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

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.

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

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.
