    It would be hard as hell to see unless your really close to it I think. Probably would make me have eye strain by nights end.

    Grr they removed them! Will fix in a sec

    edit: they pulled the big pics from their site. You can look at the little ones or i put a smaller one up at the top.

    Guess the pics arent too important anyways, its the features that are.

    It has approx. 3% more space than a WUXGA monitor . . . hmm. If it had more vertical res I'd consider it. Not quite ready to give up my 24" 1920x1200 yet . . .

    If you're waiting for the next great thing in screens, check out OLED/laser. I saw a demo from I forget which maker but the whole screen was literally just a couple mm thick, with great color and no noticeable ghosting.

    Some of the display port monitors are OMG thin but will be OMG expensive.

    I think the next best thing is SED, again too expensive though. I think OLED will hit mainstream and be affordable first.

    I could definitely dig that monitor, I could use something that would let me have a ton of console windows open at the same time. Any word on availability state side?

    Looks decent and the price is not all that bad, especially for the screen size. i might have to check it out when it is released.
