Why hello there, I'm fragile and I cost a measly $1536 US.

BUT IT HAS SCREEN KEYS and that still doesn't make it worth more then a fucking gaming rig :colbert:

It may be extravagantly expensive, but it is one beautiful piece of hardware.

If I had enough cash to blow away on stuff I would definitely buy this.

113 OLED screens in total, each with a resolution of 48x48, capable of refreshing at 10 frames per second, at the minimum.

Now that would just be a fucking waste for me, I don't even look at the buttons :v:

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;27544506]Course it's fucking £6000, it's a professional 42" HD editing monitor, a fucking bravia won't work in these places.[/QUOTE]

Aren't newer ones, at higher resolutions, cheaper? The mac screen is IPS right?

It has an OLED screen in every single key, of course it's going to be massively expensive. Not overpriced at all, the technology is just new and expensive to manufacture.

Turn them all off. Or to teach yourself how to touchtype, put a shock image on each individual key.

[QUOTE=Shadaez;27546459]Aren't newer ones, at higher resolutions, cheaper? The mac screen is IPS right?[/QUOTE]

Just because one monitor is IPS doesn't mean it has the same exact picture quality as another monitor which is also IPS. They aren't the same.

I think I'd prefer a blank keyboard.

$6500 per monitor

42'' diagonal, 2880x900 resolution.

I would get one if it was like $500[/QUOTE]

How the hell are they going to mount that stick shift?

I always thought it was kind of funny. I don't know how much is true though.

Also, this doesn't represent my personal opinions. I'm not bashing on macs.

Yes it is, but...
I can't even begin to fathom why you would use one in video editing though. This isn't for videos of your buddies, it's for proofing video. £6000 is nothing to them, thats a small expense they make back in 5 jobs.

They're off on the Radeon 4870's price. They say that you can find new ones for $170, which is $30 less than what Apple is charging. However, they forgot that it's [i]add[/i] $200 dollars, on top of the $150 that the Nvidia card would cost. So $350 for a $170 card. Fucking hell.

How is this dumb? Look at the fucking picture, and read what it says.

btw, that is outdated

Goatse on enter, Clownsong on Space and Meatspin on CTRL. Guaranteed to teach you to touch-type in just a pair of days.

This one time, I managed to get a Mac Pro to cost over £20,000.

[QUOTE=the_grul;27546685][url]http://www.daskeyboard.com/[/url][/QUOTE]

Yep, I want to get one of those whenever I can get money for that.

I agree with everything there but the thing about the double price when having 6 more inches. I've seen it actually does that on other monitors too. The 24" monitor is overpriced though.

[codenamecueball]

and apparently the production costs of a massive monitor are more than one of a small one? Let's not forget not every panel works and they ain't cheap to make

Those things can be dropped off a 10-story building, or take a bullet and still work.[/QUOTE]

I saw one article where one fell out of a medical helicopter. I can't remember if it worked, though I think the hard drive was still fine.

Electrostatic headphones are ungodly expensive.

Sennheiser HE90, $15,000

(Granted those are the most expensive headphones ever made, but es headphones go for $2000+)

Prices are still ridiculous, just checked.

[codenamecueball]

yes, I know. Doesn't stop my friends dad owning 3 of them, all with NEC Spectravision 2390 displays.

Maybe if I could stream porn to every FP user from my computer due to the sheer length of the cable, it would be a somewhat justified price.

Why are those so expensive? I mean, why is it 100 times better than my $150 G35?
