[MaTchBoOkPoEt]

5grand...hmm... no life nerds will buy ..no women=profit

[guyverman]

@MaTchBoOkPoEt look, nerd or not, if they can afford a 5,000$ screen, they aint gonna have trouble with women.

[BurntRevenge]

sooo... when does the one without lines going down the screen come out

/sarcasm

[ewald1991]

he says that it gets a 90degree field of view, but for the screens to be all around you, in a perfect circle you need more than 4

[GhillesInTheMist117]

imagine all of these just put 4 of em around you put on a video and get on an office chair and just spin till you drop

[pater429]

gee i wonder what the current price is....must be something with 3 zeros

[OtherVincentLee]

4 and 5 thousand, more like retail $7999

[DeadBikesCorp]

i prefer eye finity

[Gundam00Raiser75]

xanZion why da fuck dont u shut the fuck up...u cant make an alienware desktop PC with 800 bucks piece of shit ass mother fucker why dont ya learn something

[thebizzlehimself]

You're right. You can't but you could make a computer just as good as an Alienware for that.

[xanZion1]

@Gundam00Raiser75 I probably should not reply to this because of how poor your English was, as well as the age of this comment being a year old; But, I will anyway because of the sole fact that your comment was directed towards me. You can build something BETTER than an Alienware Desktop for $800 OR LESS. Once you know, You Newegg.

[osbert]

crap resolution.

[thebizzlehimself]

It's only a matter of time before another company makes a better one with a higher resolution and 3D capability :)

[speedaddict2008]

I wonder how many of those can form a 360° setup...

[abhijithcr]

@speedaddict2008 4 of em :)

[warlockboyburns]

@speedaddict2008 he said they're 90 degrees so that's 4

[v8supercarstv]

Still rather have 2 screens.

[uredrum23]

when can u get one of them?

[youpube1011]

dont like it i feel like its going to give me a KILLER headache!

[random123mit]

i Have it!!!

[Max16032]

Seeing porn in that thing would be Awesome O.O

[agony298]

and thats probably why you dont have a girlfreind

[sauloalverne]

LoL! One doesn't exclude the other! I love porn too! The girlfriend isn't there 24h... but the porn is always nearby

[Airsofter1995]

Its really cool but it could be bigger :/

[GamePro0012]

There is no way in hell that an $800 PC is going to outperform an Alienware computer. I see no videos on your channel showing any proof of that. You're just making it up so that you can get more channel views, aren't you. FUCK OFF!

[xanZion1]

Obviously you don't know computers. I Have been building PC's since before Alienware existed. Alienware is an over-hyped custom PC that used to use ASUS Motherboards. Something you can buy off the shelf. All Alienware does is overclock slightly everything and fine tune shit. Something any avid PC building specialist can do with $800. Were talking desktop's here. An Alienware laptop on the otherhand is quite a feat ;)

[jordsoo1]

@xanZion1 That's not necessarily true. You can build an Alienware laptop pc cheaper than what they sell as well, there's nothing that special about them, it's just a huge hassle to find all the parts usually.

[jordsoo1]

@xanZion1 Or "Alienware" I should say considering a custom built laptop doesn't make it an Alienware laptop xD.

[Maclolp]

@xanZion1 Thank you, for saying what I think.

[Chingobongo]

whats the pize

[Kl4pp5tuhl]

The said something about ~4000 bucks @ 1:23

Which is freaking expensive! They better switch from monitor to TFT, or no one's going to touch this!

[lazzer408]

"It feels totally natural" If my car responded that slow I'd be dead.

[patryck2027]

What's the name of the medical program running?

[Kizracer94]

true the human eye does have great difficulty with noticing 20, anyway strange your comment got marked as spam, and watching videos would be kinda crap on it too.:)

[therevengeofsaladboy]

Yeah and If your using this for lets say gaming, your computer has a 'ping' of about 12ms processing time so anything under that isn't going to matter anyway, especially running at 60hz..

It was only marked as spam because it was an Alienware product, which is a religion to some people.

And yeah you would only be able to watch videos in the field of view, which I imagine is very bad.

[yourholyman]

You guys are crazy. With the current crappy economy, you still have cash to blow. Good for you because I am spending it on bitches, just joking.

[alorumin]

i am so gonna get this when it come sout !

[wwesuxknob]

so fucking cool getting 1 soon as i comes out unless its over £2000 but it probly wont be since its dlp

[362737]

ALIENWARE IS AWESOME ! ! !

