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.
Interesting
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.

Guys, PLEASE DIM THE LIGHTS next time for a monitor like this
forreal. its still a projector, room brightness has huge contrast impact
I'd just turn the lights off completely while playing
man, at least they did not drop it!
This so much... it is trying its hardest, lights off or darken the set for truer experience.
A friend just lent me his 1080p, led projector. First thing I did was play some games on it. It's actually not bad, since it's 60hz and you can get away with turning all anti-aliasing off.
Its just nice to see that Linus never lost his excitement and his passion about technology...after all those years and all this success!
If i were him id never have lost passion about technology you know since you make money out of it there's literally nothing blocking you out of what you love
@Best Rare exactly if I had the talent and funds I'd be doing this all day as well. Although imo Linus does it best along with his big friend I forget his name now. But honestly I haven't found other channels that explain as well as him, he's so natural with it is what helps

Multi-projector displays are common in simulation. Tuning usually consists of boresighting, brightness matching, red/green/blue matching, keystone, and edge blending (overlap area gets twice (ish) as much light).

🦋 Simply change the aspect ratio on a jumbo flat screen to match this old screen. That’s what I’ve been doing for years. Better quality too. Large Curved extra wide screens are also avaible since 2020.
if it's making weird noises, you might want to check for leaky capacitors. there was a glut of bad capacitors in 2008 iirc. my Samsung LCD monitor, bought around the same time, is starting to make high pitched noises when it's turned on or switches video modes. i will not be terribly surprised if it dies one of these days.
I had a Philips TV from 2008 that just bit the dust. It would squeal high pitched when it was off/standby.

Since this looks so much like a CRT, this could be a great bread and butter to a sleeper PC.
Edit: when i said the "bread and butter" of a sleeper PC, i meant that it'd be kinda like a cherry on top, a piece de resistance to top off a build. I didn't mean building a sleeper *inside* this monitor. Although, as difficult as it would be, it would be cool to retrofit a modern ultrawide panel and add RGB that could be switched on and off and a USB hub. Maybe incorporate the LTT logo even
Great idea
Did I ask?
You mean like swap a modern curved panel in and use the excess space behind for a balls to the walls gaming PC? Yeah I'm down...
True but I don't think you could fit a pc inside it except something with the size of a raspberry pi 4. The vast majority of the interior can't be used because of the projectors.

I work at a tech recycling company, last year someone came in with this same monitor that they wanted us to recycle, I proposed that we resell it, (i didn't know anything about it at the time).

I have the same monitor that I bought second-hand. It's my first monitor as I've always had a laptop. And this feels so much better than just using my laptops 15.6in screen.
And I did buy it for the ports and stand. It has all the features you'd need in a monitor but damn is it heavy. I wish it had speaker though for a much cleaner setup.
Budo Bašović that sounded really familiar to what my dads computer monitor had for connections so I looked at it and it turns out it’s actually the same monitor! I scrolled through the OSD menu and found the uptime of it: 42,557 hours! He’s had it since 2011 I think, he got it from work from a shelf full of parts to be recycled offsite
This is the most excited that I've seen Linus in a long time. Like a kid in a candy store.
Linus being so excited is giving me life rn
Same lol
Honestly his reaction is the best part of the vid
If it was a CRT you'd need a forklift to move it.
My old 32" CRT weighed around 15 stone(if you need a comparison, I'd say Linus would be around 11 stone) and took two people to move it any more than a few feet. A monster like that would be literally back breaking if you lifted it like Linus did there.
Live stream teardown, and dropping some delicate expensive part Linus-style.

Yeah, I was going to comment as well. Of course the color changes, it's Windows. They do that on nearly everything.
Fail :D
@@AceWing905 that's basically avoiding the problem instead of solving it.
Well when the color is more pink on one side than the other, the semi-transparent start bar SHOULD be discolored to suit what's behind it since it's semi-transparent.
Turning that off isn't "avoiding the problem" b/c that particular discoloration ISN'T a problem, it's functioning as it should to a degree. You can't note discoloration over space without an expectation of consistent color across the entire space.
6:58 can we all appreciate the classic fix of "off and on again" working
Typical issue with bad capacitors on the secondary power filter. I see it alot on DLP and it would require a couple power cycles to start proper.
Far too many people don’t realize this is a LEGITIMATE troubleshooting step that can resolve issues in many cases.
When your computer malfunctions, and you call the IT Crowed, the first thing their gonna ask you, "Have you turned it off and on again?" But then again the same guys will see a monitor on fire and email the FPD instead of calling 911. :P

