Arc-shaped 48-inch Alienware monitor with 2880 x 900 pixels

Probably the ultimate gaming monitor (or any other kind of monitor for that matter) is on display at the Alienware stand boasting a 48 inch diagonal and a refresh rate of 0.02 milliseconds.

Such a refresh rate cannot currently be achieved with LCD so the Alienware uber-monitor employs rear-projection technology and this, unfortunately, results in a rather deep back to the device.

The monitor being demonstrated is a prototype but expect the real thing to be available later this year.

    you SURE that refresh rate is 0.02 msec? Because 20 microseconds would be sweet (unnecessary for human vision, but sweet nonetheless)

    Reminds of grocery stores with sales like 10 (somethings) for 0.10¢

    I read somewhere else that this monitor has a few problems where the multiple projection units meet to cover the whole screen, but I’m sure those will be ironed out before release. Now for an in-home 3d imax….

    Why couldn’t they have some sort of LCD cluster thing where the monitor itself splits up the work among controllers for individual stripes of the screen. That way, they would need neither special technology or curved LCDs to produce the effect, just a small videocard-like device.

    Saw the video for this at CES, it’s not really curved, you can see where the montior panels are ‘connected’, even if I had the money to buy this screen I doubt I would.

    who needs a monitor that big, honestly!
