Samsung's curved monitor

I first saw the picture with the game and thought, "eh, kind of cool."
Then I saw the picture of it with Excel and thought, "Can I justify a $1500 purchase order?"

lol yeah I don't give a fuck about gaming on it, but the work I could get done on that thing..

I'd rather spend the $1500 on an array of 4k monitors...

Would 4k need more processing power from the CPU?

Doesn't really matter with decent modern hardware.
Would be cool for racing games or if someone can figure out how to configure the Ninja Warrior arcade game, that'd be cool.
Resolution's nice. Dunno how I feel about it being curved (gimmick?)

I don't consider it to be a gimmick for a computer monitor, but for a regular TV, yes that would be a joke.
***EDIT***
When most people use 2 or 3 computer monitors, they usally have them lined up in a curved fasion.

Definitely not as nuts as the one in OP, but sorta similar. Really like it. This one has a more subtle curve, and I really can't recommend it enough for day-to-day work. Don't know how it'd fare with gaming from personal experience.

Yeah, that's how everyone here who has multiple monitors arranges them. Our scanning workstation (ten feet away from me) has two that form an slight angle. One unbroken curved screen would be even better.

Nice.
I'd much rather have two of those than one of those ultra-ultra-wides from the OP.
Curved TVs were a gimmick a few years ago, until people realized they only had one decent viewing angle. Makes a little more sense for a monitor.

Hmm, I see. TVs are slowly becoming PCs, and PCs are becoming the new TVs... the fine line between the two is starting to blur. So what makes sense for some may not make sense to others. Just depends on how you use it and how your lifestyle is I guess.
However, the point on the curving of the screen because it's like how people have their dual-screenie set up, I will have to agree with. Much more practical for a monitor in that regard....
.... despite it still feeling a bit gimmicky. lol

For most work tasks, I'd actually rather have multiple monitors, based on how the edge-snap features work in Windows.

Sweet, now to just convince my employer that I need those for all of the Excel work I do
Yes, It is an absolutely practical application for such a piece of hardware...
Numbers as far as the eye can see
edit: Just checked the widest one, it's about 750 or so columns.
I'm seriously wondering why you would keep that much raw data in an Excel sheet (effectively a binary format) rather than in some kind of delimited text file (where that text file can be directly change-logged in an SVN tracker, or something similar).
