Deraldin Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 The 102" tv is behind the times. Where is the 108" model that debuted this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Does anyone else think that the line-breaks in the 3-monitor setup would really annoy them? “Things are as they are.

Deraldin Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Does anyone else think that the line-breaks in the 3-monitor setup would really annoy them? I think it would probably bother me at first, however I think I'd get used it over time. It's not like you've got the 2 inch borders on my LCDs like I have on my CRT.

It's not like you've got the 2 inch borders on my LCDs like I have on my CRT. I suppose I'd get used to it, but I think it would still bother me. There's a store here that has a huge multi-display in their TV department - maybe 20 or 50 screens or something to make one giant screen. It has no individual borders around each screen, but the breaks are still highly visible and disruptive to visual flow, imo. The 100"+ TV set I wouldn't mind having, tho...except I doubt our living room would be big enough to sit a proper distance away from it. hehe “Things are as they are.
