We've seen examples of ATI's Eyefinity technology before but we have not seen it used to play Modern Warfare 2 across six displays.
Most of us can't afford a set up like this at home, so we'll have to make do with the video below. But don't be too sad! The silver lining is that it's nearly time for MW2 DLC. Xbox users will be getting it first (tomorrow) and the pack contains three new maps and two old ones from COD4, but PC and PS3 gamers should get their Mapathy cures before too long.
Modern Warfare 2, as seen on six screens
I agree give me 1 70 to 100 inch screen
The middle bar would be a huge inconvenience for any FPS or other game with a centered crosshair. That's exactly why three displays in portrait mode, with an undisturbed HUD on the center screen, makes a lot more sense than six displays, or any other configuration that breaks the center of your overall display.
And, as mianmian mentioned, even thin bezels around LCDs makes for an unpleasant viewing experience, in my opinion. The extra real estate might give you a competitive edge, but it just doesn't look good to me.
Why the heck would you use 6 projectors? 1 would accomplish the same thing
Middle line sucks
6 19x10 projectors will show a lot more then 1 19x10 that takes up same amount of wall space. That is why this is a good thing, yea no borders would make it better, but no single screen will have the resolution of that setup. Dunno why people keep saying that they rather have one big display, it won't show anything as clearly or have the resolution of this setup. a 70 inch screen at 19x10 resolution will clearly show pixels when close up, 6 19x10 won't since the total resolution is 6 times what one single display has, so will have smaller pixels.
I believe the largest projectors are 1080p. so instead of 100" of 1920x1080, how about 100" of 5760x2160? If you have the money for that, I'm sure you have the money for the graphics cards to power it.
You can use a projector for a large surface area but the resolution would still be lower. Using multiple projectors would get round this giving a much higher resolution for an even larger surface... I think that was the point of Socnom.
As for these articles themselves... they have been done before many times regarding various games. It's all old news with the same issues being talked about, they are just using a different game. Still, I guess its a change from all the repetitive rubbish on the Fermi articles.
Useful for a trade-show or something along those lines - but for home use - yeah it's pointless.
But I'm sure most people have 6 grand lying around to buy 6 $1k+ 1080p projectors.
already have it. It's called a high def projector. I play on a 106" screen.
