Sure, you can get a HDTV bigger than all those 6 monitors but the resolution would be 1920 x 1200 AT BEST.

Now take 6 x 26" 1920x1200 LCD monitors and you have a HUGE monitor with a resolution of 5760 x 2400/

There is already a bezelless solutions out there, I personally like this setup

The largest screen resolution available today in the public markets is the WQXGA resolution which sports 2560x1600 pixels. The most popular models with this resolution are (no pecuniary order):

* Dell UltraSharp 2008WFP
* LG W3000H
* Samsung SyncMaster 305T/205T+
* HP LP3065
* EIZO FlexScan CG301W/MX300W/SX3031W
* NEC MultiSync/SpectraView LCD3090 QWUXi/WQXi (4 models)
* Apple Cinema Display

If U want one make sure it's an IPS. Nec is probably top-of-their line with their H-IPS screens which has transparent electrodes (= more light and clarity).

I think there are also some special big-screens with even higher resolution made for the aviation industry, stock exchanges, etc. I also believe there are some prototypes/small volume units that features next gen HiDef. I think it is what is also known as Digital IMAX but I'm not sure. If I remember correctly Nec also released a borderless 46" screen which you buy as a set of 4 46" screens that each use standard 720p resolution (NEC MultiSync X461UN - just checked it out). Expensive as hell it is.

This... is.. TERRIBLE! I mean AWESOME! No, I.. mean.. ARGH! This is an awesome technology that just exploded my head except for the fact that I JUST bought a 5000 series card 🙁 Ah well, I'd better start saving for the card and 3 more monitors.. or maybe 6 so they all are alike. Time for a third job!

[citation][nom]user-one[/nom]this is the stupidest thing ive ever seen. why spend 3K on monitors when you can get a HDtv for bigger overall screen size, for MUCH less. gooey, u moron. thats a TOTAL resolution, thats MUCH different than one single resolution.[/citation]

HD TV might be larger, but they don't have anywhere near the desktop space this setup would, considering all 6 monitors can run at full resolution (1920x1200) each, making this 6 monitor setup have over 6 times the resolution of that one bigger HD TV. I would love to have this 5760x2400 resolution can hold ALOT of things

Thank you samsung/amd for making these! I will order them once the Nvidia GF100 comes out...harharhar

This setup will be idea for remote sensing, GIS, CAD, Department of Defense and other Homeland Security work, high resolution satellite imagery analysis and surveillance work will all benefit from this six monitor setup with high frame rate capability.

Another one..... instead of 6 monitors, y not use 6 DLP? no borders... and they can be matched almost seamlessly. The only issue would be find space to display these 6 gigantic projected images... imagine 100 inch per projector...

 

[Leopardos]

Why Would Monitor companies start research on borderless monitors?
Useless ...
You know , u can Buy 52"inch TV or mayb More (im not updated about new releases)
or buy a damn Projector if u want to save ur freakin' eyes ...
Imagine what could 6 monitors do to your Eyes .... bla

[brisingamen]

the teletron at joe louis arena where the red wings play has 9 high definition tv's with seemless edges, so they do exist, the only question is how much more does it cost to produce. . . .

Yes, and so what? Have you ever thought about the resolution of the TEXTURES that are rendered on your ultra-mega-high-resolution-screen? Is there ANY game title that has textures worth viewing at 5760x2160 resolution? I guess there isn't any. And even if there were such crazy titles, I doubt that state of art graphic cards could handle them.

You can buy big TV for like 1-1.5k and use it for both gaming and uhm, watching TV, or you can spend twice as much and get 6 monitors with "ultra-thin bezel" and watch low resolution textures at crazy 5760x2160.

Whatever makes sense to you...

 

[ik694]

I love this tech, but for it to catch on there really needs to be some good 24" monitors with display port at the $200 price point.

 

[nachowarrior]

to answer a few questions, the 6 port cards had already been announced before the current lineup released. If you want a performance iq you can go to hardocp and check out their test set up with 3. 6 monitors will likely require a crossfireX setup of some sort for more current games. mini DP adapters will be used for those monitors using hdmi or d\/i. so dp displays are not required. For anything o\/er 30 on high settings in current games for 3 monitors you're going to likely need 5850 or better.

and yes. i agree with makwy2. time for another job... 😀

stpcl[citation][nom]ptroen[/nom]Um. I don't get this. Isn't this starting to be excessive? Honestly. I mean a couple years ago I had 4 moniters but then I realized when you get bigger monitors you have more desktop real estate and hence you really could use LESS moniters. So now I'm back down to 2. I mean for certain business applications sure maybe 4-6 moniters but from a usability perspective your going to have a difficult time viewing all six moniters at the same time. I mean if you back away then you wouldn't see the detail of each indiviual pixel either. And this is not just AMD that does this either NVIDIA and matrox are doing this as well. Why do we need more then 3? Couldn't we just got two cards for this? Yes the PC bandwidth could be excessive but geez this is alot of desktop real estate....[/citation]


Stock Brokers sometimes use from 4 to 8 monitors, also stock Analyst also do..

The best I've heard of is using multiple projectors with one big screen. It is probably picky to set up, but solves the bezel problem.

 

[WyomingKnott]

I have a question that someone out there may be able to answer. With these multi-monitor setups, does the software allow for the bezels, blanking out some of the picture but preserving the overall shape, or do the pictures line up edge-to-edge, requiring the user to "ignore" the extra space?
Obviously, I've never seen a six-screen rig in person.

 

[HavoCnMe]

Can't wait until i have that at work, my 2 2443BWX's will do for now. Ill need a bigger desk that is anchored to the ground to avoid tipping.

 

[knickle]

I am wondering the same thing wyomingKnott. I tried out eyefinity using two monitors when I first picked up my 5850 a couple of months ago. At the time the drivers did not support any way to compensate for the bezels such as blanking out the dead space. I don't know if this has changed (I haven't tried it since). It would make the experience better if it did since.

Now we all can watch Google-Earth HD sat images!

 

[liquidsnake718]

This is great for businesses that want to display or for companies to directly compare monitors one one one usingthe same video/game/sample......

great for businesses and enterprise displays... most likely for amusement games or simulators...
