It would've been better if they had used OLED instead, although it would've been very expensive they don't mind being curved so then it would be smooth rather than 4 angled panels.
It will be over priced anyway so why not.
Good idea though, immersive gaming ftw.

DLP? is that rear-projection? because one website I saw this on says it's a rear projection monitor

Most games don't support widescreen.

That is .. show more of the game. Not the stretch the game.

Looks kinda blury on the pics?? :)but i wouldnt mind having that :)

hardly any other game other than crysis supports such streched resolutions, my 16:10 is bad enough for getting resolution support, dont expect to be doing any native res gaming on that think

Other than that big problem it looks great

And too bad that to run crysis at those resos you would have to have 3 x 8800GTX to have 20fps

Well game support doesn't matter that much because how many people would actually buy one if they move beyond the prototype? It'll be really expensive.

IMHO, its more of just an exercise in showing off what they can do than a practical step in innovation.
