I don't think its feasible (financially I should suspect) to create a single monitor of that size that would have the requisite resolution.
Although you could argue that it isn't feasible to afford that many smaller monitors - but I suspect it is a different order of magnitude on the "i can't afford that" scale.

Really surprised they are still going.
I remember buying a 4MB Matrox Millenium and running the demo and being totally gob smacked by the performance. How things change. A good company that seemed to loose the plot.

I'm second,

Hey, look I learnt something new. Thanks Chapparel, I didn't know such a feature existed.

Fair enough, but I don't see what's wrong with using a 60" 1080p tv or projector if you really need to play on a screen that size. Ok you lose out on a bit of resolution but playing with all those black frames would drive me nuts.

Surely with all these vids and information of eyefinity the NDA must be up
He doesn't mean 'size' in terms of how large the screen is, he means in terms of image format.
3 widescreen monitors working as one makes for a very wide display, which to me is more pleasing than a 16:9 TV/monitor.
You see a lot more peripheral image, ie, extreme rights and lefts, more like what people actually see.
When you think about it, the view you see in games is rather narrow and completely unlike how we see as humans.
It depends entirely on the game. 6 monitors will be great for flight simulators. 3 would suit racing games and FPS too for immersion in the games. The resolution support of the Matrox TH2G has put me off it twice now (once for the analogue and again for the digital version with slightly higher support). This will be ideal for me if I can persuade myself to part with the cash that is!
NDA till launch?

Today was just about talking about Eyefinity. We won't be hearing much about the actual graphics cards till later this month:
Anandtech: Beginnings of the Holodeck: AMD's DX11 GPU, Eyefinity and 6 Display Outputs

ahh i get the point of it now, I didn't pick up on that looking at the screen shots...the image looked flat.
I guess it would be a good to use something like this for racing games.Atleast you could pretend the black bits are the like the frame of the car

I think the NDA that was up today was the one for the details of eyefinity, and the NDA for the card still stands until the 23rd (or whatever the actual launch date is).
