Via Slashdot: "Whereas most current graphics cards can only drive a pair of displays, AMD has put some special sauce in its next-generation DirectX 11 GPUs to enable support for a whopping six monitors. There's no catch about supported resolutions, either. At an event yesterday, AMD demonstrated a single next-gen Radeon driving six 30" Dell monitors, each with a resolution of 2560x1600, hooked up via DisplayPort. Total resolution: 7680x3200 (or 24.6 megapixels). AMD's drivers present this setup as a single monitor to Windows, so in theory, games don't need to be updated to support it. AMD showed off Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, World of Warcraft, and DiRT 2 running at playable frame rates on the six displays."

Looks like I'm behind the game now, what with my paltry three 22" monitors. 

6 x 30" widescreen        = $6,000 - $12,000
Vs
1 HD projector + screen = $600 - $50,000

Inconclusive? 

Well I would rather not have the 6 frames around each screen for gaming.  Although the article did mention working to develop screens with smaller bezels.  I would rather just go buy a large TV screen like Shoctor's.  Then you don't need the 5 extra cables coming out of your pc.

I use 4 at work.  But I suppose if I worked at ... Pixar or Dreamworks I would most likely need 6 monitors.  And companies of the like probably have some ridiculous setup that use a way higher end GPU for rendering.

I feel like i'm missing something here.

The $600 - $50,000 range is way wide there bud.

I agree, I was shocked when I saw one for $150k (which magically disappeared from google) but here's one for $75k  & $137k

Yeah, but at that point you actually project on the moon so the entire state can watch your Prawn
