Eyefinity monitors

Now since this is taking off, you you think we'l get some huge 3 monitor hybrid along any time soon .

I don't want to resort to disassembling monitors to remove the bezels

I think samsung(?) are working on bezel-less monitors for use with eyefinity.

No doubt they'll cost a few though..

To be fair bezels arent that much of a problem, have you tried a 3 monitor setup?
You dont even concentrate at the sides tbh.

I'm not really sure there's a point to this. Whats wrong with just having one widescreen monitor? I use two, but only one for gaming. Lets me use the other one for instant messaging and stuff. Even got a server PC attached to that one, and a source change button to switch between pc's. Even if i Had one of those cards, I don't think i'd use it.

A bigger FOV. Simple.
Looks amazing in racing games.

I'm not going to buy into this I was just wondering

ahh now thats 4 monitors which eyefinity does not support - its 4 screens you can see the light bleed

I have 2 22" 1920x1080's, and I can say I hate it playing FPS's, I'd rather have 3 of them, two is annoying as my crosshair renders down the middle.

Well that costs an absolute tonne and the resolution is pathetic, also its more like 2 screens rather than 3

Yeah res wise it is but look at that bleed - its 4 crap screens

Maybe 18"

my 3x22" are bigger than that.

If you've seen other pictures of it before, youll notice it isn't fully curved it is actually more a less just an eyefinity setup with no bezels.

With 3 screens, bezels aren't a problem though..

With 2 screens you want to die.

To be fair, i'd never waste my time with a dual setup.
For desktop space and graphic uses maybe, but not for gaming.

Was out lyin gin the sun before and thought of a good analogy to describe / stop the 'just get a big bad as HD screen, its the same' argument.

For this you will need a friend, a large cardboard box (house moving size) and a trip to Beachy Head.

Sit on the floor and get your friend to put the box over your head. For this you are not allowed to move your head or eyes. Get your oppo to cut a 16:10 hole in the front and look through it. There is your single, normal monitor view. Get him to cut a bigger hole in teh front, hell, even take the front panel off. Guess what, still the same view.

Now, for the eyefinity part. Get him to cut the two sides out of the boxc and hey presto, you can see a hell of a lot more.

if you cant, get yourself out of the box and do what everyone else does normally at Beachy Head. Should reduce the posts on here a bit that way
