stayed in my flat for most of the day except a bit chatting with a friend of mine. She's pretty so that may count, but it's nothing compared to yetis.

# imagine...
nora batty but black haired a bit taller a good amount slimmer much prettier with a good figure and then make her portugese and you're left with someone who looks nothing like nora batty but does look like my friend.

that's the best i can do i'm afraid.

crossfire ( sli ) HD3850's in this and could go quad now but there is no real reason. two 21" cad monitors to work on and an LCD 32" in the corner of the room for TV ( linked as a 3rd monitor for DVD viewing and the like ) is more than enough for me )
The computer in the other room with the 28" LCD is something I hardly sit at, I certainly can't photoshop on it, too shitty an image )

# last time I had thre monitors
I found it quite nice, but they got binned ages ago

I'm looking at some cheapy 24" 1900x1200 or something monitors but like.. well compared to what I'm staring at right now I know they'll suck ass

you should be able to get.. um.. 5120x3200 or something with your setup?

in the main I'd be using it for "an thing per screen" as it were so the ultimate resolution is less important than the number of screens

(I helped save b3ta! discomeats This canoe, Sat 24 May 2008, 22:50, archived)
# I don't do
stretch across screen so a large resolution is not what I'm after, as you say, it's having multiple applications open that matter. And I've just been looking I can get 2048X1536 on a single. I'm sure I can get a great deal more on a big LCD in HD mode. That's not something I've tried yet.

# depends really
I know the dell & apple expensive stuff will do that with no bother

but i'm pretty sure your cards'll do 2560x1600 or so per head

unforunately... the price you pay for them (in general) isn't an indicator of what resolution they'll do :D
edit: the monitors, that is
(I helped save b3ta! discomeats This canoe, Sat 24 May 2008, 22:57, archived)
# I've got EDID
turned on so it's probably a limitation of my monitors. I probably would get more at 85Hz ( that above was at 200Hz )

# yeah the cards can output ridiculous things really
but still, number of heads more useful than basic resolution

oh, and when I say multihead, I mean stuff like this

tho that's just for unix systems, there's software that lets you achieve a similar effect on windows but it's name escapes me at the moment

# yeah I know but again,
you are up against having pinpoint resolution on crt but with big break up ( from the cases ) between screens or sacrificing picture quality for LCD to get a video wall. To be honest the cost is not worth it when a projector will do the job.
(I helped save b3ta! Pasanonic 's been known to cause insanity in laboratory mice, Sat 24 May 2008, 23:13, archived)
# lots of factors really
depending on the use cases the borders either do or don't matter

I'm certain completely seamless is available but the price will be in take the piss territory

there's always multiple projectors for a video wall of course but then there's the multiples of calibration that has to be done

it's one of these things where if you really need it, you need it, as it were, I'd be happy for a few lcd's on this desk because the crts just take up too much space I don't do any graphical work where absolute accuracy matters that much and the eda stuff I want to do I know I'll be able to get away with

of course, if you really want to take the piss there's stuff like http://www.fogscreen.com/en/index.html

# Oh I'm a sucker for Gizmos
and I do like a good display but there is a point where I have to be practical because at the end of the day apart from a few accounts and invoices I do no work at home on a PC.
I'm just not a fan of LCD for computer use ( and that includes the best Samsung screens you will find available today ) I have a large desk and room to extend it ( it used to be 14 feet long in my last place ) if I need it so big CRTs still have plenty of toom for all my other shit and beer cans.

I do have an old Sanyo projector that I've been meaning to try when I get a new bulb but I have a family that keeps interfering with my geekery.
