to jest niezwykłe OR coś niezwykłego


Explanation:
Po obejrzeniu kilku stron na których owe "tantalizing plum" występują, doszedłem do wniosku, że może o coś takiego chodzić.
Przejrzałem także scenariusz który obecnie jest przez paniatłumaczony :-) i taki zwrot chyba pasuje do sytuacji.

"The LCD flat-panel computer monitors have been mostly a tantalizing plum being dangled in front of the noses of home computer users. They had sky-high prices."

a "tantalizing plum" to chyba jakaś bardzo egzotyczna odmiana śliwkli???

Explanation:
'tantalizing' znaczy oczywiscie cos fascynujacego, pociagajacego, a wiec egzotycznego, jak owoc, ktory jest dla nas malo dostepny
