not even that really impressive of a computer driving that either, that's amazing.

I would love to see that with like the mega sized 50"+ LCD's

It looks like the colour's off in some of the monitors. Is it because they're not calibrated the same, or is it just because they're TN and the viewing angles causes the colors to go all weird?

It could be that or they might have changed the colour temperatures in the monitors.

I agree with the bezels as well. I'm glad companies are starting to produce more and more bezel-less TVs/monitors. It makes for things like this actually worth while.

it's hard to beat the three monitor setup, one for main vision and 2 for peripheral, that way you are least messing with your bezel issues.

Imagine playing a RTS on there....

It looks like the guy just threw this together temporarily. He's using 3 different graphics cards. I wouldn't be surprised if he borrowed some monitors.

I wonder if it would be a better idea to do this with projectors and a big screen instead. If you could line up the projectors precisely it would have no bezels.

Seems like that would be better-suited for a flight simulator, specifically something in a commercial airliner, since they've got multiple individual windows up there. :)

That would probably be pretty nice. I could see the appeal there. FPS/Driving games though seem not to be ideal though for that.

And the bezels... so many of them...

They're all exactly the same, as far as I can tell. So damn. I can't think of anyone else who has a P2250 like mine, let alone 8 other someones. The only people I can think of who have access to this many monitors are people who work in IT for a living, and people who own internet cafes.

I was wondering, though, how the Eyefinity setup worked. 3 monitors through each card, right? So it obviously doesn't need crossfire to get all 9 to output the data from the 5870?
