B&H has the curved version listed (but not in stock) for $1299. If that turns out to be the selling price, I'm not exactly sure that minor curvature will be worth a 53% price premium compared to the deal we got here. That's a $450 premium...a couple of hundred I could probably swallow, but I guess they are betting that people will Ooh and Aah and have to have it because it's new and different.
LateralusWell, when the 34UM95 was originally announced, it was on sites for $1500. It still shows up on sites for pretty close to $1299, so I'm not putting much stock in that number or the eBay $1499 price tag kevinrivers found.
