Hmm,
Putting on my party pooping pants...
So I ran the numbers:
A normal 23 in monitor which you can get for about $500 is 1920x1200 which it 2.3 million pixels.
This monitor, taking up twice the desk space and costing 16 times as much is 2880x900 which is 2.6 million pixels.
I seriously do not get it. If the display were 3840x1200 I might "get it" but it's not, not even close. 900 vertical is not usable for anything other than gaming and it's pretty stingy even then. Reading a document with 900 vertical is pretty useless.
For about $1000 you can have a 3840x1200 or 4.6 million pixels of dispay. Ok, with a black bar down the middle, but getting rid of that is not worth 7 grand and almost half the usable "desktop" in any universe imaginable...
