Alienware had some of their latest gear on display with the Dell booth at CES 2008. The product getting the most buzz and attention at the Alienware booth was the “Alienware Curved Display” pictured below.

According to Alienware, this display is the equivalent of two 24 inch monitors. It has a native resolution of 2880 x 900 (double WXGA+) and is based on DLP rear projection technology. Response time is less than 0.02 ms and it’s basically the first of it’s kind. No word on price but Alienware will release it late this year. Enjoy the pics!

Sony announced yesterday that they would be exiting the rear-projection television business and would focus instead on two technologies - liquid crystal display (LCD) and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technologies for the flat TV market. The company plans to stop production of rear-projection TVs at three plants in Japan and overseas in February.

Sony’s withdrawal from the business follows the withdrawal of Seiko Epson and Hitachi (from the North American market). Demand for rear projection systems have dissipated in recent years as LCD displays have gotten larger and cheaper.
