That doesn't exist.

Until OLED finally becomes "mainstream".

Oh, and just to tease you a bit more, this is a pic of the 21:9 1440 LG monitor showing a 1080p movie, a web browser, utorrent, and spotify along the bottom

Now you can hate me a little more

OLED has it's own set of issues, sure it's great for the first year or two but then you have to suffer burn in and colour fade, not to mention the fact they use more power than LCD when displaying a predominantly white screen makes them poorly suited to a desktop enviroment. We need QD-LCD Displays they are basically the same as OLED but with much longer life and even better power effeciancy. Or for SED screens to make a comeback.

I know about the cons of OLED. It's like a plasma TV but with the added short longetivity.

SED are, so to speak, like the old CRTs but at a small scale, right? I don't think they'll go back with that anymore. I'll read a bit about QD-LCD.

Pfft, I can do that and more across all my monitors. :P

Wonder how bad the fish-eye effect would be with three of those in eyefinity?

Don't be ridiculous! With 3 of those you'll end like this

I guess you could think of SED as a panel where every pixel is made up of a bunch of tiny CRTs. They can be flat panels that use less power than an LCD while preserving the low responce times, high refresh rates, high contrast ratio and viewing angles of CRTs. They were expensive to manufacture tho at the time so the much cheaper LCD tech killed it. QD-LCD is similar to OLED exept it uses cadmium selenide nanocrystals (Quantum dot) of varying sizes instead of an Organic semiconductor.

"Self-propelling machines" officially come to Minecraft via modder-made sticky slime block

Sticky pistons are the building blocks of redstone construction in Minecraft - the glue that holds together secret entrances and deadly trapdoors alike. Their possibilities and limitations have been well-documented by the game’s community - until now. The addition of new sticky slime blocks yesterday enables the movement of large connected structures - including “self-propelling” contraptions for the particularly inventive.

Riot on League of Legends' cancelled Magma Chamber: one does not simply create a map

About a year ago, Riot debuted a new map for between two and four players at their 2013 All-Star game; in January, they cancelled it for good. The studio weighed the workload of optimising Magma Chamber for public consumption against public interest, and decided to walk away.

As one Riot staffer now points out: “there’s more to creating a map than simply, well, creating a map”.

Murdered: Soul Suspect trailer tackles the man doing the murdering: the Bell Killer

As the recently deceased detective Ronan O’Connor, you’re responsible for a good half of the haunting going on in the once-sleepy streets of Salem. The other half is well-covered by the Bell Killer - so named because... well, we don’t know. In a move considered deeply unhelpful by local newswriters, this serial killer’s never killed the same way twice.

Perhaps in a Silent Hilly twist, that pointed hood will drop to reveal a church bell in the place of a head. Hopefully not. Rather, this trailer has a relatively grounded Black Dahlia vibe to it.

Dragon Age: Inquisition now at the stage where the "big cuts happen", says Gaider

Dragon Age: Inquisition is a huge game, we’ve been told. Ginormous. But inevitably, it’s about to get a bit smaller. Six months out from a finally-confirmed release date, it’s about to hit alpha - and then the topiary begins.

“This is a pretty stressful time for everyone,” writes BioWare Edmonton chief writerman David Gaider on his blog. “Every cut feels like it’s reducing the overall quality of the game, until there are so many of them you feel like you’re producing a piece of crap - until you remind yourself that every game goes through this, and the alternative is shipping late or not at all.

“It’s not a process that any fan will truly understand.”

40 studios have signed up to work with AMD's performance-boosting Mantle API

Somewhere at AMD there’s a list with 40 game developers on it. We don’t know any of their names, but they’re all dead keen on the idea of bypassing DirectX using an API that whispers directly to your graphics card, for muchos performance gain.

AMD are running a private beta program beginning tomorrow for their Mantle SDK. You’re not invited, but developers of all budgets and sizes are.

ZeniMax Online says sorry with five days of game time for The Elder Scrolls Online players

The Elder Scrolls Online has had a rocky start. Broken quests, a plethora of bugs, gold spammers and black market shenanigans, it’s a bit off-putting. “The Elder Scrolls Online is frustrating. It has moments of sheer class, but they’re consistently tainted by bugs,” said Nick in his review a couple of weeks ago. 

ZeniMax Online says it’s dealing with the problems and that far fewer players are complaining about bugs, though that might just be because a lot of players have fled. The developer wants to thank those that have put up with all this guff by offering five days of extra game time.

Wolfenstein: The New Order system requirements revealed - can you run it?

Bethesda has revealed the system requirements you’ll need to match if you fancy shooting robodogs and 1960s Nazis in Wolfenstein: The New Order. 

It’s an unusual list, with rather low GPU and RAM requirements, but an i7 CPU. Take a gander below to find out if you’ll be able to run the alternate universe shooter.

I read about SED a while ago and the interest for that tech is basically dead. A shame.

About QLED, as far as I've read, it first nned to get rid of cadmium as it is highly toxical. Otherwise it looks very promising.

From the Wolfenstein requirements news:

• 64-bit Windows 7/Windows 8
• Intel Core i7 or equivalent AMD
• 4 GB System RAM
• 50 GB free HDD space
• GeForce 460, ATI Radeon HD 6850
• High Speed Internet Connection
• Steam account and activation required

Bethesda says that these are the requirements "necessary" to run Wolfenstein, suggesting that they are the minimum requirements. The 4GB of RAM and a GeForce 460 or Radeon HD 6850 recommendation reinforces this.

I guess I can't play it, my 5850 is starting to limit me... although I know it basically performs the same as the 6850. But that CPU ... like an i7 4770 is the same as an i7 920, right?