Yeah, noticed that too
Linus needs to build and open up his very own museum and call it "Linus Art of Technology history Museum". He would make lots of money from customers.
"display port didn't exist yet" is a strong way to put it. I think a prototype display port existed in 2006 and if im not mistaken by 2008 it was already in the consumer market, if barely.
love to see Linus get his hands on a Surface-conduction Electron Emitter (basically a "modern CRT") screen to play around with

Tech Tip: Do not spend $6000 on this
10 years ago, it cost $500 more.
100th like 💪💪
Also, accounting for inflation since 2009, the original MSRP would now be almost $8000.
WOW THATS A KEEPER DUDE THAT CLASSIC TECH
Very interesting video. Would you consider running a game demo while in a dark room? I'm curious as to how good it might look in a dark room. Thanks.
When I first saw the pic of this beast I was hoping it was some ultra rare CRT unicorn lol
This was my exact thought when I saw it, and immediately wanted to know if it could play Melee.
I thought the same thing from the thumbnail!
@@n16161 thirding that. Thought the speed runners would be going crazy over this shit.
like those old Sony 24" widescreen monitors, oh the good ol days
😂😂 Honestly!
I feel as if this thing could display the entirety of the 1st level of Mario on one screen
video idea
♥️♥️
Hope your having a good day! I am a small youtuber trying to grow as big as PewDiePie and hope to be as successful as him one day. I would really appreciate you subscribing to me ♥️ I
@@SkyWalker-lg9ht nah
A real world application for a change 🤣
I remember this screen from back in the day. Very innovative.
10:36 DVI to HDMI cables are known to wash out colours too, so it might have been a tiny bit better
Linus: "Let's do a livestream tear-down!"
Monitor: "Cool. I was looking forward to turning into a $6000 brick!"
it is already a $6000 brick
@@SaintsPurgatory Yeah but it's a unique, historical and functional brick. Break it and it becomes *just* a brick.
@@microchannelmaster8046 Yeah, as someone who wants to preserve history wherever possible, it hurt me a little to hear he wants to make it a brick.

@@suleymanenesyigitoglu6411 Awesome lol
Haven't seen Linus genuinely impressed by something quite like this, ever 😂
His brain is forcing him to be impressed because of what he paid for it
@@kobebryant1973 stfu
Why not. That thing is made in 2008.
@@michaelriceitsreallymickey422 stfu
would like thath u made a teardown of this crt!
This monitor came out in 2009, was $6,500, and uses 200 watt..Just amazing for an old tech..
Finally, something to play crysis on
Lmao
Flight sim
msfs 2020*
Minecraft rtx is harder to run nowadays
I got a crysis ad lmao
12:05 Linus, the start menu is transparent and lets you see a bit of your background... which is more pink at the left side.
was just about to say that lol
Yep
Start menu? It's the taskbar
Boy, am I glad I'm not the only one here that called Linus out for this.
But his point still stands shut up
Every year i think about to switch my both 24" NEC LCD2470WNX, now they are 14 years old.. the frame outside the screen looks nearly the same size^^
How did you get the hdmi to dvi-d cable to work? i have a good s-ips dvi-d monitor and i have tried every adapter known to man, absolutely no luck at all. Perfect 2nd monitor, with my acer x34p. I have 3 of these monitors from 2012 or something. Would be nice if i could use them as extra monitors.
I feel conflicted about a teardown,
because that often leads to you trying to water cool everything
for example that Red camera.
Please don't water cool this one.
The watercooled red camera did work
No no, this needs to be the world’s first and only water cooled monitor hahaha
Don't forget the RBG lighting
This thing has loud fans. It needs water cooling.
Water cooling is cool
"Why did it come with such a stupid cable?"
I can't think of many video cards in 2008 that had HDMI output yet outside of the ultra-high-priced almost-experimental bracket.
Since it was such an expensive monitor, the intended customer base probably used those kinds of workstations.
My 2005 PC came with an ATI Radeon HD 3450 and it had HDMI on it.
The problem isn't the DVI to HDMI; it is that it is single instead of dual link DVI.
@@guardener HDMI is not able to output dual link DVI signal without active adapter which would have cost a fortune back in 2008 and it still costs $80.
Hey would be a good idea to test monitors vs their claims if meeting certain specs
Since its using 4 different rear projection displays i wonder if it would be possible to do something similar with crt displays
Ive seen someone stick three fw900 displays together pretty seemlessly
3:00
'Even when it's off, the screen's not even black' 😂
read that right as he said it lol
*Laughing AMOLED noises*
That's good. Now cop can't shoot it
I didn't even know monitors like this existed back then. Reminds me of when John Carmack had his 28" 1080p monitor back in 1995..
Linus needs to get his hands on that shit
i feel like this channel is a major contributing factor to the stuck up/snobiness and self entitlement of "tech people" you see on the internet.
5:10
i guess the DVI to HDMI cable is for the Monitor's DVI port . 😜
