It may not be the first curved monitor we've seen, but the Ostendo CRVD sure is the most gorgeous. The 43-inch, 2880 x 900 quad-DLP rear projection could be yours for $6,500. It looks less bulky than last year's Alienware model, but that's probably to do with Ostendo having sexed up the press shots a tad. The military have been buying these up like crazy, apparently, as has a member of Dubai's royal family — well, wouldn't you? Head over the jump, where you can see three of the blighters in action where they really belong: gaming.
43 Inches isn't really that big as 32:10 Aspect, but according to Ostendo's website, it sits around 40 inches wide on a desk, so it's almost as big as my 26- and 21-inch monitors. It also says it has a 0.02ms response time, which is insane. $6500 is quite a lot though, but rear-projector displays are always a lot more money than a LCD or Plasma equivalent. Now, if they did a curved monitor like this, but using those ultra-thin flexible LCD panels, I could see making a flat version of this display, for a lot cheaper.
Discuss.
