Taken from the Macworld article

NEC Display Solutions of America announced that the 43-inch CRV43 widescreen display would be available in July. The CRV43 has an estimated street price of $7,999.

With a 32 to 10 aspect ratio and a 2,880-by-900 native pixel resolution, the CRV43 is like having a pair of 21-inch widescreen displays side-by-side on your desk. While you’d probably position two displays at an angle, the CRV43 is curved for optimal viewing. Also, the CRV43 is seamless, whereas a pair of displays would have the bezel between the two screens. A NEC representative said the CRV43 uses a "new and unique adaptation" of Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology where four DLP light engines create a single on-screen image.

According to NEC, the CRV43 has a brightness rating of 200 nits, a .02 millisecond response rate, a 10,000 to 1 contrast ratio, and a 12-bit dynamic range. NEC says the display covers 100 percent of the sRGB color gamut, and 99.3 percent of the Adobe RGB gamut.

Connectivity options include single-link DVI-D and HDMI for video. The display will also have four USB 2.0 ports.

The CRV43 measures 41.5-by-20.8-by-15.2 inches and weighs 45.5 pounds. NEC provides a three-year parts and labor warranty, which include the backlight.

NEC showed the CRV43 at last January's Macworld Expo, but did not formally announce a ship date.
 
Yeah NEC say Yada Yada Yada....
I hope the press pan it:lol:
Then its easy not to be tempted by it:lol:
 
I think it was bad enough dealing with curved prints back in the days of the dry to dry wet processor. Just when we thought it was all behind us they hit us with a curved screen.................... its all torture I reckon
 
more I think about why would you want a curved screen. If you showed a full screen portrait for example those cheeks would really be popping :p:p:p

Mind you a fatty laying down would be fun :D:D:D
 
that is one heck of a beast - I couldn't even comprehend using anything that large, I'm still using a 19" monitor and look forward to the day I can move to a 24 or 26
 
How long before you can buy a completely domed screen with touch control that you can stand inside?

Had that idea a while back for my 360º virtual tours :D its a few years off at the moment but half a dozen of these babies might do in the mean time (if i could justify the $8000 each and id need at least 6 of them :thinking:

lovely item though
