Ultra Wide IPS for 149

I'm just posting it because I thought it might be a good alternative to the 3 monitor setup.  That being said they are still measuring diagonally, so I'm not sure if the dimensions are large enough to be relevant.

Careful. The way things are going these days...that thing will end up in someone's cab as a digital marquee.
If you can read this, it means Photobucket's money grab ruined my signature photos.

25 is pretty small for ultra-wide.  I guess you could just mount it closer.  :D
I'd make sure it has a VESA mount. EDIT: It has VESA mount, had to click the spec tab instead of the spec section.
Monitor is only 11" tall without stand. (11.30" x 24.00" x 2.20")

I still think the 180 degree wrap around view is more desirable.

You say that like it's a bad thing.  Honestly with the 50 bucks for plexi and the 30-50 bucks to get a marquee properly printed, it's starting to become economically viable.  Spend 100 for a marquee or 140 for a screen with all the marquees.  ;)

Yea, my initial reply was said Tongue-in-cheek. I agree, while maybe not the perfect screen ratio, it's certainly becoming more economically viable by the day.
