<News> - Monitor envy!

saint:

OK - someone build me an arcade cabinet around one of these . . .

Anubis_au:

That would be one huge cab...

MinerAl:

At a computer summer camp back in the 90s we had a "wicked fast" 40MHz Macintosh IIfx with 4 double monitor cards and one single monitor card in it, and did that.

Arrange all nine monitors next to one another in a semi circle around the chair.  Start the mouse at one end and spin and spin and spin it.

We also tried the 3 columns of 3 monitors, but it was hard to stack them close without building a special piece of furniture.

Naru:

How do you spread
one image across so many monitors?
The most I've been able to do is three.
Anyone know the specific set up to
accomplish this?

ahofle:

I think you need some kind of video processor/splitter (at least that's how they used to do it in the department stores with those huge 3x3 matrices of CRT monitors).
