While the trend in PC monitors is to go HD and bigger, Ostendo is offering an alternative direction. The company has just recently released CRVD, a whopping 43-inch monitor that’s — as the name implies — curved. The left and right edges curve towards you, making working with the large screen feel more natural.
Ostendo apparently has taken note of the problem that some users have with very large flat screen monitors — things on the display begin to look skewed the closer they get to the left and right edges. A curved monitor such as this should make for a more enjoyable working experience. Or will it?
43 inches is a size to be reckoned with, but Ostendo’s offering only has a resolution depth of 2880×900 pixels — a bit disappointing for a 43-inch monitor with a 32:10 aspect ratio. Another possible drawback is the price tag — you’ll have to shell out $6,000 before you can have this sitting on your desktop.
If you have the extra money, or if you put extraordinary value on display real estate, or if you’re a hardcore fan of driving games, the Ostendo CRVD might just be what you need. You’ll have to admit though, having all that display space to work with sounds tantalizing.
