Probably the most impressive feature of this behemoth is it survived shipping for all those years.

[imanijones]

You should make a 2008 maximum dream build based around that monitor! I feel like it's just too neat to not be used for something =P

[Leonsimages]

"the world's first *curved* desktop monitor..."

Well, we had curved monitors before that, they were just curved in the other direction...

[TheBeardowns]

I'm a commercial pilot and the full motion flight simulators we use have this tech. Multiple projections that make it look seamless that are adjusted for each window. You can tell it's not all one screen but it really changed everything as far as flight training goes. I've seen people break down and get the shakes/sweats after being beat on for four hours with engine failures and whatnot.

Since this looks so much like a CRT, this could be a great bread and butter to a sleeper PC.
Edit: when i said the "bread and butter" of a sleeper PC, i meant that it'd be kinda like a cherry on top, a piece de resistance to top off a build. I didn't mean building a sleeper *inside* this monitor. Although, as difficult as it would be, it would be cool to retrofit a modern ultrawide panel and add RGB that could be switched on and off and a USB hub. Maybe incorporate the LTT logo even

This thing looks like something out of a hacker's basement in an action movie from 2004.

[DerfLlennod]

I can see at least 4 videos with this:
1) this video
2) breakdown
3) watercool overclocked
4) RGB THE *user friendly content* OUT OF THIS!

Whoever brought this to their LAN party back in 08' was probably a legend.

I work at a tech recycling company, last year someone came in with this same monitor that they wanted us to recycle, I proposed that we resell it, (i didn't know anything about it at the time). We ended up selling it to this old tech guy for his "collection". So the first curved wide monitor is somewhere in Central Wisconsin.

[Shawn_White]

2008 amazed by how wide it is, 2020 amazed by how THICC it is.

[ToadyEN]

Does it have a vesa mount? I need something to mount my wall to.

[TheEscape]

Its just nice to see that Linus never lost his excitement and his passion about technology...after all those years and all this success!

[ahmedakkari]

Now about color accuracy: 12:00 that's actually the background picture affecting windows task bar with Transparency effect turned on.

[luciengrondin]

9:00 "the thickness of this display led people to believe that it was a CRT display."

It still does.

return of CRT monitors when ?

[morgan]

Spends $6000 on a piece of tech that he can tear
All the proof I need that this is Linus and not deepfake

[shezmu]

I couldn't imagine how mind blowing this must have been when it was first shown off, literally a decade ahead of it's time using some incredibly innovative ways to work around the limitations of the time.

How to increase my fov ingame?

Google: go to game settings.

*_Bing_* :

[guilhermemartins]

I LOVE these "high end technology from 10~20 years ago" videos! Keep em coming!

[mnx-p]

Guys, PLEASE DIM THE LIGHTS next time for a monitor like this

[NoSlow]

I love these types of videos when you show old computer technology. It's actually a great service to document old computer hardware/software. This kind of stuff is so fascinating.
