So, - Size matters does it? ;-)
Well, multi screen displays are big business now. At the ECTS computer
games show last August, in London, I saw a shoot-em-up being played on a
triple flat screen display. Looked good, but I reckon you would need
eyes in the back of your head to play it. You might develop tennis-match
syndrome, with your head constantly moving from side to side.
Even Dell will sell you double LCD screens (1100 USD) or triple LCD
screens (1900 USD). You have to play around with your graphics card
though. Three screens will usually require three graphics cards, but a
better solution is a multi-graphics card which will support several
monitors.
Plasma displays (42" upwards) cost from 4,000 USD upwards.
Or why not have one of the wall screen displays? Spread the picture over
a wall of flat screen monitors. Go on, you deserve a good Xmas present!
