10240x3072 resolution (really!!)

If you thought 1600x1200 was a high resolution, think again!

"It's amazing how much more fun games are when you can play them on really large, high-resolution screens. Our lab also has a 24 monitor display wall, and as you can see from the pictures below, I got Quake 3 running on it. The system is driven by 12 linux servers (2 monitors per server) using Distributed Multihead X (DMX) and Chromium. Chromium distributes the OpenGL rendering from the head node to all of the servers. The game runs fairly fast, though some lighting effects had to be turned off and Chromium is having some trouble with the mouse. Even so, playing the game is an awesome experience"

Would be great if they used monitors without a coloured edge as the edges on their setup are way too big.

The screens curve too much, hardly ideal for 1st person shooters - you'd be looking around loads

They should have just used a single projector. I mean, on one hand the projector isnt going to be giving 10kx3k, but at the same time, its hardly like the textures and so are in a high enough resolution to accomadate that 10kx3k resolution anyway.
