1.The EVGA Interview™ Display

2.NEC Curved Monitor

3.iView (experimental)

 

1.The EVGA Interview™ Display is redefining today’s face to face business interaction. With two displays capable of 1440×900 resolution, along with a 1.3 megapixel webcam and three port USB Hub, the EVGA Interview™ Dual Monitor System is not just another display.

 

The innovation does not stop there however. Both displays are capable of being rotated independently vertically and horizontally. When the display is flipped 180 degrees vertically, the screen intelligently flips so you can effectively share documents, images, and files with ease. This is the ideal monitor for anyone and everyone who communicates face to face.

Now when sharing information with friends, colleagues or employees, never again will you need to worry about poor viewing angles, knocking over items on your desk as you attempt to rotate your existing display or huddling around a single monitor. The displays rotate smoothly, and auto-flip the image without interruptions, even outside of the operating system!

 

Of course more displays mean more desktop space, and more desktop space means improved productivity. The two 1440×900 resolution displays can be set up as a clone (same image on both), or a span (extended desktop mode) with a supported graphics card. The revolutionary EVGA Interview™ Display will change the way you interact on a daily basis!

Graphics and multimedia analyst, Dr. Jon Peddie of Jon Peddie Research did a multi-monitor usage study and found an increase in productivity from 50 percent or more. “EVGA now enables in a single system what used to be called a ‘partners’ desk, traditionally facilitating teamwork between two executives while facing each other. Now users can flip the EVGA monitor over and both see the same thing. Doctors can use it in a patient-doctor relationship for reviewing X-rays with patients, teachers can use it for one-on-one tutoring, engineers can use it where they want to have a collaborative discussion on a design…and you can use it yourself for having more screen real estate because the more you can see - the more you can do.”

2.NEC Curved Monitor

NEC was showing off their curved monitor model CRVD-42DWX+ at CES 2008. It’s a 42-inch 2880×900 resolution 32:10 aspect-ratio 10000:1 contrast-ratio LED-backlit DLP display with a 0.02ms response time – great for 3-D gaming and widescreen & immersive apps. Same (?) as the Alienware Curved display also seen at CES…it’s made by the same folks, namely little-known ODM Ostendo Technologies Inc.

CRVD Technology
CRVD. Pronounced “curved.”

CRVD is Ostendo’s revolutionary new scalable technology that allows us to build curved-screen displays that offer unparalleled performance and immersion. The CRVD’s smooth curvature along with its vivid LED colors and blazing fast response time draw the user in and create an experience unlike that of any other monitor.

 

Vivid LED colors.

The CRVD uses the latest LED technology to deliver bright, accurate colors that are excellent for graphics and video work, or just to impress.
Blazing fast.

 

The CRVD has a blistering fast response time of less than .02 milliseconds, so there’s no ghosting in moving images and animation.
No special hardware needed.

CRVD displays work with existing graphics cards and games, so there is no need for special hardware or software. Check the compatibility list for further details.

The CRVD’s seamless curved screen engages 75% of the Human Visual System (HVS) peripheral vision, creating an unmatched immersive viewing experience. Whether it’s work or play, prepare to be engrossed.
Be more productive.

Curved screens offer additional productivity benefits above and beyond what flat monitors can offer. Research has shown that screen curvature increases productivity and reduces frustration when compared to multiple flat monitors.1
Improved ergonomics.

In multi-monitor usage, eye strain is often experienced because the focal distance varies across the displays. The CRVD eliminates eye fatigue because the screen is curved and the user’s focal distance remains constant across the screen.

With its roomy 2880-by-900 resolution, the CRVD will expand your desktop and give you extra space to be more productive. In fact, research has shown that wide desktops improve productivity more than 30% compared to a single monitor.2
See what you’ve been missing.

The CRVD’s ultra-wide 32:10 aspect ratio is 180% wider than 16:9 displays and 240% wider than 4:3, letting you see more of what’s important.

Like having two monitors in one.

The CRVD has all the benefits of multiple monitors without all the hassles. Say goodbye to disjointed desktops, split windows, multiple input cables, and that unsightly gap between monitors.

3.iVIEW

 

The iView curved monitor, designed by Nuno Teixeira, is both compelling and definitely not post-iconic…a kind of stretched and curved double iMac all-in-one desktop computer.

The LCD iView, as it’s officially called, is unfortunately just a concept and so not many details are available. The iView has a curved panoramic double LCD screen on the front and a smaller one on the back to benefit your colleagues. It has two video cameras, one in front & the other at the back with which to monitor those self same ‘colleagues’. Bluetooth also.

 

…nicely done…the iView dates to Feb 2007 & was perhaps the inspiration for the NEC/Alienware curved monitors that cropped up in CES 2008.

iView – from Nuno Teixeira’s Portfolio on Behance

—Concept year: 2/2007
The next step in LCD for professionals “the LCD iView” the first screen with two distinctive characteristics: a double panoramic screen with a unique curvature accompanying the natural eye curvature and movement.

Eliminate the use of two screens to achieve a larger work area. The use of dual screen, strategically put together side by side, originates areas where the visibility is hindered, not only by the proximity, but by the high perspective created by the curve-free plans, as well. With the iView you will get no undesired reflections, remarkably increased working flow and with the presence of all the commands and working plans in one big area, you can now drag them around or zoom them in or out, without any of the usual unnecessary physical interruptions or adjustments.

Get “another” view of you project. The large double screen iView comprises in its back another practical innovation - an extra LCD - extremely useful for both colleges and assistants. It allows them to follow your work in progress, without any effort, which instantly increases the creative exchange.

Wireless, it only uses electric cable

Two web-cams, one at the front and another at the back.
