Well, this monitor is a TN panel and not IPS or PLS. Im hoping its a true 8 bit display and not 6+2 like the current TN Panels, and add the fact that it only has a single DP port conection.. So I hope it looks very vibrant.

Edit: Plus you gotta think of the viewing angles...We haven't yet seen a video report of it to see how bad or good it is. But my guess is 170/170,,maybe

It will prob be two of the new gtx 800 series, maybe dual gk110 card? (keeping fingers crossed)
 
Why the fuck do they make monitors so small -_- . I might've considered this for $300 less and 37-40" ... :-/

There is no way i could sit close to a 37-40 inch monitor, I would get the biggest headache on earth
 
My only gripe is what Mako is talking about, and that is now that we have these great monitors why the fuck aren't there any video cards that can run these things at a decent rate without spending $1200-1400 to do so? It's like running a Ferrari on 12" wheels and makes no damn sense.
 
If this is Q2 release... Maxwell should be Q3/4 and should be good enough. Can't wait!

Yea, two 780Ti or 290x(with a custom cooler ) will do the trick.

Heres a video of it. Not the best viewing angles on the panel itself, but hey..its 1440p/120hz/Gggggggg...Sync
