I could only find it via the link you provided...any search in the steam client didn't find any matches (nthusim).
Voted up from the web :)

Yeah, I was as equally surprised once I powered it on. I've been through more monitors than I care to share, but without a doubt the curved LG was the first monitor I've ever experienced that had bleed and not even a little but a LOT!! I would definitely wait for their next rev if you want to go cur...

I looked around the net and others posted similar bleed issues...so I'm going to say for now it's a model issue. Some speculate it's the bezel and that it is too tight in the corners, which I believe was a similar issue on the non-curved model, 34um95. I love the curved idea and looks and down the r...

Here are some pics of the backlight issue I experienced.
Please note they are taken with an ipad, not a camera...but they still show the backlight issue rather well, which is to say bad!!

So, I returned the LG 34uc97...I just couldn't live with the awful backlight issue in all 4 corners, 3 of the corners were just plain silly. I'm surprised it passed QC before shipping out!! I will post some pics so others can see and be forewarned. If you really want 21:9 and curved, I would wait fo...

I grabbed my wallet and it lost the argument, thus I now have a new 34UC97. I haven't yet had time to walk it through a battery of games, movies and productivity...I hope to do so soon. Since I already have a Dell 29" 2560x1080, I'm familiar with the 21:9 format and all the pluses and minuses. ...

Found a few videos from IFA...unless Dell or LG price it way beyond what I think it will be (1100-1500), I will treat myself for Xmas :rockout:

Initial pricing estimates in Europe seem to be around $1100 euros, so a price under $1500 US seems do-able.

Damn, I missed these 2 announcements over the past few weeks...too damn busy with work, ugh!! LG announced their 34" curved 21:9 display first: https://pcmonitors.info/lg/lg-34uc97-curved-ultrawide-display/ (check out the link to the Korean LG site for more info!!) And then Dell announced their...

Like many of us here, I've been rocking all sorts of multi-monitors and widescreen setups for a long time. My most recent addition was a Dell 21:9. I like it but I've never been a fan of 1080 vertical, it "feels" to confining. The more vertical the better...to me. Sounds like LG listened o...

...No warping software, no blending software. Worked a treat :) Wow, that's impressive no blending software. I assume you could still use Nthusim or Warpalizer to ease the setup?? I'm guessing from the image the rough dimensions are about 4ft x 5ft x 2ft (height x width x depth)...full depth (of th...

I didn't have any good mental examples of first surface mirrors other than what is in a rear projection tv and then I found this!! http://www.cobrasimulation.com/index.php/home Since I have no experience with these mirrors, in the example above is the mirror flat or (I assume) convex. I'm pretty goo...

Thanks Marius and Brad for some info.

Brad, with respect to rear projection, unless I am missing something I would need at least 3ft behind the screens in order to mount the projectors...given that 3ft is roughly the minimum focus distance for the BenQ.

Right??

Thanks Brad... Silly question, by applying 3m rear projection film, are you assuming the projectors will be rear mounted? I don't have the space to rear mount the projectors. I am thinking the 2 projectors will be on arms on top of and in front of the curved screen. I like the plexiscreen idea but I...
