Not quite sure what the point is with that kinda size display... you have to sit so far back anyhow your not going to notice much difference to the resolution from a high end projector... which wouldn't have all the distracting bezels.

[OrphanBoy]

I think you can afford any price if you can afford to hang six display port monitors off the back of it

Negative Rroff speaks again

Maybe I would change my feelings towards multi screen setups after a while of using them but the thought of those bezels puts me right off, no question.

The bigest thing to remember here is that it's increasing you field of view, it not just a "big screen", it's doesn't matter how big you project your 1080p image it's not actually showing you anything more.

I have to say I don't particular like the look of the 2 x 3 setup, I would prefer 1 x 3.

I use 2 x 1 at 3840x1080 with my 5870, I hate it, I need a new monitor so I can do 3 way, as games render from the middle, making FPS's stupid as the crosshair splits.

So true!

Might be useful for business work (where you could sit right by the screens and peer at different ones as required) but for gaming it seems pointless.

 

[HEADRAT]

It's not pointless, it's increasing your field of view (peripheral vision)

 

[Martini1991]

3 way monitors would be fine, FPS's would be amazing... You'd have your front, left and right views all rendered.

 

[unknownsock]

well to be fair you dont concenrate on side monitors, it helps but its mainly for more immerrsion.
And the extra FOVs just a massive extra.

Im currently using 3x22" and i would never go back.
Grid has simply become a new game for me.

I have a multi monitor setup on my desk and I hate it for gaming - the bezels really detract from it for me... but horses for courses I guess.

Whereas I love gaming on my projector - tho as I can't easily setup a keyboard and mouse for it its mostly console gaming which isn't really my thing.
