"Alienware was showcasing a swank new curved display here at CES, and apparently, the DLP RPTV is a must-have for gamers. Hear this: 0.02-millisecond response time. Need we really say anything more?"

*update*

"Don't get all frothed up quite yet because it's still only a prototype, but this sweet doublewide curved DLP display with OLED illumination from Alienware will reportedly be available in the second half of '08. The curvature of the 2880 x 900 rez screen mimics peripheral vision, and in action the performance seemed pretty flawless to our Crysis-dazzled eyes (official specs report less than .02-millisecond response time). We did notice three faint vertical dividing lines that appeared to indicate four sub-panels making up this screen, but we may be willing to suspend disbelief in exchange for the potential of indulgent wrap-around immersion. There's not even an inkling of an MSRP on this thing yet"

Reads like a variation of the 'modular' DLP approach growing for TV control rooms and trucks--DLP-projection modules that can be electronically blended for one giant wall-size image or dozens of much smaller images (from separate cameras). Believe one DLP module maker for the pro display systems was mentioned, with an control-room-wall image, in a programming forum thread (last 6 months) about NBC's Conan O'brien show. Assume organic light emitting diodes take the place of LEDs currently used in some DLP RPTV models (eliminating the spinning color wheel). But...an authoritative tech description may negate this speculation. :-) -- John
