I'll be intrigued to hear people's views (no pun intended!) on this.
I'm sure we all agree that games are going to change a lot over the coming years, with a final solution probably being large screen + 3D / holographic (before neural implants / VR).
However, in the here and now, which do you think is going to give a more immersive experience?
1) 22" Monitor + 3DVision = ~£400 for monitor + glasses + £x for the GPU if you don't have one already.
2) Eyefinity + 3 x 24" monitors = ~£750 + GPU (if you don't already own multiple monitors).
I myself am tempted with option 2, adding another 2x 24" Samsungs to my setup and a 5850.
For me personally, they work out about the same price (about £750), since I would need to buy an Nvidia GPU to get 3DVision working.
So which do you think would be more immersive? 22" of 3D or ~72" of 2D?
I'm trying not to be biased, but I feel like I'd be peering into a 3D world through a window, rather than being surrounded and therefore more immersed...
(I suppose alternatives would be a large LCD TV, but the resolution would be a problem, or a projector, but the usual caveats apply there).
