CineMassive OmegaPlex: 27.6 million pixels for $12,995

Funny story -- just under three years ago, we all thought six 24-inchers latched together in a swanky multi-monitor setup was the real heat. Nowadays, it takes a real beast to even catch the ever-wandering eye of we geeks, and while the CineMassive OmegaPlex isn't a HIPerSpace, you won't need a government loan and a damn good research proposal to claim one as your own. Boasting 27.6 million pixels and a total screen resolution of 7,860 x 3,600, this ridiculous rig also comes with a 3-year warranty and a practically unheard of "zero dead pixel" policy. Feel free to infinitely boost your 1337-ness by handing over $12,995 and patiently awaiting delivery via the largest ground vehicle UPS owns. Check the vid after the break for a little more encouragement. [Warning: PDF read link]

Is that F-22 Lightning 4 up there? Looks so real! This game is going to kickass...

[athousandleaves Posted Oct 23rd 2008 8:58AM]

and at that price it cant even display UHDV properly...

It's almost affordable for a tech geek who probably has a decent salary anyways and likes to pump a lot of money into his home theatre. Although who knows with this economy.

You people are all looking at it wrong, this is clearly targeted to everyone who bought a netbook and has to make up for that 7inch screen they bought, I'm sure the integrated graphics would have no problem handling this display

So what kind of box would you need to play games on this beast, much less scale them across the 12 monitors?

I dont even want to think about running Crysis on this. You'd need a computer from 5 years in the future to pull that off.

For $13K I'll take one large screen, not 12 screens with annoying black borders. And why is it 13k? 13k/12 screens comes out to just over $1,000 per 24" screen. Get em here for $278. http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=0&t=958565

I think the "zero dead pixel" policy is the most newsworthy part of this story as these sorts of rigs are nothing new. Frankly, the monitor stand looks inadequate for a rig that must weigh about 175 pounds.

people like living in jail??

[blash Posted Oct 23rd 2008 12:40PM]

Nah - the way to go is to take multiple projectors and align them so that the edges of their pictures are touching each other - that's the only way to truly have a multi-source image and not have any borders or bezels. Then simply add more projectors (at short range, natch, so you can actually add more) until you reach your desired resolution - rear projection works well here.

[rcappo Posted Oct 23rd 2008 12:54PM]

I know planetariums use multiple projectors in this fashion. I would think that having 12x $1500 1080p projectors with a 360" diagonal screen (30') would be great. I'm not sure how wide movie theater screens are, but it might be a good place to test it out at.

I'll buy one just to see the priceless look on the delivery guy's face when he walks into my run down apartment with a dilapidated couch and torn up rug. I anticipate his face saying "Really? Really?"

[grifmx Posted Oct 23rd 2008 5:40PM]

I think projectors are the way to go.

I'm just hoping that someone can invent a LED-based projector that does not require a noisy fan and tons of heat!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 23rd 2008 5:44PM]

HA!!! Yeah let me give $13,000,000 to a company that cant even multiply. Wow, seriously? Did anyone else watch the youtube video. The display is completely crooked and the video lags horribly. Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

[sr1329 Posted Oct 23rd 2008 5:55PM]

Give me a call when the bezels are gone.

[turbomother Posted Oct 26th 2008 2:32PM]
