I would guess pretty bad, since the center of the action would be a bezel.

the entire field of vision... isn't it like just one big 16:9 screen?

I would say just get a 65" DLP tv.

it's cheaper and u don't have to dowal with ultimonitor setups.

This is like the "omg I want 2x Triplehead stacked" posts, all you get is a 16:9 screen broken into bits. Get a projector people, cheaper and much, much better looking.

Not sure if that was facetious, but frankly if the screen is outside the foveal area of the eye then resolution is pretty irrelevant.

I keep forgetting this is a gaming forum, my preferences are probably slightly different from the rest of you ;)

Well if you're talking trading stock or something similarly intensive on screen space there're better solutions than the TH2Go...multiple graphics cards in a motherboard with 3-4 PCIe slots is likely less hassle and more reliable.

Go triple projector and lose the bezels for less cost. I think they're less than on the level by calling it a "6 screen monitor". It's 6 monitors mounted on VESA stands. You'll need to push cables to each of those displays seperately. There is zero different from just picking your own LCDs and getting a few Ergotron stands.

"...The screen includes five inputs per panel..." I don't see how that's a "six-screen monitor". It's six nice monitors on a nice stand and your system will see it as such.

That is an excellent, excellent point. And the site should be renamed:

I've got enough money for something like that, but it's just idiotic. I'm quite sure that my 60" Sony SXRD would give a much better experience without all those annoying bezel lines.

You cant possibly compare the two. Unless youre... well stupid.
