And the fools that keep starting new threads regarding it.
900 pixels high = crap.
This thing would suck even if it were twice as high, because no games were designed to be displayed this way. Virtual reality glasses do a much better job.

It would be a fun monitor to have if anything would support it but since it will be such an obscure item nobody will take their time to develop anything for it.

It wouldn't be so hot if you saw how deep it is.

Actually I would think that would be up to the monitor drivers. Have to say, though, can't see this thing becoming anything more than a novelty item. It looks damn cool, but what real use is it?
Now if it were flat and *x1200, it would rock for people who need so much desktop space that they normally would have a dual monitor setup.

Ehhh. Vertical resolution too low for work (i.e. trading stocks, office apps, etc), and you can only play games on it that support this oddball resolution. I doubt there's a single game out there that natively supports 2880*900, so every game you want to play you have to do some registry or .ini editing.
Not curved, nowhere near as elegant, but at less than 20% of the price of the Alienware, you're better off getting 2 1440*900 displays and using a Matrox Dualhead2Go to trick your videocard into thinking it's powering one large display.
