120 sq ft 15MP Rear Projection Video Wall Build

120 sq ft 15MP Rear Projection Video Wall Build - (How to build the ulitimate gaming wall for less than a new TV at Best Buy)

Hi All:

I read a lot, but rarely post. I just wanted to share my ultimate creation. I feel like this is how eyefinity should be done. I had to promise my wife I would never bring home a bigger screen and mean it this time. The build took us (my brother and I) all week after work, and it was finished at 2:30ish AM this morning. It still needs color balancing, calibration and such, but it is presentable.

Some specs:

    For those that are not familiar with using FPS limiter, here is a link to another version with explanation as to what it does and what its good for.

    Rusty Hearts: Multi-Monitor Surround Feature Showcase

    Just got done producing a cam/fraps combo video showing Rusty Hearts when played in ultra wide resolution across multiple monitors.

    The resolution used here is 5940x1200 and the game works great, no slowdowns and no flaws in gameplay. A few cosmetic errors and room for improvement but definitely working.

    Rusty Hearts - First Impressions

    Have another first impressions review for you.

    This is the new Free to Play MMORPG from Perfect World. It's available now on Steamworks (Steam) as open beta.

    Deagle and I put about 4 or 5 hours into it today and despite the general sour taste I have developed for free to play games I think that this one gets the thumbs up from me.

    About the game:

    It's a MMORPG - Meaning Massive Multiplayer Online with (Action) RPG elements. Rusty Hearts in particular seems heavily anime influenced. You can go online and create a character on a server and then anybody else on that server will be online with you in a centralized town area.

    From here you can chat and socialize and most importantly get your quests and form parties so that you can go into the dungeons.

    Hard Reset - First Impressions

    I got Hard Reset the day it was released on Steam.

    ...have about 3 hours in and just wanted to say I really like this game so far.

    Really takes me back to the days when a shooter was based on shooting, skill, fast reflexes and just having fun.

    Kind of has that old school Unreal Tournament 2004 feel but merged in with another game that I really liked called Singularity.

    Battlefield: Bad Company™ 2 Update Released today with fixes for multi-monitor users

    According to my Steam account, there is an update today with fixes especially aimed for multi-monitor users. Hopefully this fixes some of the problem our users have had:

    Battlefield: Bad Company™ 2 Update Released

    - Removed some memory leaks
    - Fixed crashes when the game attempted to render lots of content (high detail, high FOV or multiple-monitor modes); this should particularly help multi-monitor users
    - Chat window no longer causes lag spikes
    - Chat window reworked opacity & visibility-time is controllable through settings in settings.ini

    HEX Editing Tutorial Updated

    I found this great forum post from Tanuki that outlined all of the common HEX values for resolutions and aspect ratios. I've added it to our existing HEX Editing Tutorial. This information should be immensely helpful for people working to find Eyefinity and Surround solutions, when "simple" fixes such as .ini and Registry tweaks fail.

    Over the weekend we re-launched the WSGF Cafe Press Store with a host of designs from AussieTimmeh.
