ZitZot: NEC CRV43 – 43″ curved super LCD
NEC’s huge CRV43 LCD display – which offers a gently curving 43-inch 2,880 x 900 resolution panel – has finally got a release date and price, though don’t expect much change from $8k. Intended for graphic designers and command/control users, the CRV43 runs at double-WGXA resolution and connects with a single DVI-D or HDMI 1.3 connector.
Contrast is 10,000:1, while the CRV43 puts out 200 cd/m2 brightness and has a 0.02ms response time. Those wanting this for design work rather than just desk boasting rights will be pleased to hear that it offers 100-percent coverage of sRGB and 99.3-percent coverage of Adobe RGB.

Alienware copy ?
DROOOOOL
Oh my God I want to have sex with that
2,880 x 900 – what the f**k can you do with that lol, it's hardly a HD resolution…. and there are better 42 inch flatscreens with higher contrast ratios that costs half as much, then half again. what a waste of money this is….
Oh Boy……
Would it have killed them to add another 180 lines to move it 2880×1080? I bet that would double sales of that screen.
it kinda look cool so I have to add this to my collection
it actually comes with an extra wide keyboard, mouse and elliptic CDs; it's intended as a psychological help for the fat guy in front of it.
That's one heck of a thing, I tell you.
That looks mighty impressive but the specs don't hold up, how stupid to restrict it to 900px vertical.
nice! i just creamed my pants
Erm…It's curved. Useless! Unless you are an air traffic controller, This is of no use at all. Give me a 42in flat anyday, I would never spend how many £££'s on such equipment.
Rather have this tv >>

43″ on 2,880 x 900? Thanks but no thanks. Not for $8k.
Dude…that is awesome
how much?
oh boy, more zitzot copy/paste
PLAIN OUT R E T A R D I D!
THE SPECS ARE JUST PLAIN OUT; A SHAME!
NOT WORTH A PENNY IN MY EYES!
THE CONCEPT IS SWEET THOUGH.
soon they gonna design a shape of glasses lcd… because thats the way they heading lol…
what a waste. no one's going to buy it because of the resolution output and the price. for a fourth of the price you can get 2 50" lcd 1080p flat screens and just dual montior.
I just ordered 10 of these,
W H Y D I D N ' T Y O U T E L L I T W A S N O G O O D ??
100% Garbage!
lol at asdf, there are some funny people on this site
Btw, 900 pixels is fine since the height of 1080p movies is about 900 pixels!
I want to rape it everywhere possible mby even lick it and other stuff ;(
seriouly, we are here for SOMETHING ELSE…. we can get all the Tech news we want at other Tech sites, or zitzot if we feel like it, but please, after we accepted your shameless money making advertising, now we gotta deal with all these dumb posts trying to promote your new money grabing site…. I loved this site in the beginning as it was the idea of 'pirates of the pirates' everyone should have access to the good stuff, not just the scene, now this place is a money making / grabbing, hole of self advertising and nonsense… please Martin, look at the big picture
noone noticed the 0.02ms? n0obs
that should be 2ms or 0.02s
2ms for that monster is awesome. And I like the idea. Reminds me of Imax. And the resolution is awesome. Too bad the price is rediculous.
Oh my God!!! 43"!!!
Where is the Torrent for this one??!"!!
RS is also welcome!!
love hd

GTA4 would look sweeeeeeeeet on this
Funny how so many people complain about it's price and resolution specs….my guess is those whiners didn't read the explanatory text about this new display, "Intended for graphic designers and command/control users"
This LCD display is just not developed for your fancy games and theatre like wanting to watch widescreen movies.
Just read before you whine…
@32

