Is this site real or what? Someone put an awful lot of work for this for it to be a hoax.

Look at the sites layout/inteface its a rip off from Apples website. woaw I like the machines :beam:

[kirupa]

I wonder how many MB's the desktop wallpaper is. I would find working on of those types of monitors a little annoying...too much moving head from one side to another to see what is going on. But that's me though :beam:

[eyeinfinitude]

hahaha yeah, it's like looking both ways before you cross the street. =)

[awligon]

Yeah, that's all well and good, but is the company real or not? It was featured on forbes online and then removed.

[andr.in]

lol.. I can't imagine how it would be to play and online fps game with that...

[reverendflash]

lol!

we used to say that about 17" monitors... you had to move your head from side to side to read a page of text...

a buddy tried to "give" me his 21" CRT... I think it would take up 1/2 of my apt!

[awligon]

ok, lets all get over the monitors.. here's a bigger one

ok, done? can we move on now?

The origional point was to discuss whether or not the company was real.

[eyeinfinitude]

I think those look like real photoshop to me. :sigh:

[andr.in]

lol... imagine a circular screen-like thing around your head... :P

[awligon]

EG, the hardware's real, you can own the one above for a mere $155 G's. Enough about the monitors.

[eilsoe]

hmm, I remember some firm selling modular flatscreen monitors. you could hook them up to form various screen sizes.

like 2x2, 2x3, 5x2 etc...


those were real...

[eilsoe]

darn, EG beat me to it...

Forget those, I want this badboy here.

[eilsoe]

oh d00d! what a find!!

"Fada Radio"

even the name is c00l!!

[kirupa]

Awligon - I would presume the company is real. After all, how difficult can it be to mesh 4 monitors together? :q:

[awligon]

yeah but they were listed on forbes and then taken off because of suspicions, and there's a ton of other things...

http://plex.us/outbursts/liebermann.html

I really don't understand what's going on here. A lot of work went into that site, even if it is a blatent apple rip off.

[RelandR]

didn't see that above link-if it is a hoax-wow

I've seen those monitors b4 under the "cinerama' name and not the liebermann name...

cross checked w/google and there is enough reference to them under the current name and variants to suggest they are very much for real

probably a merge/buy-out/name change somewhere down the line to explain the power behind such a new company (?)

[Coppertop]

Wow. I hope its real, just like every other type that has been posted. The intereactive/holograph ones, the one that surrounds you like a massive helemet, etc.

[Not2Sure]

it looks like the computer from "swordfish" :trout:

Look, the f'ing monitor is real. You can buy one, or ten, or twenty. I'm talking about the company website I listed. It seems to be a hoax that fooled forbes. This is like talking to a wall.:a: :a: :a:

[Marz]

It's interesting... So much anger in this world.... **** that RAP music!

Anyways... Those monitors are rather blah... I wouldn't even want one.. Would take up too much **** space.. I like my two monitors.. gets **** done :)

[awligon]

I give up....

This thread's been...


On that note, I've got this lcd 15" that I like but I've got a big desk and working at 1024 is taking my life so I'm going to buy a couple of used 19" 16x12's and hook it up. Question is, can I just buy an extra cheapo pci video card and then switch to twin view or do I have to have one vid card w/ dual outs?

[Marz]

One vid with dual outs.. LEss hardware support then and faster load times with windows :)

[awligon]

ok, well, I've got a 64mb gForce 2 or somewhere in that neighborhood and a nice flatscreen, so what can I do without giving that stuff up

[Marz]

Umm.. Well... You could gte a seconday vid card that pretty much sucks for probably $0 anywhere... But then if you ever wanted to play games on het monitor r anything for that matter really.. it would suck *** literally.. So.. No use anyways...

But hey.. If alls you wnat is a notepad type interface.. then go for it :-D

[awligon]

Well, I want to set up two 19's to photoshop and cin4d and whatnot. It's even hard to flash on 1024 w/o constantly F'ing your panels. So, would my vid card, a sh_tty one and two monitors set up sxs be alright?

[eyezberg]

my desk...lol
