I guess I wouldnt mind having one of those Grand Canyon Displays though. They do look pretty sweet. Anyone know where there might be a review on one?

WEGA's suck too. Their display of computer resolutions are horrible. I would buy a great projector and be done with it. Projection for size to money ratio is not to be beat. I have always owned projection screens for my movie/computer room. And now you can get them for next to nothing as far as cost to own.

OK, is that site fake or real? If it's a fake, wow, some dude got to have too much time on his hands, if it's real, which Video card can display that Resolution?

You would have to have a pretty good RAMDAC in order to do it as most recent cards have, and as the customizations show, it appears the company believes any ATI 9800, NVidia FX5900, or Matrox Parhelia with 128MB of RAM can display that resolution of 3-4K by 1280.... About the quivalent of two 21-22 inch high resolution monitors since you are only dealing with 1280 pixel height.

If you read the text... It says it requires a quad-head vid card.

It's basically 4 monitors glued together.

Everything about the site screams "fake" except the fact that it's so well-done. Look at the page on the logo, for instance. It looks great but the text is just patently ridiculous. :p

There are a few typos scattered throughout the site and I could swear I've seen some of the images before (like this one). However, if it's a hoax, it is certainly one of the best I've ever seen.
