I would imagine the rep. were probably told not to disclose any pricing for a couple reasons:

- not discourage potential buyers immediatly
- not confirm what so far is more rumor than fact

Personnaly, I wouldn't pay more than about 1000$ for such a display, otherwise, I may as well get 2-3 42in 1080p panels.

Hi again

NEC has a estimated price of $8,000.00.
So I would imagine that the others will probably close to that.

IMO, it's way too much just to have a seamless screen.
Now if it was say $1,500-2,000, maybe, buit not 8k.

Since all 3 have the same tech, it almost has to be the same OEM making the display. Too much patent-type design in that for those 3 not to be the same display. The NEC version has been repeatedly price quoted and it would make no sense if the other 2 weren't in the same price ballpark. It makes for an interesting exercise in prototyping surround-screen tech, but they ignored the current market expectations (us that actually do surround-screen game).

It's short production run bleeding edge technology. They're pretty much coming at it from the wrong angle. From what I understand manufacturing processes for printing out flexible OLED screen technology is starting to mature. I have most of my hopes in that tech, not old rear projection DLP tv technology kludged together with 3 separate DLP projection engines.
