This looks sweet! Imagine playing a massive battle where your troops are marching beside you. It could be a big hit in the gaming community.

That must be about 36"-48", not going to be cheap methinks.

It says 3-foot (36") wide. The biggest con is the display resolution (2880 x 900), so no 1080p high definition viewing. Users probably wouldn't be getting it for that anyway so not all bad. I'm sure the price tag will be huge since their new 22" crystal LCD monitor is retailing for $1200.

For me it's a fantastic wife that makes triple what I do. Otherwise it is absurd what they charge for 'cutting edge' technology.

Sad part is, the woman Im going to marry next summer is about done with her PhD in botany. Sounds great, but unless she gets into plant DNA nonsense she wont be pulling in a six figure salary, and thus I will be without such toys.

This picture seems to give a better idea of just how large this thing is, and I'm thinking it will be much more than I initially thought.

Did she ever consider taking a second husband?

Anyway, it seems video game is rivalling war in fuelling technology development.

They only charge what people are willing to pay.

Sadly that's the mistake I made (was willing to pay) when I bought my Dell 30". I was simply not interested in reading up on the tech at the time to make an educated decision. Although Dell does make some really nice monitors and demand a small premium (24" is fantastic).
