inch panel

NEC has unveiled a mammoth, curved 43-inch screen which is guaranteed to take a nasty four digit bite out of your bank balance.

Dubber CRV43, the display features a resolution of 2880x900, which is in line with similar products announced last year. The contrast ratio is 10,000:1, brightness is not too impressive at 200cd/m², and the response time is 0.02 ms.

NEC was probably the OEM for the alienware setup, looks like they got tired of waiting for alienware to pimp the hardware so now they are "going direct" and unveiling it themselves.

Aside from the lousy height of only 900 pixels and what must be a noticeable refresh rate for something that wide.

The mirrors in those DLP chips can flip at something ludicrous like 44kHz (yes, as in thousands of Hz), if this crazy widescreen has a perceptible refresh rate then it will be due to something other than its hardware capabilities.

Funny, he says it is a "seamless curve", but the seams are blatently obvious while the guy is playing Crisis in the last 10 seconds of the video.

I noticed that too. I think I'll stick with flat LCD monitors.

I also don't see how a 900 pixel height would be bad for gaming, if anything it would be a godsend as any 16:10 resolution higher than that doubled up (say if it were 3840x1200) would really start ballooning the pixel pushing power required to drive the monitor.
