For $19,500 I could fly to the UK and spend a month and a half at the world famous Silverstone Rally Driving School.

Or buy these 3 crappy monitors..
Just saying...]]>Jan 9th 2010 1:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/Feb 26th 2010 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/Jan 8th 2010 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/that's because you have an Eyefinity GPU]]>Jan 8th 2010 8:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/Jan 8th 2010 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/Jan 8th 2010 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/there's a difference between just having a multimonitor setup and being able to actually run games across the multiple monitors. Non eyefinity cards to my knowledge, can only hardware accelerate on one display at a time]]>Jan 8th 2010 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/

What do curve displays have to do with anything they function just like ordinary displays only they are curved... And they will work on any gpu]]>Jan 8th 2010 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/For any non-eyefinity card you need a connector that cost 100-200.]]>Jan 8th 2010 9:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/Jan 8th 2010 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/
Well, playing games on multi monitor setups is nothing new. I am sure many of us can remember those promo ATI/nVidia videos showing off MS Flight Sim X on 6+ monitors few years back. Even before then I remember playing games on my dual 22"'s. Just go to your display settings, set both monitors to be an extension of one another, launch the game and there you'll have a game on both monitors. That's where the fun ended, because to add more monitors you needed to add more video cards, at least till Eyefinity was released. Now with Eyefinity video card and monitor with display port (or display port to DVI adapter ~$99), you can run upto 6 monitors on a single ATI 5xxx series video card. That's about it.]]>Jan 9th 2010 12:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/Jan 8th 2010 8:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/
that doesn't make sense.]]>Jan 8th 2010 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/
They are 3 screens not cameras.]]>Jan 8th 2010 8:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/think of it like this, the way eyefinity works now is that you have one big wide camera in the game, and then you split it into 3 parts and have one on each monitor which is fine if the monitors laid out flat, but all this tilting of the side monitors is really not right. You need independent cameras in the game's engine to be configured to that degree of tilt so ideally if you tilted those side monitors 90 degrees to the side of you, you'd see exactly what's on your left and right and not an extension of the front]]>Jan 8th 2010 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/I see what you're saying and I totally didn't think it warped the image until I read your comment and watched it a second time. If you look closely on the side screens, you can see that things that have vertical lines are tilted where they shouldn't be. Not that I think it would be entirely noticeable during action, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want the option to stop for a second in Crysis and take a look to my left or right without distortion.

PS - extra points for the awesome avatar. Tuesday's coming, did you bring your coat?]]>Jan 8th 2010 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/
They said that when you are in the center of the display you never see those lines.

Only if you stand out side of the screens]]>Jan 8th 2010 11:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/um, you kind of got it and don't got it. The tiling boxes are really just the flat parts of the LCD that join together to make it look curved. but my point is about the other part where the image looks warped. another example is to look at perspectives, if you're playing like GTA and you're in the middle of a street interesection, you'll definately see the street ahead of you go to vanishing point, but ideally you want to the left and right turn streets to go also their respective points also when you turn your head at them, instead, like a flat image they follow the street ahead]]>Jan 8th 2010 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/oh and I don't think that's the right skit, my avatar is the one where he pulls the guy's abdomen off and puts it on his head]]>Jan 8th 2010 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/What some games (such as this one) need is to have their Field of View adjusted to compensate for the viewing position of the monitors. Curved or flat, the game has no way to know where the monitors are and how they are positioned unless it is configured. There are tools that help do this, or sometimes games will have this ability in a .ini file.

CRT like thickness and vertical segment lines on the screens = fail in my opinion. Though I do like AMD's Eyefinity...

I'll wait until the bendy screens that they're making for ePaper and eReaders come to TVs...]]>Jan 8th 2010 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/
You can't see those if you're the one in the middle of the screens, its only at this angle that we can see them.]]>Jan 8th 2010 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/

LOL! Sorry to cause you pain... ;)

At least its easy to spot in a thread! Funny thing is, now when I go to Walmart and walk past the lamps, I find myself secretly checking for tourtiere styles similar to this one...I feel kinda naughty doing it!]]>Jan 9th 2010 3:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/Jan 8th 2010 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/It's actually powered with 4 micro-projectors, which is what allows for the curved screen. This is also why you see some brightness difference when you are off-center; the light is being attenuated down to the central viewing point. Flexible OLED is still very small, costly, and unavailable.]]>Jan 21st 2010 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/

That thing is worth $1000 tops.

Personally, with a budget of $19500 for my monitors, instead of buying 3 of those Ostendo monitors, I would buy 20 30" Dell monitors for around 1k!!!! There are plenty of pictures on the net of Eyefinity running 24 30" monitors and they are a lot more impressive then Ostendo pics. :)]]>Jan 9th 2010 1:28AM
