I will buy this, but I don't like the artwork at all. I like the iconics, but this is cluttered and compacted. The formatting of the image is all over the place, and the details are lost in the confusion. Sometimes less is more. I will just have to live with it. I would have preferred something more like a dynamic tableaux. Is this placeholder art?

Looks great to me. I'm only disappointed Seoni isn't closer to the middle.
My guess is that it isn't placeholder art because they've provided a thumbnail of the entire screen image and not just the standard product image.

At the risk of being the guy who complains a lot. It really freaks me out how the lighting is all coming from different angles on the iconics in that montage....
Not really my fault I guess - it's just the art classes talking.
I'm not going to be looking at that side anyway.
Ultra-high grade book stock? Niiiice.
Hardback cover stock is the only way to do it. I'm so glad Paizo (and WotC before them) followed Green Ronin's example (at least, I think we have Green Ronin to thank; the True20 screen is the first place I saw it). It is one of those things that is so obvious in retrospect, but such a huge improvement.
Bravo!
Answers to questions:
It's a vertical format—4 panels at 8.5" wide x 11" tall (more or less) each.
This is finished artwork.
I don't have a list of exactly which tables are printed here, but Jason personally selected them as the most useful.
Oh no, Vic please say that was a typo. That the panels of this screen of beauty are actually 8.5" tall x 11" wide...
Pretty please?
:(
Boo-urns to vertical alignment!
This would be a sure buy for me, if only it was in landscape format :(
Some of us do like that it's easier to see over a landscape-format screen. But many of us feel that the 34" arc of a vertical 4-panel screen is about right, while the 44" arc of a horizontal screen is just too big.
The real dealbreaker for the horizontal format for us, I think, is that since your books, dice, minis and such usually block the bottom inch or two of the screen, horizontal layout means we'd lose as much as 20 square inches of useful printable area for tables (compared to vertical layout). That's a fair amount of real estate that we can put to good use.
every product I am seeing in this launch makes impresses me more and more...
Best looking GM screen I have seen in a very long time. Maybe I won't have to hide my real screen behind my Planescape one now ;D
You don't say... that's the best-looking GM screen I have ever seen! Wow... I thought I could manage with my old 2E DM's screen, but this is a must buy!

Maybe in the future we can get a landscape screen with some more picturesque art. I've nothing against the iconics, I just always preferred an action scene on the screen. It sends a message to the players: "Should I be just standing around looking cool or should I be battling monsters?"

Play a conjurer. That way you can look cool, while your minions fight the monsters ;-)
