But I agree, curved monitors should be awesome. There are already prototypes beeing made.

I have a monitor turned to portrait orientation that I use for programming, but having only 1080 pixels horizontally would be painful. I'd be really nice though if they made 21:9 with a 1440 vertical resolution, as was mentioned earlier in the thread, that would be a dream to program on in portrait mode. For Eyefinity gaming I'd want at least 32:9 or 32:10 though.

Here's where you went wrong:

And 2560x1440 resolution is still 16:9

I can almost guarantee there will be a price premium on these monitors, so it may be more economical to buy a 30" and run it in a letterboxed custom resolution. That's the point lordikon was making.

Who will buy a 2560x1440 monitor to reduce the vertical size of it? Native resolution... Yes yes, more economical

Price Premium ?

Don't get to excited just yet though - LG has yet to announce pricing, and we'll have to wait until January before we'll be able to sit one on our desk. If the company's professional grade 27in WQHD screen is any indication, you can expect to pay at least $700. Even with that in mind, we still want one.
