- gosix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25Seamless LCD's, wireless bra's...what's next?
- MackPrime, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25uhh... good luck finding wallpapers.
- adamdigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Hello Adam,
Thank you for your interest in the Radius320 today.
We are in a pre-production phase for the Radius320 now - hence the CAD images on the website. We expect to be in full production Q1-2007.
The price is $15,995 USD. This model is aimed at the Oil & Gas markets. We are taking orders now, so let me know if you would like to be put on the waiting list.
Best regards,

Subject: pricing
What is the pricing of all your products? - ButoSha, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21Yes, now where did I place the copy of Quake?
- allenthar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16@tpaine:
That would be Supreme Commander, which is shaping up to be one of the coolest RTS's ever made.
http://www.supremecommander.com - jamauss, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17How about wireless electricity?
That's what makes up most of my wires these days anyway.
And yes, I'm aware of batteries. :) - j00fek, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16pretty sick setup, wonder what the price is....hah
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11JC Denton - your monitor has arrived!
http://www.visualwalkthroughs.com/deusex/liberty2/liberty2.htm#36 - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Cholito: please learn to read. Thank you.
- jamauss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I would've dugg that previous story if I had seen it. No need to get your panties in a bunch and get conspiracy theorist over it, though. Honest mistake/coincidence probably.

- fifrenzy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7If you're looking for a graphics card to support this baby, check out Matrox's Quad DVI PCI graphics card for a cool $769.99.
http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=750875 - vikingcoder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Simply stitch together multiple wallpapers or create some sort of shifting, even escheresque, collage.
- smb3d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7There's plenty of websites with multiple monitor wallpapers. www.9xmedia.com has several for three and four display setups.

"Please enter your details and we will contact you finalize payment and arrange shipment." - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8But you can bet they will still group anyway, won't they!
- Ikioi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I don't know if its the same way that past companies did it, but how this was available before with walls of monitors years ago: they supplied you with "connectors" which were plastic seams that acted as lenses to fold the edges together. Then special display drivers stretched/scrunched the pixels on the edge so that they looked normal under the edge lenses.
Personally, I'd rather buy a cheaper kit like this, and use my own monitors. I don't know who needs 3 24" monitors, but 3 very cheap 17" or even 15" monitors would be pretty impressive at a much lower cost. I think once you get large enough, you may as well just consider a projector.
I wonder if they use a seam lens or have actually physically brought the screens within under .5mm of each other (anything more would not be considered a "shadow", IMO). And, with the screens so delicately put together, just imagine the headaches of trying to move this thing without the screens separating, or worse, pressing into each other. - tpaine, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9dual/multi monitor setups don't work in 99% of all games :-(
There is a new RTS that's coming out that will support it however, though I forget the name. Battlesomething-or-rather i think. You can zoom in really close or zoom out and see the entire field. Dual monitor can be setup to have two different views at all times. - NtHammer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5if it was curved that would def create some kind of distortion or just make it harder to read, tihnk about it, and that would probably be very hard to manufacture
- LabThug, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5$15,995 USD?!
For ~ 1/3 the price I can get eight screens. True, they are not "seamless" but its eight frigging screens!!!!
http://www.digitaltigers.com/multi-monitor.shtml - jamauss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Wow, way overpriced at $15,995 USD
I could get about 20 of Dell's 24 inch widescreen LCD's for that price.
A competitive price for that thing would be beween $4,000 and $5,000, regardless of target market. - ethicalhacker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4IBM did something like this for LLNL a while back, but it was on a much larger scale. They used dozens of displays. It's good to see this stuff hit the consumer market.
- rhett, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I've been using at least 2 lcd's for years, and I've always wondered if there is some LCD that will let me just cut off part of the side paneling so I get a seamless display like that. It seems to me like a lot of people want a seamless display.
I hate websites for products that don't list a price. It's the first thing anyone wants to know about a product, and not listing it means they're obviously playing some sales game with their cutomers. - Vulcan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The length axis is vertical, rather than horizontal, but try looking at the 4000 pixel samples on (warning: contains nudity; not workplace safe):

I'm not sure whether I'm lusting after the models or the Phase One P45 scanning back the photographer uses. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Hardcase: the problem is that most AGP motherboards don't have two AGP slots, so you'd have to install a PCI card which is very limited in bandwidth. Although, there are quite a few PCI Express motherboards that have two PCIe x16 or x8 slots (AFAIK you can use an SLI board with SLI disabled for quadruple-head).
- NightRush, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Happens all the time.
Nice, LCD. but they should make it smooth, a even curve throughout. - justin22290, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@jamauss
There is such thing as wireless electricity the antenna is extremely loud and isn't that effective. Also having free energy flying around could fry computers ;)

