Tom's Readers Get the Eyefinity Treatment
Three monitors are always better than one!
This past weekend, six lucky Tom's Hardware readers got to sit down with us here in our Culver City office. It's always fun to meet and chat with readers of both Hardware and Guide, be it at a convention or LAN party... but it’s always more fun on our home turf, especially when we have a surprise in store for them.
In conjunction with AMD and EA, Tom's brought the readers in to play with a top-of-the-line Eyefinity gaming rig, complete with a Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition processor, 5870 graphics card, and three Dell 2310 23-inch (1920x1080) monitors. The day was replete with Dragon Age: Origins, Modern Warfare 2, and Supreme Commander. Playing any game at a 5760x1080 resolution is going to be amazing, but Dragon Age was especially fun because it's optimized for an Eyefinity setup.
Games were played, prizes were won, and plenty of Red Bull and soda was consumed, without a doubt. What you see is here merely a glimpse of the days' events, as there will be plenty of pictures and video over the next week. Stay tuned!

Jane's pretty Hot! She would do great in a Silk Spectre Suit!!
My 22" acer monitor at home has 1200, and I certainly would NEVER consider fewer vertical lines, especially on a larger screen were I to replace it. 1200 vertical is just BARELY enough. I suffer with 1280x1024 at work and I regularly can't get enough vertical screen space when looking at documents. I've re-oriented my second display into Portrait just to make it usable. 1080 on a GAMING screen? Say it ain't so Toms, Say it ain't so!
the reason its 1920x 1080 is because that is 1080p resolution. it is less expensive for the companies to make ALL of their lcd screens that resolution (including tv's). Economies of scale my friend.

How about Jane? =P
Lots of readers are apparently big fans of her looks (judging by the comments on the Christmas gadgets article). Just a thought... Also, just noticed that bustapr had the same idea!
Jane and Sarah, a shoe-in for anybody's booth babe's
Then add 3x 22" acer displays, hd5870 and gtx295 with a TH2G on top of all that and you get what I have

Thats pretty startling. It states a premium pc is one that costs over a thousand dollars. Obviously those are Intel Macs.
GOGOGO! DO IT! RAIDNAOWBARRLRLLWARRGARBL
