    We check out the display that took the 2008 tech world by storm. The Ostendo CRVD 43 was the worlds first curved AND ultra-wide monitor. It’s THICC and awesome and we get to unbox one. Who knew Linus running his mouth would get him a piece of history…… for $6000. Thanks to Vojox for sending us this: / vojoxb & / bullonoob91

    I'm a commercial pilot and the full motion flight simulators we use have this tech. Multiple projections that make it look seamless that are adjusted for each window. You can tell it's not all one screen but it really changed everything as far as flight training goes. I've seen people break down and get the shakes/sweats after being beat on for four hours with engine failures and whatnot.

      I'm a sys admin on the navy p8 simulators. We had a tech that managed to fry one of those projectors. Somehow he got to keep his job (we're civilian contractors). They're definitely not cheap. I think somewhere in the range of $50k each and there's 3 per trainer. Then there's the mylar screen. We had one get damaged and the repair bill just to recoat the screen was around $85k. When you see what they're capable of it all makes sense though. I love managing those trainers because of how insanely complex they are. It's a constant challenge. Plus it's nice to know that if there was ever an emergency situation where I needed to land a 737 I would feel at home in the cockpit. The real magic is what's running to simulate the back of the plane.

I own a few DLPs and they beat most gaming monitors when set up correctly even a 48 OLED we just tried vs the 73 & 82 DLPs we have....... LTT will need to replace Thermal paste and Led/Osram Bulbs and Possibly to be safe look but dont Buy New DMD/CPU chips..... But Bc his Monitor is working on All 4 DLPs that's a Great sign so they just need a deep clean and re paste and calibrate to work right! Linus Might be in for a chock if they do all this!!! Cow}:-o)