What the hell is with all the comments from people who quite obviously didn't even read the article.
"Intended for graphic designers and command/control users"
The summary is a little over 7 lines long, how could people miss that?
This would be a perfect replacement for the multiple display setup we have at work..
For $8k we'll make do though!
I am not at all impressed with this. There are still approximately 270 degrees of viewing angle that this thing does not cover. For that kinda money I want a full 360 degree surround monitor. Think about the potentially useful applications! For example when playing a racing game you could look over your shoulder to see the car behind you!…..
Actually scratch that… I want a monitor that is 360 x 360 degrees. Imagine the potentially useful applications! When play an aircraft simulator you could look down and see the floor of the plane or look up and see the buttons and knobs and other sh!t on the roof of the plane…. or look up and see the rotor if it's a helicopter, or look back at the passengers behind you or look over and see your copilot!!!
So to sum up, NEC are going to have to do a lot better to get my money.
Larry i am totally with you mate i used to love rls too .now i just get in here once a month :/// total waste and to think we were once shouting bout Mr.X now look where we at shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit .
Actually it's not lcd, but system made of 4 DLP projectors. That's why the response time is so low. 0,02ms is unreachable for any LCD.
PMSL @ 34.thisisnogood: Nice! What about a 6-axis display? lol
Old news, this thing is huge, and not in a good way.
Its about 25 cm deep, welcome back to the world of the crt.
@ #32
Dude, the apple 30" cini display is for graphics design and stuff too but it can still be used for games and movies. LCD TVs can be used as a PC monitor. Who are you to tell people what this LCD is for? Sure if it had rediculously high refresh rate you may have and argument but it has a 2ms response time. The Apple 30" cini display has a 16ms (!) response time and people still game and watch movies on it. The only huge difference between this and MOST other LCD monitor on the market is the size. That's it. It shouldn't cost 8k. Between three to four grand maybe but eight is rediculous. Two 30" monitors would have a wider resolution both lenght and width and you can get that for 2k. Two 30" Samsungs. Arguably the best 30" monitors on the market.
Know what you're talking about next time before you make as ass of yourself.
@moerty
That's not true. There are LCD monitors with 2ms response time. Samsung has them just to name one.
To add to my previous post with the money saved by buying two 30" monitors over this one one can used the money save to have a custom bezel+mount created to eliminate bezel interference. With that you could buy 3 30" displays for 3k and with the 5k saved have a custom bezel fabricated that shouldn't cost more than a few hundred. Use the rest for a vacation!
i agree with 32 and 33
just whinners that doesnt even read the description, do they know how ard is making the glasses for that screen?
do they even know for what it is?
i found it just funny
if its not 1080 is useless
such nn00bs xD
noobs??
no, L4MMERS !!!
@FreddyC
erhm.. nope, 1080p = 1080 pixels high.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p
Assuming a 16:9 ratio, 1080p = 1920×1080
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Progressive_scan_hdtv.jpg
Too expensive, way too expensive, if you buy this it means you know nothing about screens.
PS. Thx rlslog for sharing this news for us who don't know zitzot
megashares links pleaseee
Sitting in front of that thing for a few hours a day is guaranteed to have you shooting blanks in no time… scary
This site is brought to you for free, none of you pay a goddamn dime to support this site, except for those that donate, so why the hell are you all fussing about posts that this guy does to earn himself a bit of money? Economic times now are hard, you should know that by now, given that this is a pirate site. If prices go up, so does the advertising and the need to make money. Give this site a break and stop your whining otherwise go and start your own release site.
It hasn't got 1080 pixels because it is in a letterbox shape, when you but a blu-ray that is letterbox the picture is only 1920×1080 if you include the black bars. It's like widescreen compared to 4:3, widescreen has 1024 pixels across, 4:3 is only 720.
This telly looks very cool and I think I would get one just so I don't get the black bars when watching a movie, I hate those things. I've got a 42'' telly and it cost 1/8 of what this does, and it's a Samsung plasma, it has a contrast ratio of 10,000:1, it is only 1280×720 but you can get a 1080p telly for alot less than £4,000.
