Some Fun With A 6-Screen ATI Eyefinity Configuration

actually infinity im a very picky guy and i notice them alot! im running dual screen only and i get annoyed of the bezels... Im like trying to do something and i go" is there something between the bezels?" i know there is nothing there but when u do somehting like gaming across the screens the mouse would jump form screen to screen (this affects my gaming not sure about you guys "mainly my aim") xD

Hey!  Is this one of your setups or just some random blog you found? That's cool!  We'd love to have the author write something for us on this. :)

Nope its not my setup :D i just found it on google :D

Also the post from the main page is not updating to the forum, making it seem like my post was out of no where :D lol

NVM :D i see his post on the top xD the forum post is not going over to he mainpage xD

Yeah, like that. Seems to work alright, though I think I'd be a little more anal about my setup. I couldn't find a supplier with lenses 20-24". Actually, I found *very few* suppliers to begin with.

Wow, that's so cool! You get the 3D effect and reduce bezels at the same time! And the F550 Fresnel lens used is pretty cheap, about $20-30 each.

Would love to see a write up of it at HH!

bezels begone! = 6 HD digital projectors

i have not seen anyone do it yet.

HMMM!   I like that idea! Marco!  We should see if we can set this up!

this just made my day complete...looking forward to it!!!

That looks really awesome, but doesn't the cross-hairs land right in the middle of your bottom and top monitors? I am really thinking hard about using my tax money to pick up a 5770 or 5830 and another 22" monitor.

I think gaming would work better on a 3 monitor setup rather than a 2. Should work well in a FPS. But as for third person, RTS, or any game where your aim doesn't stay in the center of the screens, I would assume the "jumping" cursor would be distracting/annoying.

I am more interested in the rig behind the monitor, how would you stack 6 monitors like that?

The HD projector idea sounds awesome, but there projectors so why would you need 6 really. I mean at say a 50" per projector output you would have a 300" projection that's 25 feet. What would you even project it on lol? Still though a 25 foot game wall wow. I would think if you rig them so that they all display at half, then over project 3 of the projectors on top of each other, and all 6 projectors were of the exact same brand and model you would get a deeper interpolation field. Although it would be 12.5 feet rather than 25' the depth would seem to me at least in a imaginary result to be much better. Of course you'd need a pitch black room for it to I bet or the light would break down the image.

Either way it sound very interesting, and when interlaced like this I bet the image would be awesome.

Yes, the projection size would be kickass but unless i'm mistaken, using only one projector physically limits us to the projector's native resolution not much different to a single monitor setup. A 25 feet projection at a resolution of 1024x768 for example is not exactly hi-def.

However, 6 projectors in an eyefinity setup (assuming each projector is at 1280x1024) would give us a 10 feet wall (for example), with a combined resolution of 7680x6144, without the pesky bezels Yum!

Now, if only the walls were curved...here's to hoping HH. hehe.

@ ALL OF YOU!!!

i don't usually comment on these things but I TOTALLY understand how the frames and edges would bug you--felt the same way...I do A LOT of digging on the net for things like this and the best solution is ALWAYS SO SIMPLE--just take the monitors out of their bezels/frames/casing/housing. Et voila--no frames!! :o)) OR you can grab a couple of these things:

hope it help spark your imagination :))
