I got to see one of these in person yesterday at a customer. It truly is a beautiful bit of hardware and the quality is top notch. But oh my the price. But OTOH if money was no object I could see having one.
I literally, would not know what to do with one of them.
I imagine it would be quite advantageous for a serious FPS gamer. Probably amazing-looking with Civilization VI or other 4x game, but of marginal utility.
People buy even more expensive big-screen TVs for watching American football while guzzling beer with their buddies once a week so I wouldn’t look down on someone forking out the money if they’re actually competing in eSports or something. Heck, competitive mountain bikes start at three times that price.
Ha Ha. I have a 65" QLED TV that I mounted on the wall of my family room which I basically use to watch the news, old grainy movies on Turner or even grainy-er old spaghetti Westerns. There is an occasional Eagles, Phillies or 76ers game too.
Based on my experience with the Surface Studio 2, there’s definitely something immersive and engaging about big displays at close range. I don’t have the space for something this wide, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t thought about it! If money was no object, that is…!