[FishingFanboy]

Not after DELL bought them.

[lazzer408]

It's just a computer dude. Relax. Their nothing special unless your a consumer whore who's technically ignorant.

[deadcurse13]

AM SO GETTING ONE

[beobond]

i couldnt play on one of those, hard to see everything i think

[Xillionous]

Lol, How?

[pakkinen]

I want one!!

[dwindeyer]

The seamless display is created with 3 DLP images sources (left, middle, right).

The images overlap and normally this would create bright spots, but software is used to dim the spots so they are the same brightness. Unfortunately since brightness depends on angle, you get certain parts where the brightness differs per view (the slices you see).

It shows up on camera _alot_ more than in person, just like taking a picture of an LCD screen shows dark edges but you hardly see them with your eyes.

[biggy887766]

.02 millisecond response is crazy talk XD

[RalenSanis]

2ms respond time is now the norm... I have 5ms response time screen .. and I can clearly see the ghosting

[eskimo810]

it's .2ms, not 2ms

[leachrode]

I saw the advert for this a while back,d oes anyone know when they're going to be released?

[mikeismad61]

ooooo, i so want one ^^

[Vicinalace]

2880 is overkill! total overkill!

[gomemdesoto]

"2880 is overkill! total overkill!"

Once upon a time when the norm was 640 by 480. 800 by 600 was considered overkill. And a lot of games at the time only used 320 by 240 on PCs.

The more pixels one has, the more realistic things become.

[fallbackpure]

wow, wonder what res that runs at?

[wilsonacerSC]

damn now I know where microsoft got that screen from for their windows 7 demo

me want

[metardedgeneyassjr]

Witch one is Windows 7 again is it Windows Vista or Windows Vienna that will be next in line?

Sorry I forgot. =(

[7hom]

Vista is available now... Vienna is the code name for Windows version 7. Windows 7 will be done from scratch, it's gonna be an important step up.

[spitalul2bad]

you can see the different panels... maybe if they made it better I would actually buy it.

[nuclearnet80]

really dont see whats so good about this. it looks like it would be really anoying to use.

[silacius]

Oh yeah, I see. If you closely you can notice the screen is split up by 4 panels. You can tell by the slight colour & light change between them.

[hobostreet123]

this is a protoype, alienware and nec probably will make it beter so u cant see the 4 panels.

[GodYourHardTuber]

Maybe good for gaming but imagine dragging your mouse all the way across that screen?

Plus it looks dodgey cause most FPS' main characters are sort of at the side of the screen aiming towards the centre and at 1:11 it just looks like the character is aiming directly sideways.

[mikkess]

at 1:11 he's hes running thats why its aimed down

[xnachowarriorx]

you could just tear apart your lcd screens and make your own "box" for them out of some thin aluminum and acrylic so there are no bezles...but there would prolly still be an annoying line int he middle to save money... but i still just creamed my pants a little. :-p

[niniodeoz]

this screen is soo sexy :P

i love it XD...

[hamsteralliance]

The 3 vertical lines on the display where the 4 panels connect would probably be annoying. I mean, it's better than having dual monitors with the monitor bezel being in the way but a monitor like this won't be worth purchasing until they figure out how to smooth out those hard transitions between the panels.

For now I'll stick with my 30" Samsung LCDs. :)

[mrpigfeed]

......

there arent lines....

what are you talking about?

[Da702Force]

can you not see it. look towards the center of the screen. it is much brighter and you can see lines near it.

[hamsteralliance]

Look at 00:57, where he's in the race car. Look at just to the right of the players arm in game.

The dash is two separate shades of gray there, because that's where the panels come together. The curved screen IS made of 4 distinct panels. Just look at the brightness difference between the panels.

[hamsteralliance]

Look again at 1:10 when they're playing Crysis. You can count the 4 separate panels by the 4 horizontal lines. They're NOT seamless. Honestly, no bullshit. :)

[Trikevion]

It a Prototype! Remember?

[Skott62]

The average gamer wont see those on his/her desk for many years to come.

[Iglum]

this is way betten ten my dual 19inc lcds

[VictorrMusic]

guild wars is better

[IpodLessons]

omg...

world of warcraft would OWN on that screen...

you could run like 4 FULL lcd windows open at once!

[t3tsubo]

thankyou, much better than the engadget video
