Ostendotech CRVD 43″ Curved Display

Displazing

By Ethan Dougherty on August 17, 2010

If the idea of owning a ludicrously big monitor is something you’d consider “luxury” then consider the Ostendotech CRVD Curved Display ($6,500) 100% pure excess. Distinguished by a 43″ diagonal viewing area and 2880×900 resolution, Ostendotech states that the CRVD’s seamless curved screen engages 75% of human peripheral vision, for an unmatched enveloping effect. Thanks to a .02 millisecond response time, it’s also perfectly capable of handling the most demanding games (or one wide-ass spreadsheet for you financial types), and doesn’t require special hardware to function other than a moderately capable graphics cards. For connectivity, the Ostendotech CRVD features DVI, HDMI, and 4 USB ports for powering key peripherals. It’s the least we’d expect considering this puppy costs more than a basic 12 Core Apple Mac Pro or a generous yearly gaming budget. Full specs on this monster are after the jump.
