NEC Also Working on Curved Monitor
Looks like Alienware isn't the only company with a curved monitor in the works. NEC has now announced its own 42" curved display, which will feature a resolution of 2880x900 pixels and a response time of under 0.02ms - pretty much identical to the Alienware specs, although an NEC spokeswoman said the two "have nothing to do with each other." NEC's offering will have a contrast ratio of 10,000:1 and uses LED-backlit DLP rear projection, just like the Alienware one. As you can see, there are clearly visible seams, although these should be gone when the display goes on sale.

Normal 42" DLP monitors would cost over $1,000, and I'm not sure if they use the new LED technology even. And even a standard 40" LCD TV is going to set you back over $500, so adding a curve will probably take it nearer to $2,000 I expect.
Face it a good monitor will last years, while everything else will be updated again and again.
I could see myself using one of these(if I got one)for 5 years or more.
It would make me nauseated!:ohwell:
i don't know it looks pretty f-ing cool to me. I don't suffer from those looking at TV sickness that some people get,
NOTE:Cameras pick up the screen changes better than the naked eye would. Take a pic of your TV, it will not look like when your looking at it at all.
I'm an idiot!
