I had heard somewhere that they now have the technology to make these screens so thin that they can be wrapped around a pole such as in some
futuristic movie advertisements.
And it was interesting that she mentioned the response time for these displays, because I had noticed how crappy they were that way in the stores. I
suppose this might be because there are several monitors in a series?
I might be wrong, but it seems that the LCD monitors are typically slower?

The curve is what makes it better.  Ideally you would want it to surround you, and even better, a spherical screen all around you. When you view
it, you want all parts of the screen to be equal distance from you eyes. 4k res? heh, its gonna take nothing short of quad-sli to run that monitor.
BTW crysis is an amazing game. I'm running it on a 30" dell, and it is heavenly..

By flat, I think he wishes it was a flat panel, like an LCD. In fact, it is DLP rear-projection screen, so it has some depth to it (looks to be 6
inches or so). As for resolution, it runs at 2880x900, which most graphics cards should be able to handle fine.

haha, I seriously dought that many cards on the market would be able to push games out at that res. But you can only hope.

My 2 year-old NVidia GForce 7800 can drive games at 1920x1200 (which is 2,304,000 pixels). 2880x900 is 2,592,000 pixels (just 12.5% more
than 1920x1200).
