Would one super-large monitor ever be as good as multiple monitors?
How much price-pain is tolerable??

Saw this today NEC CRV43, due in the US 'in July':

"NEC's 43 in., 31:10 curved monitor commands $8,000 price tag"

- 2880 by 900 pixel resolution
- 200 nits brightness rating,
- 10,000:1 contrast,
- 0.02ms response time,
- covers 99.3 percent of Adobe’s RGB color gamut,
- and USB 2.0 jack and DVI-D and HDMI 1.3 connectors.
- 32:10 aspect ratio

"provides an excitingly immersive viewing experience"
