Have y'all tried flipping the monitors so they're vertical so that you have five monitors 6000x1920? Then you wouldn't have bezel problems.

That is pretty cool, but yeah the bezel issue... Maybe someday someone will work on a bezel-less monitor for true surround vision.

I would consider getting the setup if u could rotate the displays 90 degrees and stack them across in a single row as that would greatly reduce the bezel issue. It would look like AMDs setup when showing off their Eyefinity technology. That would be awesome.

Tried Gaming on a 1080p TV, sucks, looks awful. There comes a point where pixel density and how big the screen is can ruin an experience. TV's are good for Movies and a few console games that can get the most on the screen. Sometimes i feel like my 24" is too big for PC gaming, i noticed using a 19" at LAN parties i do much better in FPS games. Sorry guys, but i make fun of people who bring 50" tvs to LANS and get negative K/D.

The bezel looks like it would be annoying. I'd prefer to purchase a high quality LED TV then hook my computer in via HDMI.

Like I said in the other article/video posts, six screens in not good for gaming. You either want three, five or nine. There are configurations above that, but who has the space, money, or horsepower?

 

I really doubt Crysis 2 is going to be new benchmark. It's not a bad game, but Metro is more demanding. Crysis 2 and Crysis demand about the same power. The thing that really sucks is the textures are lower res compared to the first. I've read several reports now of people who can play 2 on very high, but cannot do so with the first. Yes, it's been optimised more, but it's also been toned down. I'm disappointed, I expected more from them. It's clear that it's not a console port, but it's clear that the consoles heavily influenced a game that simply was not possible on consoles.

You could have at least told us which games you were playing and what input devices you were using for the racing game.  Give credit where credit's due and give those who aren't familiar with the game some point of reference for in-game performance.  Otherwise, thanks for the show!

I would prefer to see 3 2560x1600 panels aligned vertically.

 

4800x2560 would be great, with only 2 bezels to deal with, although the 30" panels I have seen have pretty thick bezels.

That looks aweful, Who thought this was a good idea?

I'm assuming we're going to see a review next week (or so)?

I can see where the bezeling can get in the way of the gaming.

Does MaximumPC have any recommendations on what to do if someone purchased the six-panel display?

if you are going to use 6 screens and spend the money at least max it out and go for seamless screens. I have a video wall at work of 6 screens. they put in what you have there after showing the wall off the customers they realized how crappy it looked. And went seamless screens. If you guys used that setup then that would make the games look better. i cant get passed seeing a black line right in my field of vision during playing.

How about 3x30"(1920x1200) displays set up vertically... to do away with the center bezel. Is this even possible? (5760x3600)

Thx for the shits&giggles, but really no-one games @ 3x2.

3x1 (5760x1200 all the way).

 

Also; With regards to C2, the 6or8gigs doesn't matter as it's a 32bit/dx9 POS.

I am now going to bend my 56 inch dlp to see if I get the same effect, minus the bezel intrusion.

ideally you'd want 9 slightly smaller monitors for a shoot-em-up, even with the same size bezel I bet you wouldn't even notice them.

Nice how about posting a video on how it is hooked up, Every site always boast about running 6 displays but yet there is not one that actually shows off the connections the video card the set up and software. I cant be the only one annoyed at this am I?

If you use SoftTH you can edit the .cfg file to shift the screen up or down and away from the bezel.
