I am so jealous, I thought my 22" widescreen was good but that takes the biscuit.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it run too. If you do mind, don't tell.

edit: what screen resolution does it run at?

2880x900.

I screwing with you guys too - I don't own this, but it may become a contender when it is released. It is OLED too!!!!

Expect a hefty chunk of a price tag.

You beat me to it! It is not DLP though. DLP sucks. It is Organic LED.

The coolest screen I've ever had the opportunity to play on was a computer projector projecting the screen on the entire wall of my friend's basement. It was like running video games on an IMAX screen. We actually got motion sickness after a while.

Aspect ratio is all you have to worry about. Tweaking it to work at that res shouldn't be a problem. That Crysis screenshot looks like it has proper aspect ratio by the way.

I've been thinking of getting this:



http://www.matrox.com/graphics/surroundgaming/en/home/

This shows a list of games that can support those resolutions:

I have to second that. I've always had problems with their hardware and software... Although that set up looks great :hmm:!

Personally, I'm kind of waiting for good 3d goggles to hit the shelves. Virtual reality will be here soon with multi-core CPUs becoming the standard.

At over $200 bucks for the adapter (and double that for the two other monitors) I am paying close attention. Any specific instances either of you might share?
