World's First Curved Display On Sale Boutique Display Manufacture Now Selling 43" Curved Display

Feel The Power of Curved , Ostendo's website tells you when you first
pop in, and yes, its hard not to look in awe at the 43 curved display,
which Ostendo claims is the world's first display to be of such a
design. But at a steep price tag of over $6,000 USD, most of you
probably won't be ordering one this holiday season.
The Ostendo CRVD curved display has an asounting 32:10 aspect ratio,
however, that comes at a price of sort of a bizarre screen resolution of
2880-by-900.
Ostendo's website claims that their display can replace mutli-screen
setups, but unless you're running three monitors at 800-by-600, it seems
like you'd be giving up some screen real estate.
Ostendo makes several claims, one of them saying that the CRVD makes use
of the 'Human Visual System' and your naturalย peripheralย vision. This
could make for some amazing gaming applications, as first-person games
have always lacked the peripheral vision we have in real life (2K Games
experimented with first-person sports games that were generally
unpopular because of the lack of peripheral vision).
Ostendo also says that because your eye focial point is even across the
entire screen, its easier on eye fatigue. Another one of their claims is
that the CRVD will work with all current graphics cards and PC games.
This one might be a bit of a tall tale on their part, as it seems that
some games (BioShock comes to mind) have bugs are certain (usually HD
and widescreen) resolutions. If a game has trouble with 2560 x 1600, I
don't see how it could handle the insane 2880-by-900 with the monster
32:10 aspect ratio.
Despite the (possible) flaws with this bad boy and the outrageous early
adapter's price, thisย monitorย would be awesome for a game of Flight
Simulator X or Mass Effect.
Edit: According to internet reports, this isย apparentlyย the same 43
curved monitor that was going to be sold with the NEC name in July
(originallyย reported by us here) but manufacturer Ostendo is attempting
to sell the monster by themselves.
Edit 2: I orginally reported the CRVD as a LCD display until Erhan from
Ostendo sent in a correction: IT is actually a projection display using
LEDs for the light source. You can find more information on our website
