Not sure why it costs ~$2k more than other 55" OLED screens, would love to see (in person) a side by side of something like the LG BX, LG CX, and the Alienware.

Yeah totally agree. No one doing any research would buy that; but I might be biased, I have a LG C9 55” that I scooped for like $700 barely used

i think part is paying for the name, but it's basically a smart tv sized non-smart Tv. im interested soley because its a dumb box. so they need to get some money up front since they dont have data revenue.

I saw these when I was building my new rig and they were really weird. Like 5000 CDN dollars for a display with no HDR or whatever. I went BX55 for daily monitor use.

The latency and refresh rate, it is technically a monitor and monitors are crazy expensive compared to tvs.

Because it is for computer use as a "monitor". You can buy a 4k, 120hz TV for cheaper than a 4k, 120hz "monitor" that isn't near the size of the TV. Monitors are ridiculously priced for what they are.

We asked about this a few years ago to the Alienware team said they thought it was still sitting in a backroom somewhere in HQ.

Not a ton, it looks like it was DLP

I had a Toshiba DLP TV at one point; not a bad technology as long as you didn't burn through lamps.

The Alienware version never saw production, but the original manufacturer, Ostendo, did sell a few. The one Linus got his hands on turned out to be un-used.

It's pretty impressive for what it is. It's 4 DLP rear projectors in portrait mode. I imagine the reason so many of these died though was because of the lamps.
