I thought this was an interesting article.

I don't watch TV very much at all, but was quite surprised at all the Full episodes available at Discovery Channel's website--->http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/

Hmm....What are the implications here for a migration of traditional TV/cable TV/satellite TV to internet TV? How could this affect how we use our hardware?

I just cancelled cable and going strictly internet. Movies will be delivered via netflix and hopefully shows on HULU. But I will also check out individual websites for shows like discovery. My costs will drop from 188\month to 29.99. But I still have a TV. I hooked my laptop up to my 67" Samsung.

I like what you did there.

I tried to span one of these discovery channel full length videos over my 2 monitors but it didn't work. I can only watch full screen on one monitor.

Does Anyone know if Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround View would allow a Full Length Video from these websites to be stretched out over Triple 1080p monitors in portrait mode?

With significant Graphics card power would image quality be good enough even if running outside the native resolution (ie pixel size) of the individual LCD monitors?

I am also hoping ATI makes strides with Manufacturers like Samsung to develop Ultra thin Bezeled LCD monitors. Apparently the secrecy involved with developing Eyefinity prevented them for doing this earlier
