    [SOLVED] 4K 43" Curved Gaming Monitor

    Groo Oh, of course you are right - my brain failed me when combining the responses. I was really hoping to find a 16:9 display, while that Dell is 21:9. If anyone made an 8K 21:9 format large enough (the current installation of two 40" 16:9 4K displays side-by-side have a diagonal of about...

    [SOLVED] 4K 43" Curved Gaming Monitor

    HTPC/Server ~$2000

    Thanks - I see that the Panasonic P50GT25 3D TV is on the compatible display list for nVidia, so I'll probably recycle an existing HD4770 and do more reading. I'm also waiting for 1155 motherboards to come back in stock; they appear to be trickling in. I don't have a 3D Blu-ray internal drive -...
