New Zenview offers six 24-inch displays as one

What you do with it is your business, but the new Zenview Command Center Elite from Digital Tigers -- a monster array of six 24-inch Samsung displays -- is plenty to love. Each display sports a 1920x1200 resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 6ms response times, all of which, when added up, equals a whole lot of awesome. Now we just have to find our stash of dual DVI graphics cards, we know it was around here somewhere.

[dayne kaufman @ Feb 27th 2006 10:22AM]

I want one. Now.

[Smash @ Feb 27th 2006 10:27AM]

Gaming??

I was thinking more on the lines of watching Keeley Hazell on of these bad boys..

[Jurgen @ Feb 27th 2006 10:28AM]

... And I've found sufficient space to put up the whole combi: Where once the pile of cash to buy them, was...

#3: Not literally.

[Dave Kaufman @ Feb 27th 2006 10:38AM]

Aww...only 6? That's so last Tuesday. I was really hoping for 144. To provide true 16:9. *sigh*

This might be good if I wanted to us MS Paint or Notepad though.

[Jonny @ Feb 27th 2006 10:45AM]

Great for production work - but not so hot for fps gaming as the "crosshairs" will be smack bang in a bezle... :|

[William @ Feb 27th 2006 10:56AM]

That would be one high-res image to convert into 6 1920x1200 backgrounds!

[Merkure @ Feb 27th 2006 10:57AM]

Looks great !!!

Now I got an idea: wWy don't you do a lottery and the winner can win the 6 screens + the computer (and the n video cards) ??? Please do it :) !!!

[Quagmire @ Feb 27th 2006 11:13AM]

Giggidy Giddigy Gig-a-dee, Alright.

[Jedix123 @ Feb 27th 2006 11:20AM]

How would you power something like that. Even dual DVI out cards in SLI would only output to 4 monitors.

[Doug @ Feb 27th 2006 11:34AM]

@Jedix123/@10

yeah duh... 4 for the PC's, one for the XBOX 360, and one for the PS3...

[PhilJ @ Feb 27th 2006 11:37AM]

#9, succinctly, and expertly, put.

[Enko @ Feb 27th 2006 12:11PM]

With something like a matrox ASM jedix

[ranron @ Feb 27th 2006 12:48PM]

#6: Good luck trying to even run a game with decent graphics on the 6 displays. Even SLI/Crossfire cards running 3D accelerated games on the newest 30-inch Dell panels with 4 megapixel displays' native resolution is difficult, these panels are like two of them 30-inches and therefore gaming will be difficult, so the point is not to play games but for developers, multimedia editors, or even stock traders to have more real estate to view more instead of spending a lot of money on three big displays and get one that made of 6 (smaller display is cheaper).

Also computers can run 6 displays. Run SLI/Crossfire and a dual DVI PCI video card (2+2+2=6).

[Fire Hazard @ Feb 27th 2006 12:48PM]

have any of you guys ever tried multi monitors with a fps? As far as what I have tried it doesn't work. I totally agree with #9, well said. To #10: You can use 2 PCI Express 16x cards with dual outputs and a PCI Express 1x card with dual outputs to come up with 6 outputs. You could also buy a couple of Matrox quad output cards to give you 8 outputs. I have used 5 monitors at one time using one AGP video card with dual outputs and 3 PCI video cards. Nowa days you don't have to match up anything, not even interface. Put any combination of PCI Express 16x, PCI Express 1x, AGP, and PCI video cards together and they should be able to work together just fine for multi monitors.

[LaserBeams @ Feb 27th 2006 1:11PM]

Not so good reviews, and probably a bad company, but it has 3 16x PCI-express slots:

[Ryukun @ Feb 27th 2006 1:52PM]

If I had that kind of money I'd just dedicate individual computers to each screen (tiny form factor packed with power of course)
Have an uber hub.

