[AG-TECH] Multi-Headed Display

[Osland, CD (Chris)]

Don,

$5000 ???  The monitors are only GBP200 = USD300 each - that's a lot
of glue you'll be using!  For $5000 you could probably do a 2x4
array of monitors - 4096 x 1536 = 6 Mpixels, rather than 1x3 which
gives you 2.25 Mpixels (and still have money left over for the
second G200 card).  [Does the Matrox software actually handle
8-9 channels?]

I have 3 industrial LCD modules at home (1 inch steel surround) -
I'll see what they look like hooked up to our node.

Cheers

Chris

So, I just did a quick search on prices, and found an 
article saying "At $9,995.00, Model PV230 DSK Breaks 
the Price/Performance Barrier for Immersive, Multi-Panel 
Displays."  Interestingly, one can buy three pretty
good projectors for that price :)  I agree, though,
it "is" cool and maybe there are some lower cost
alternatives?  Heck, for $5k I'll build one for anybody
who wants me to - three monitors + superglue!
