Flight simulators on that...

You could have instrument panels dedicated to screens. This makes me happy.

. The four GPUs--each driving six 24-inch Dell LCD monitors--powered a 3D flight simulator across all 24 screens.

I have 3 screens on my laptop at work.

Laptop 15 inch screen (center and primary), laptop second display drive is a 19 inch LCD to my right (secondary) and a USB 2.0 Triton driven 19 inch display on my left.

The Triton display has a horrible refresh rate, so movies are a definite no-go. But, for typing letters, or cutting and pasting from that display to my primary - it’s almost perfect.

So, material I refer to frequently for reference goes on my left hand screen, center for working on, right hand screen for research and simulations.

Can’t imagine going back to 2 screens.

And we have...coming in Oct it says:

CinemaView Displays With Mini DisplayPort Connectors

******************************* EXCERPT**************************

The next generation of CinemaView displays will be equipped with Mini DisplayPort connectors alongside a TV add-on. The new models will be larger than its predecessors and will start with the 24-inch model. The new screen now features four USB ports, 2ms of response time and 1,000:1 contrast ratio. The price still remains at $499 each, but its launch has been moved back two months to October 2009.

Meanwhile, the new CinemaView 47 is a hybrid TV/PC display that comes with similar resolutions as that of a dedicated computer display, although it relies on Mini DisplayPort for input.

One use for this new technology comes to mind ...powering an array of six teleprompters for Obama so we don’t have to watch his head move side to side in oratorical pong.

Bezel-less screen is what must come next ;the intervening 1 or 2 inches of blank black plastic is annoying.Makes it seem as though you are looking out an old French door.

MACs have been able to use multiple monitors for decades!The limit being the number of motherboard slots holding a video card ,and how to stack the monitors.

Driving or flight game with one large screen showing forward view,a little one for inside rear-view mirror,more screens for side windows and outside rear-view mirrors and back windows and ....