$ 10,450 - kazem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I think I'd actually be a lot happier with that thing at work. I use 4 virtual desktops all the time....and they're totally full. It gets hectic.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah, it looks like if you maximised a window, it would maximise across the whole thing instead of just one segment, so you'd have to manually size it. That would get really annoying after a while.
- vikingcoder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's three 20.1" LCD monitors stitched together. The recommended video card setup is two NVIDIA 7900s.
datasheet: http://www.seamlessdisplay.com/downloads/SeamlessDisplay_Radius320.pdf - Tezgno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2There was another company about 6 years ago (I believe they were called Firestorm PC) who had a very similar monitor (don't believe it was seamless though). It had a resolution of 3072 x 768 and, at the time, cost about $6,000. This one appears to have a much higher resolution so it can only be better than the other one.
Edit: Just noticed that the monitor was made by Panoram. If anyone is interested, here is a link to the monitor: http://www.panoramtech.com/products/desktop.html - jacks0n, on 11/04/2007, -0/+2Something's missing. Linux.
- dilbertland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Actually quite of few games support multiple monitors...
http://www.matrox.com/mga/3d_gaming/surrgame.cfm
The hard part is finding a card with 3 outputs...
doh, above post beat me by a minute.... - EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Any LCD I've ever taken apart (sans early adapter ones) have very little on each side of the LCD itself. I see no reason why I couldn't make one close to that myself.
- Hardcase, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5No, but most operating systems have this new feature that lets you put multiple video cards in one computer ALL AT THE SAME TIME! No, really! It's new, though, so you may not have heard of it just yet.
- snownskate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It appears to me that those sharp angles at the psuedo-seams are going to cause a distortion. I think if it's going to be seamless it should be a gentle curve...that being said I can't wait until we see multiple input projectors that serve this same function.
- bieber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They should offer a bundle deal with the Matrox triple-head box, so you don't need an insane video card, or multiple video cards, to use it. Or else just build in the same functionality, which would be preferable...
- caustikBT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Actually, any game that allows for custom resolutions and custom FOV's should allow support for multiple monitors. Of which most mainstream games offer that, but a few dont support FOV mods due to online play fairness.
- myfanwy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@Ikioi
have you got a link for that? sounds interesting and a lot more affordable - socokoolaid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2From the picture it appears that windows is interpreting it as one big monitor (I've never noticed a merge monitors option, but note the task bar. This is not how my multi monitor setup acts). It also appears kinda small, like 3 - 15" LCD's or something. It definitely doesn't appear to be the equivalent of 3 - 19" LCD's. I'd have to see it in person and see it's performance to even consider this. If the price is really $10,000 then screw that POS. :p Get 3 - 17" or 19" for $350 to $500 each and be happy.
- dilbertland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I ran a 3 monitor setup for years using the Matrox Parhelia card and I can say you adjust quickly to the small gaps between the monitors. After a few days I barely noticed them. Seamless is very nice for first impressions, but I don't think it matters much once it's been sitting on your desk for a month.
Also in response to shillbert's comment. The matrox card driver let you set how individual programs were opened (e.g. across all 3 monitors, across 2, just in 1, or even some random size - say 1/4 screen in the upper right-hand corner of the 3rd monitor,etc.). After you opened every program once, you never had to worry about it again. - quietbob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.3dna.net/products/skies.htm
close to seamless wallpapers - Jozer99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@tpaine
Yeah, most games are single monitor only, however you can get around it with one of those Matrox DualHead2Go or TripleHead2Go thingies, which seem really nice, their only limitations being VGA only, and 1280x1024 resolution maximum per monitor. Also, I have never heard of any half decent graphics cards with 3 or 4 outputs. I know Matrox has some old ones, but those are basically only good for 2D stuff such as spreadsheets. It would be nice if nVidia or ATI made a consumer (or cheap professional) card that could drive that many monitors without resorting to dual cards (perfomance always sucks with those when dragging apps between windows or running one app across screens driven by different cards). Right now I run a triple head setup with 3 19" LCDs. I have a PCIe 16x Radeon X800 XL, and a PCI Radeon 7500. The PCI card performs pretty terribly. - ramsinks.com, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1so, where is a real picture?
- Koosebane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+116ms response time?
No, thank you. - dubloe7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1you're kidding right, making it so things dont group on the taskbar is one of the first things i do to a fresh install of windows.if you dont like grouping turn it off.
