I'm in the market for a bigger desk for the home office, too.
I currently have one of those cheapo glass desks[^] - I think it cost me $39 for an L-Shaped small desk - fine and dandy in the old hose - but this house my office is about 5m square - so lots of room for a real desk - so I'm on the lookout of a cheap but large corner desk - where that monitor would just look lovely!
Something like this[^] would be nice !

Camps full of teen angst and lots of sitting around talking... Good times!!

Happy New Year, _Maxxx_,
I wonder if sitting near a curved monitor would have quite strange effects on your visual perception.
Remember that research which showed that people, in a few days, could adapt to wearing prismatic goggles that showed the world upside-down ? And, then those folks, when the goggles were off, had to re-train their vision.
Too bad we Homo Saps didn't evolve independent eye movement and focus as an add-on to stereoscopy !
cheers, Bill

I already have problems with my 27" (oh! err!) when I play FPS games (a rare occasion these days, I admit) I actually get slightly motion sick!
A continuous sweep of monitor could indeed be even worse!
But it looks sooooo coooool!

I remember seeing this on TV years ago (from memory some German chap had done the original work) - there have been a few repeats since.
One thing I have never heard explained is whether they end up seeing upside down, or just adapt to everything.
And I wonder if anyone ever tried it with only one eye...

I would think that few very video cards would actually recognize and support an unusual resolution like that.

And a Happy New Year to you. Last night a (really good Keralan) curry, a few beers, a glass of champagne and one single malt; my head is clear this morning.

How very dare you! I was up and out of the house for 7:30 and went to Mass at Notre Dame before returning in time for tea and meddles!

Congratulations, Mike!
Come to think of it, January 1, 2015 marks an anniversary of sorts for me - I quit smoking 24 years ago.

Congrats to you also.
When I quit drinking I also quit smoking and chasing fat girls.

I never started chasing fat girls.
I always felt there was too much risk I might catch 'em...

I found that if I kept properly medicated I couldn't run very fast so it made the odds better.
