The big black bars across kind of ruin the immersion

Note 200 amp breaker panel in background. Just how many amps are needed to drive this setup?

That may be part of the carrier....

According to the way I read the article this is one PC driving this.

Yes, but that would be a single display at a max display of like 1920 X 1080, as opposed to 6 displays running at 2560 x 1600, for a aggregate display of 7680 x 3200. Now they just need a single monitor able to display that resolution that’s a good size.

Any action type games obviously could be drastically enhance using system as described here. I am still impressed by these emerging technologies. To think things have come to past that some dreamed about ten, twenty, and longer years back.

Thanks E. I’ll give it a quick read. I tried to get some sleep so that I could get up at 3:30AM tommorow. Today had to be in at 5AM after sleepless night yesterday. I am shot, and will try to get back in bed for a few hopefully hours of sleep.
