Crysis in 2880 x 900..

Boutique computer maker Alienware is best know for its high-powered, sleek-looking PCs but the Dell subsidiary turned heads at CES Sunday night with a new monitor.

Alienware's curved display (the product has no model name as of yet) was introduced at the Digital Experience press event Sunday night at CES 2008. The display is 42.4 inches wide and 12.6 inches high, and the curvature of the monitor gives gamers a 90-degree view of the on-screen action. The monitor resolution is a whopping 2880 x 900, and Alienware officials said the display features a response time of 0.02 millisecond.

Alienware showed off the new curved display by cranking Crysis on the monitor at full resolution. The PC game looked outstanding at 2880 x 900, especially with some of the gorgeous, widescreen shots of the game's lush island environments. However, we did notice the game's performance suffered from a few lags here and there.

The Alienware curved display is expected to launch sometime in the second half of 2008. The suggested retail price has not yet been determined.

You will also need the new, "not even released yet" 9x series vid card from Nvidia to even get the resolution.

ATI, now AMD, had a 9800 series, not NVidia. Now AMD is calling it 3600xx, or some sorts.
