Is 2 x 2 appealing to you? This is somewhat rhetorical as, I just don't see it being that one eye is looking at one monitor while the other is looking at the other, my eyes don't work that way (at least not sitting as close as I do to my computer, which is addressed in the article). I either get the whole picture, or the part I am focusing on. Perhaps I am not imaging this correctly in my head, or just have a comprehension fail on your post.]]>Mar 31st 2010 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/ati-radeon-hd-5870-eyefinity-6-edition-review-roundup-novel-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/ati-radeon-hd-5870-eyefinity-6-edition-review-roundup-novel-bu/

you have apaprently never been in teh financial world where traders will command upwards of 6 monitors no problem.

some guys at the office have ten screens goin all the time.

this is done with multiple machines but given the computign power available nowadays you could conceivabley consoladate multiple PCs into one awesome workstation.

The bezels really kill the experience. Otherwise I could see this making sense. Not only are they a pain for gaming, it would interfere with watching movies as well.

A couple of nice, thin bezel monitors can rack up in price quite quickly as well. (Likely over a thousand bucks.) I'd much rather buy one nice large 1080p HDTV and mount that on my wall to supplement my everyday monitor. Then I can play games and watch movies while sitting a few feet away, but still have the regular monitor to do work and type emails at my desk. Problem solved, simple and maybe cheaper too! (Depends on how big of a TV you want.)

I know people will say you can buy bargain monitors for this or buy up some cheap used ones but for the best multi-monitor experience, you really want all the same model.]]>Mar 31st 2010 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/ati-radeon-hd-5870-eyefinity-6-edition-review-roundup-novel-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/ati-radeon-hd-5870-eyefinity-6-edition-review-roundup-novel-bu/Mar 31st 2010 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/ati-radeon-hd-5870-eyefinity-6-edition-review-roundup-novel-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/ati-radeon-hd-5870-eyefinity-6-edition-review-roundup-novel-bu/Mar 31st 2010 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/ati-radeon-hd-5870-eyefinity-6-edition-review-roundup-novel-bu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/ati-radeon-hd-5870-eyefinity-6-edition-review-roundup-novel-bu/
