alanschu Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I just don't dig those three screen panoramas. If I have to start turning my head, I think I'm probably going to prefer something more like the Oculus Rift or some other type of VR headset. Might be different if monitors had minimal borders around their screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I definitely couldn't sit at chair/desk distance with panorama's like that. I'd get whiplash neck or something. From farther away, it might be fine, but then it would seem too small unless the screens were a lot bigger, which of course means I'd want to sit father away... But regardless, yeah ... expensive, for gaming at least. For 15k+ I'd rather have a hi(ish)-res 60+" TV for film watching, instead. “Things are as they are.

ManifestedISO Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 IMO the idea of multi-monitor setups is to engage your peripheral vision while staring straight ahead. I would think the whole point is to move your eyes, not your head. That 4K setup looks like it was only put together because it could be. All Stop. On Screen.

Keyrock Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Until they make monitors with MUCH thinner bezels that are actually affordable, I'm not splurging for a multi-monitor setup.

syn2083 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 i was never a fan of multi monitor gaming, the borders kill it mostly for me, seeing giant black lines between screens is to jarring for me.. and beyond that the cost of this setup is ridiculous. -Crash the silence for the sake of memory- Computer Problems or Questions?
