AMD has released a new video, showcasing Square Enix's THIEF running on a Radeon R9 290X at a mind-blowing 5400x1920 resolution. This tech demo was used to demo the company's new APUs, and five monitors were used that were running the game at native 1080p. THIEF is scheduled for a February 25th release and will support

I would rather spend money on a 4K projector and have gaming on a 10ft screen!
Sitting 3ft from monitors is getting old.  |

They don't even make decent HD (1920*1200) projectors, so don't expect them to make decent 4K ones.

The bezel's been the showstopper for me every time when I wanted to build a multi-monitor setup - apart from the lack of 16:10 displays.
IMHO, the bezel should be max. 1-2mm: its primary function should not be holding the panel, rather, protect it from dust and small bumps. A rubber-coated thin metal frame would do that job. |

That looks a bit more (especially the feet if you want to stack them), but yes, that's the general idea.
@Stumpus
Not everyone has a wall (or a place to set up that white surface thingie).
If you have money to buy a 30000k screen, you'll surely find some extra to buy a Denon and a set of decent speakers.
If you bought 4x60inch 1920*1080 screens and had thin bezel, you would have your wall-sized 4k panel cheaper. |

Of course, but you also have 4 separate panels that could be out of sync with each other due to imperfections during build -you see it enough on News/weather reports, whereby one screen is duller than the other etc.
Also, you have 4 separate warranties and a heap-load of cables to hide!
A projector -like the example i gave above, projects a 66 inch to 147 inch display 20 inches from a FLAT screen/wall. There is nothing other than an HDMI cable running to the projector and -like my own screen it by Duronic

It rolls down into it's own carry case and is completely unobtrusive as it sits about 5 inch high and the same depth. It sits in front of our multi unit that contains the BD player/7.1 unit, Freesat, Yamaha receiver,PS3, Tivo cable box . The two 46" tv's i have then become the 'normal' living room and they are wall mounted above each other.
The Duronic pulls up in front of the switched off TVs (obviously) and voila; home cinema world.
or motorized ceiling mounted.

As you said. space is premium. With a 4k projector you can make *any* 4k panel size for any house. That's the beauty of a PJ.
With a pile of panels it's expensive and full of clutter (brackets to hold them all) and cables, not to mention the HUGE electricity bill running 4 60 inch 4 k panels.
My PJ runs 275W, whether it's projecting a 43" or 300" panel size |

Yes, those problems are real. But it's 30k vs. 10k. Prices will have to come down if they want to sell though.
Actually, I've been a big fan of projectors all the way until my kids were born - I watched Star Wars I on a projector and from there I was hitched. But, with the kids, I'd have holes in the projector screen by now... The TV is harder and it is high up, on the wall...  |

I feel for you. Me and the wife don't have kids, so tech world has been our way for nearly 25 years. I've never been serious, we like to dabble and it's fun!!
Yes your right about costs of PJs but you can get some good deals
Here's a nice 4k one for £4,999

Btw, having 4 panels together would result in one weird scenario. You would use one for viewing normal tv- you wouldn't use all 4! Top left tonight,
Or bottom right?? Lol
You would probably be using about 1,600 Watts of power on those tvs!

Looks neat, but then you find: | Quote: | However, unlike true 4k projectors and TVs, the X55 can’t play native 4k sources. Its e-shift technology is designed to add more pixel density to standard HD sources – no more, no less.

Right, great mind think alike |

Well done.
I admit I just googled for the sake of... If I was buying I would of course spend ages checking true specs etc.
Just like you would (done) too. |
