New Alienware Prototype Gives Gamers Peripheral Vision
Among the gems to come out of CES is this monster display prototype from Alienware. We hope that the booth attendants laid some towels down on the floor to soak up all of that gamer-drool. Featuring a 2880 x 900 pixel resolution and a ridiculous 0.02ms response time, the display has a wraparound form that enhances viewing by expanding the peripheral range. No, it’s not a flat panel, but this should make potential buyers happy as it will be much more attainable as a rear projection, of course. The set up at CES was displaying the popular first-person shooter Crysis and reportedly doing a stellar job of it. Alienware claims that its curved creation should be commercially available sometime in the second half of the year and pricing info is not yet available. Like the rest of the Alienware lineup, we’re sure that this puppy will be very awesome and very expensive.

The projection televisions I have seen were prone to horrible glare and you can’t see much from the side which would explain why they curved the thing. On top of that the contrast ratio I think would be an issue especially if you have any sunlight in the room at all. Then from what I have seen on projections setup with PC’s is that things like reading text are very troublesome as it just doesn’t have the fine detail. Then it is just bulky.. Maybe they have overcome some of that but I think are better options.. I’m thinking a 52″ Samsung LCD which has VGA Input or HDMI.. I think the quality would be exceptional, smaller form factor and no need to curve the screen as you can see just fine from about anywhere in the room.
so overall i’m not real impressed.. I use a 32″ LCD by samsung with a PC and it is great.

The resolution doesn’t seem that high for that much screen real estate… only 900 pixels vertical… but then the overall pixel count is probably going to tax most vid cards anyway
