Samsung's MD230X6 six-screen Eyefinity rig gets a price to match its size

By Richard Lai
Aww... isn't that 8-inch frame in the corner just adorable? And yep, it's right next to the same monstrous ATI Eyefinity rig we gave away at last month's Engadget Show, composed of six 23-inch IPS monitors bolted together. Samsung's been mum about its final price until now, but — drum roll please — the MD230X6's just a mere £3,180, which translates to about $4,750 on the other side of the pond. Don't know about you, but that £149.99 ($224) Samsung 800P photo frame's starting to look like a bargain now.

Update: Samsung just informed us that these are actually PVA screens, not IPS.%Gallery-92805%
