Curved Displays Entice Gamers

Dell’s Alienware’s curved-screen display at CES got a lot of attention.

Now, at Macworld in USA, NEC showed a prototype of a 42-inch, 2880x900-pixel, curved-screen display.

The CRVD-LMD monitor is for professional application where users want an immersive display but don't want their view interrupted by the frames of multiple monitors.

Weighing 11.36 kilos, the curved screen uses a DLP rear-projection system. On the prototype, a dual-link DVI port connects to a computer via a single graphics card, but the final version might use HDMI. In USA, NEC is saying the curved screen should ship by Q4 2008.

Go NEC Displays (but the curved screen is still off the official radar, for now)