[CurtisTheGeek @ Feb 27th 2006 2:37PM]

An easy solution would be to use the Colorgraphic Xentera GT - 8-port video card.

[zamar @ Feb 27th 2006 2:41PM]

wow... time to get started on that diy racing simulator

[Nick @ Feb 27th 2006 3:04PM]

I'd hook each screen to a separate system and play two or three FPS SIMULTANEOUSLY...

...all you need is one quick KVM switch and enough physical and mental energy to put a standard G-type star to shame...

[Finished.Law.School @ Feb 27th 2006 3:07PM]

Now someone just needs to figure out a way to get rid of the intrusive bezels...

[gr1zz @ Feb 27th 2006 3:13PM]

I have been a huge advocate for multi monitor setups, but sadly they are largely unsupported in the 3d gaming world. But i can still dream of my sweet-sweet mech cockpit.

[nizzy1115 @ Feb 27th 2006 5:07PM]

imagine a flight sim on this...drool...

[E71 @ Feb 27th 2006 5:21PM]

I'd only want this if my graphics card supported six DVI connections!!

[Orc Man @ Feb 27th 2006 5:56PM]

This is not impressive. $12,000 bucks? Buying this "preassembled" is for people with more money than brains. The mounts are standard Ergotron mounts - good stuff, you get what you pay for. The package deal? Waste of money.

Let's explore this:

6 Monitors - @ $1400 each = $84000
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1649091&CatId=1410
2 Ergotron Mount Bases - @ $100 each = $200
2 Ergotron Arms - @ $250 each = $500

Total Cost - $9700 (RETAIL)
Congrats, you just overpaid $2900 (or more, if you buy 6 $1500 monitors, you had better get a discount!)

Oh, and you still need to assemble the monitors yourself, eitherway you go. Take the 5 minutes it takes to find a good mount and save nearly 3 grand.

[Orc Man @ Feb 27th 2006 5:57PM]

6 Monitors - @ $1400 each = $8400

A few too many zeros there :)

[Jason @ Feb 28th 2006 2:26AM]

Yeah, it's already a feat to have the juice to run a modern game on a single 1920x1200 monitor. There's no machine in existance that could run a game on those.

[yelohbird @ Feb 28th 2006 3:29AM]

Reminiscent of Liebermann...except real?

[DT1 @ Feb 28th 2006 11:32AM]

Orc Man (#25), you are wrong about being able to build this display from standard Ergotron components. This is impossible: Ergotron bows are not wide enough. There is no bow available to consumers that is wide enough for this display, no are there clamps available to consumers to construct a dual-pole exoskeleton.

You should be careful about publishing these assumptions when you have obviously not verified them.

[WildWilly @ Mar 3rd 2006 12:51PM]

This is just sick. When will the insanity stop? Soon we'll be seeing whole walls disappear behind these video screens!

[Orc Man @ Mar 3rd 2006 9:22PM]

I OWN a set of Ergotron bows. They have 3 AND 4 wide bows, and while I agree that the 3 would not work, the four would (for 3 jumbo screens). It MIGHT take a bit of tweaking but cmon now - $3000+ to drill some holes, if that is even required? The supports are trivial as well - just attach them both as usual. There are plenty of standard mounting options - a flat base, desk clamps, etc.

[Wild_Willy @ Mar 4th 2006 9:42PM]

That is just krazy! Soon they will have whole walls being covered by screens, sweet!

[multiple monitors @ Feb 7th 2007 1:19PM]

They already do. Checkout 9X Media's Video Walls Impressive stuff

[William @ Mar 6th 2006 12:27AM]

Yes, to Imagine I could finally Multi-task, having 6 large spreadsheets open at once. or 6 Different TV channels. Oh. My Brain. To Dream. To Dream.

[mavx21 @ Jul 15th 2006 4:52AM]

Or you could hook up several computers through Multiplicity (from www.stardock.com) and skip the KVM

[daytraitor @ Jan 6th 2007 11:18PM]
