Suck it bitch!


Anyway, looked at the reviews online, they are not very good either.  Too many complaints about noise and it running loud.  Beautiful design and picture quality though.

Curved screen, lol


**edit: HP pc, lol

I thought curved was bullshit too, but it turns out to not be so. 

I own both a 30inch monitor a 40 inch 4K and I assure you, the need for curved is very real at the close proximity of computer monitor over 30 inches.

It isn't amazing looking at a 30 and it sure as hell would be way better if my 40 was curved.

Is it a touch screen monitor?

No, but if you're suggesting that you simply move the monitor further away - it is an option, but the point of me having 4k is for space.  If I jack up the fonts and move it further back I have lost most of the benefit of having a larger monitor.

Makes sense. I think I'll stick with a smaller touch screen monitor. If I want to see something on a larger scale, I'll get a high resolution monitor, hang it on the wall and run a HDMI cable from the laptop to it....you know, for watching porn videos! LOL.

I agree. Bu then again, if you're using such a large monitor for screen real estate, you'd probably be better off with more smaller monitors. They can be deployed in such a way as to form a "curve". They would cost much less too.

I currently have two 24inch monitors and a 17 inch deployed vertically. I can easily see myself getting more.

Definitely.  I like a big primary but not having a side monitor sucks.

I bought the 40 to see what it was like but quickly realised I preferred my previous setup.

I went back to it (30 and a 24 by the side) and the power supply to the 30 promptly died.

Back to the 40.. for the moment.

Out of curiousity which model is the 40 inch?

Crossover 404k

Korean monitors. They are getting very popular.

Best display I have ever experienced was oculus dk2 running a virtual desktop.  The resolution wasn't particularly great but it was truly stunning to have this crazy curved display of your regular windows environment in front of you that is absolute massive (the size of it mitigated the resolution issues).  It really gave a tremendous sense of scale and unlike many oculus activities, didn't make you want to vomit. 

As a kicker, you'd turn around in your chair and you'd be basically suspended in space with a giant nebula to look at. 

Apparently preorders start today, sometime - I'm in.
