| Thanks for your reply! Here's some more details: I already have 3 projectors from another project that I would like to use for this. So I would only need 2 more. That opens up more of the budget for other hardware/software. The projectors I have right now were about $3k each, so they are decent pro... |

| Thanks for the love :) For the games that support it, the 'widescreen hack' coupled with the 'Aspect Ratio=Window Size' renders it in the full width of the screen, 24:9 format. Since Wii games natively only support up 16:9, it is a 50% increase in "viewable space". The AR of this setup is modest. I ... |

How about some videos then?

| I have done exactly as Brad shows, albeit with 4 units... I have made a 4x2 screen array (2x2 eyefinity group) and can confirm that these units work very well under Eyefinity. I wanted to call some attention to another notable difference between this and a DH2G...the signal power. Just as Brad had i... |

But the fact that you tested it on the Sapphire is sad news. I have had hit-or-miss flakiness with dp adapters and cables though...do you stil... |

| Haha, that's an impressive build. And I'm usually not a fan of even numbered lines, with the ultra thin bezel I think it works well. FPS games oughtta put the crosshair right at the center, right? :P This is something I think I'd have to see in person. Yeah, my crosshairs are just a few pixels wide... |

1600x1200 per cube, 4x2 cubes, so 6400w x 2400h = 15.36 Megapixels.
No bezel compensation, it is done physically (The units have motors to adjust LCD alignment, 2-4 pixels are projected behind the mullions of the screens.) |

| Obscure surplus sales for the win! If you read the lengthy blog post it will go over how much it cost and the whole ordeal. A lot of work, yes, but well worth it. Unfortunately, due to lack of adapters and DH2Go's, I still can't tell you how tri-fire runs on a 3x2....I am forced to currently run on ... |

| Thanks guys. Overkill? Probably. My wife agrees. Due to lack of active adapters (I have only 2) I have to use all 3 cards separately, an eyefinity group of 2 on 2 different cards, and a group of the 4 middle ones on the 3rd card. After i get another $50 for 2 more active adapters, I will get 6 monit... |

Hope it's in the right forum, as it is projection, albeit rear projection. I had to promise my wife I would never bring home a bigger screen and mean it this time. Th... |

| Well, I don't need it checked anymore; it won't work. Evidently no adapters can push quite as much bandwidth as the RAMDACs on the cards base ports they were designed to run off of. It won't fly. Dammit. Now it look like I have to get 4x Displayport editions for ~$900 just to run the extra 2 screens... |

That is the last problem in my quest before I can buy...I read of some people having flickering issues running WUXGA on... |

| Thanks for your replies, guys. @StickyGreen: The 'Analog' version of the DH2G only supports SXGA per screen, not UXGA. So, I will be using either the Digital or DP versions, which both support UXGA. Ironically, the INPUT to the 'Digital' version is still analog VGA, even though the outputs are DVI. ... |