IT'S NOT A TV, IT'S A LCD DISPLAY INTENDED FOR GRAPHIC DESIGNERS AND COMMAND/CONTROL USERS. SERIOUSLY, HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO SKIP YOUR EYES OVER THE FIRST FEW LINES OF TEXT? [/cruise control]
@26 yea lol that was the first thing I noticed. Who is writing this zitzot stuff obviously isn't very technical… which is ironic.
@ 39. Robert, thanks for telling me I'm not right, but all I did was quoting the text from the editor dude, so please read what someone is actually saying before you start flaming your arse off like 75% of the people do here.
Quoting some text from you "Know what you're talking about next time before you make as ass of yourself."
I think that line of text is better suitable for your accusations.
Now please, get your act straight before you start spitting fire into the wrong direction bro.
@40 Robert
Perhaps you've misread the specs – it's actually 0.02 ms response time. Now show me an LCD monitor that can pull that off
.
This monster is most probably targeted precisely for air traffic controllers and real high-level military purposes, though i will doubt about the requirements for the air traffic – a couple of years ago they still didn't allow normal LCDs to substitute radar screens on ship decks, let alone the ATCs in the airports.
As such a niche product, it is a luck we are able to know anything about it. My bet: the series is already sold in advance to a paying customer that simply doesn't give a **** about the price tag. And mind me, i WOULD want a rebate on these
@SirMoMo
Dude, you're telling people to stop whining because the monitor wasn't made for what they want and assumed they didn't read the specs and told them they should probably do so before posting like they were children or something.
Again, doesn't matter what the specs state. People will use it for whatever they want regardless of the specs. Games can scale or have custom resolution profiles created to fit the screen.
And regardless of what it was made for 8k is totally rediculous. I think 3-4k is even too much. Maybe 2k. The resolution is basically 2 19" monitors side by side.
@Fred
You were right. My bad.
Who want to watch movies or tvprograms on a curved TV. This is the most idiotic product i have seen
@ 53. Robert,
Yet again you fail to read what I said.. you told me I am making an ass out of myself. Stop saying crap that isn't the issue here, again you start talking about games…This Display is and wasn't designed to be used for games…geez man. Why can't you just stick with the things that are being said instaid of making your own side of the story here bro. And for what you say about that the resolution is basically two "19 monitors side by side, yea that is true, but this display doesn't have the two monitor gap, and has a curve, so my guess is that those two things are also in the price included? (and I never even mentioned anything about the price, so I am curious why you need use those facts as a response towards me all the time)
Now with that said, you can keep having a go at me to any extend you want, but I really can't see why you would wanna do that unless you fancy making yourself want to look like a horses rear end.
Alas, I'm gonna stop wasting my time responding to your utterly useless posts(for me they are due to the offensive nature)and focus on some newer posts. So please don't expect any replies to you from me on this thread anymore, unless you have something useful and thoughtful to say.
Cheers dude!
"Full HD LCD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1080p", its bigger than the original size.

Convert from Dutch to English.
SirMoMo, again, doesn't matter what it was made for.
Stop being so hung up on the specs. (Which is why I keep stating specs.) The price of 8k is unjustifiable. Not even half. Doesn't matter what it was designed for. At the end of the day it's a monitor that provides in general the same exact functions as most others on the market today. Talk to me about 8k being reasonable when a monitor provides a function that enables users to see the future.
And games can be run on any monitor regardless of what it's made for as long as there's an input.

Cheers.
curved screen is a nice concept and great for simulators, and other things that may require extra wide view(like a view of my lower region), but i havn't seen any software that compensates for the curve, all video outputs are desighned for a flat surface, so when that flat surface gets curved it will look kind of wrong unless they make a driver to take advantage of that feture,
also for real graphics desighn the vertical res is way too low.
8k well if you need it you will pay what ever it takes, or get tow of them one on top of the other and double your virtical size(hopfully bazell to make it one large screen.
6 min in photoshop how it should have been
