30" Monitor?!

I have noticed that Dell has announced a 30" monitor, and some people just thinking about use it for gaming:

Well personally I do think $1199 is too expensive for me, with that budget I can get a tv.

This photo looks nice though:

lol, I like his security cameras above. AKA he never gets out of his chair.

I personally would love a 30" WXQGA monitor. 1080p would be but a window on the massiveness that is the screen.

Dell and Apple were the first to market with the 30" 2560x1600 LCDs a few years back, now dell is on their 2nd or 3rd generation, and samsung, HP, and a few other manufacturers are selling them aswell.

They make great gaming monitors, but you really have to have some serious graphics power to play 2560x1600 on high details, and if if you just need the real estate for desktop use or something other than gaming, then dual 24" LCDs work out cheaper and with more raw pixels to work with - 3840x1200 in extended mode. Not to mention at about $400 each it works out cheaper...hell thats 4x 24s you could get for roughly what a 30" costs ya, and 7680x1200 would make one hell of a panoramic display

30" models remain the premium, but 24"s are much more practical as a single $250 video card is enough to drive most if not all games at 1920x1200 on high, and you have a larger selection of panels. I want a 30" for sure, but I just cant justify the price either

i dunno, if I had 4x24"s I'd probably do a grid, or like that guy above has, not a 4 screen panorama. That'd just be excessive!

not to mention you'd have a black bar dividing two screens dead center. the above picture makes more sense for quad 24 inches.
