We've given Aion: The Tower of Eternity a lot of coverage over the last couple of months but you know a game is going to be big when it appears on TV. After all, just look at the star-studded World of Warcraft adverts which have been doing the rounds around the world for the last year. Now Korean electronics firm LG are using the game to advertise their latest widescreen gaming monitor, the W2363V, and if it doesn't make want to play even more, then it might make you want to buy the monitor.
The rather epic advert features in-game and CG footage and was released on NCsoft's official YouTube Channel last night. Touting the W2363V as the 'secret item' which will enable players to 'beat the game' (a bit of a misnomer for an MMO), the advert is suitably fantastical in feel and score. However there's no information on the monitor's release date or price, only that the advert will be shown worldwide.
Hit the jump to check out the video in all its HD glory and you might want to think about raiding your piggy bank too.

Wasn't Tabula Rasa featured in a bunch of Dell XPS commercials? I know it was in the insert ads in magazines. I think there was a XPS commercial that had it. I can't find it on youtube though.
That game (another NCidiots title) was huge!

Gorgeous monitor. But the little strobe light thingy on the bottom of the monitor in response to sound effects would drive me batty I think...
Hopefully that feature is optional. Seizures anyone?? lol
