NEC puts the wow into work with its $8000 curved display

I don't see how it's worth it when you can get 3 24" Samsung monitors for $300 each that are 1920x1200, which can be supported with a second graphics card for an additional $200. The only difference is you will have two edges in the screen but well worth putting up with for more than doubling the screen size. Don't believe me then lets compare the cost & screen size.

-CRV43

Cost= $8,000.00

Size =2880x900=2,592,000 with a 43" display

-3 24" Samsung monitors graphics card

Cost= $1,100

Size= 5760x1200=6,912,000 or stacked sideways= 3600x1920=6,912,000 with over 60" of display

Yeah It may no be worth it to you or me now. But if I had the cash I would so get it. Also this is the first release. The prices will come down in the future. Look at the first flat panel monitors when they first came out. Its got to start some where.

I agree with you both: Very cool, but I'll stick with multiple flatscreens for now. Even two is great!
