2560 matches the current 27" and 30" display panels...

Which is why it is cheaper to do it close than do it right.

OMG, I want that razer blade thingy. Especially if It can play emulators.

I have a feeling thats about all it will do lol, with a intel atom as the cpu it wont stand up to normal pc games except really old ones, and the gpu is not going to be that great neither.

Im sure when the price is announced if it ever gets produced and sold to public that most people that thought about it will quickly forget about it.

Yeah, Atom really sucks for anything newer than... well, Jedi Knight 2 IMO. Having said that, there are tons of great older games, so if I could get them working, I'd be happy. :)

That Razer Switchblade concept is really cool. I like the idea of the keyboard buttons switching based on the game/app. I am a WoW nerd and a keyboard that does that would be awesome. Hell I would even buy that for my regular computer if I could because I wouldn't have to set up profiles and macros. I could just drag and drop the icons to the keyboard and have it show up.

Optimus Maximus. Look it up.

And be prepared to be horrified at the cost. ;)

I remember a couple years back, before the price was finalized, they said it would cost as much as a "good cell phone." Apparently they meant one of those stainless steel phones with sapphire lenses.

IIRC the cinematic aspect ratio is 2.39:1. Neither their listed aspect ratio nor their resolution is that.

21:9 - 2.33:1
2560x1080 - 2.37:1

So the only way you would get the correct aspect ratio with that display is with non-square pixels. I am guessing the actual aspect ratio of that display is 2.37:1. I would not recommend buying a display from someone who conflates three different aspect ratios, gimmick name or not.

2.37 (64:27 = 43:33)
As of 2010, TVs have been introduced with this aspect ratio and are marketed as "21:9 cinema displays". This aspect ratio is not recognized by storage and transmission standards.

Ug, you're really missing the mark on that. 2.37:1 is so damned close to (depending who you talk to) the proper 2.35:1 or 2.39:1 AR for movies as not to be notable in difference. You are going to really split hairs over the difference between 2.37:1 and 2.39:1 AR? This would be ideal for black-box removed 1920x800 Blu-ray native resolution content in a HTPC environment. 1920x800 would be proper cinema aspect ratio but for a HTPC 2560x1080 makes a lot more sense combined with functional desktop use.

Simple math:
2560/1080=2.37:1 AR
1920x800=2.4:1 AR

See, not even Blu-ray gets the proper AR for movies right.
