Ultimate Display Overkill

For those who think 23" LCDs are puny... gang up to 32 DVI flat panels together!

Got cash and retinas to burn?

if each screen is 16x9 Widescreen and you pack 32 10x30" LCDs running 1024x768 res each = $60K

if you want the ultimate in high res...

32 10x22" LCDs running 3840x2400 res each, = only $142K

Aluminum housings, too.

Hey Santa Steve... !

Even more importantly, is there a commercially available graphics card that could handle such a beast?

Matrox make quad output cards, you would only 3 to run that monitor. IBM make some fat cards as well, to run their ultra hi res monitors.

I actually wouldn't want all those screens. That's just tooooooo much. two 20" is just enough.

Finally, a display worthy of being hooked up to Big Mac.

Lets see... One screen for system performance montioring, one for network performance monitoring, one for word, one for iTunes Visualizer, two for Final Cut, one for some TV News stream, one for AppleInsider, one for iChat, one for Unreal, three for Safari, two for Matrix screen savers, two for Photoshop, two for Indesign, one for Soundtrack, one reserved for Stevenotes, and 11 for pr0n.

A little rearranging of the component screens, and you could use this system for some pretty advanced computer gaming.

And people used to think tension wires in apeture grille monitors were annoying.

I think I'll wait for the holographic 10' screen.

I could go for one of those, it might be a few years though...

And I'm all about the Pr0n.
