Also, those are 30" Apple screens, not 32".

Creative way to use excessive resources. ;-)]]>Apr 13th 2006 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/
Actually the screens probably work best in the configuration you've got them, giving a total resolution of 7680x6400 (4:3.3) rather than 10240x4800 (16x7.5) if you had 4 wide and 3 high.

And you need to arrange them in a 4:3 configuration.

4:3 * 4:3 = 4*4 : 3*3 = 16:9]]>Apr 13th 2006 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/Apr 13th 2006 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/Apr 13th 2006 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/Apr 13th 2006 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/
the main thing i can see making these useful would be to actually use them at their native resolution and then using them to display good quality images, or one extremely high resolution image split between all the monitors.

OR! if you could drive at least a 1080p video signal to each of them and use it like some kind of super hd tv surveillance system, that would be one awesome and detailed security room setup... now where to get all the hd surveillance cameras...]]>Apr 13th 2006 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/

Can you find me a projector for under $3000 that has a resolution of even 1920x1200? Each of those 30 inch monitors has a resolution of 2560x1600 -- no consumer projectors go anywhere near that. Maybe you can find a $20,000 projector designed for movie theaters or something that has the resolution of ONE of these 30" monitors. With an array of monitors, the purpose isn't always to "watch a movie" amidsts all those bezels...think about somebody wanting to monitor multiple stock tickers, while watching TV on one 30" screen, monitoring a weather report, and perhaps doing some light gaming or spreadsheet work. Maybe you won't stare at all 12 monitors simultaneously, but together they can display much more information than any single projector you'll find in the next 10 years...and you can just turn your head instead of minimizing and maximizing windows repeatedly. Maybe some of the monitors are too far for, say, playing an intensive game...but those monitors could be relegated to other purposes like weather reports, stock tickers, monitoring business transactions, running news headlines, etc...this is in some sort of office, not some guys living room. Projector fans should also remember that bulb replacement runs at about $300 every 2000 hours (about 8 months at 8-10 hours/day)...so your frugal option is not only technologically inferior (resolution per dollar) but comes with a nice hefty maintenance cost to go with it.

And anybody screaming "waste of money" -- the same could likely be said about your brand new SUV (you know, that you use to drive yourself to work alone 99% of the time), and it probably cost upwards of $30,000 and does a lot more damage to the environment than a few computer monitors.]]>Apr 14th 2006 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/13/wall-o-30-inchers/Http://www.data1online.com/tech

We update the site and progress of this project daily.

And trust me, Plasmas, projectors, and especially DLP wouldn't come close to this resolution.
