Crazy 16K wide display setup

I guess I don't get the point of having four 4K screens running 30 Hz would be. Why would you need to display so much information at once on one computer over four screens?
 
I guess it would be kind of convenient for some EPIC photoshop/CAD work. Other than that it's just for the "Lookie what i has" feeling I suppose.
 
i could see its use in an ultra hi-res MRI scan to pick up incredible detail & resolution. Other than that, maybe finance, but from the friends i have in that line, 5x 30 inch monitors prove to be enough :). Not even kidding. Some of the traders i have seen have up to 7, in 180 degrees.

He's using 7970s so can run them at 60Hz. And the article states he's working on 4K video.
 
No, the card cannot do 4x 4k streams in mst mode at 60hz.
 
Ah, I've reread and missed that he's operating in SST mode. I'd assumed he was using two cards.

I want to move to PLP with a 4k monitor in the middle. Do any 4k screens go up to/over 60Hz? Are there any (any) monitors out to use as side monitors that would line up nicely to this Sharp PN-K321?

Thanks!


Edit: anyone know if this 4k LED TV is really refreshing @ 120Hz or is it some BS marketing lie?

No it doesn't it runs 120Hz @ 1080P (not currently since it has a firmware problem)
And runs 30Hz @ 4K UHD.

If you want to go beyond that you have to do it yourself again there is no guarantee that the Tcon does above 40 as that is how fast I've tested it yet.
You just need to replace your transceiver board.

4K PLP would have huge distortion due to the very high PPI, unless the screen was 41"-44". If you had a 41" 4K it would be 108PPI, the same as the 27" 1440p monitors. At 44" it would be 100PPI, the same as 30" 1600p. Since Eyefinity/nVSurround do not support PLP anyway you are better off going triple 4K if one monitor is not enough for you.

If referring to my question (you have to be) I would want 4k PLP for the workspace, not for gaming. I'd game on the 4k screen alone (or none at all these days :().

Thanks for the info none the less.

How did you push a Seiki up to 40Hz @ 4k?

I just didn't use a Seiki ;)
My Skyworth has a different transceiver which makes it possible.
Nobody really knows how far the Tcon on the panel itself goes but we do know the panel takes 8.3 mp @ 120Hz if you get around the Tcon and use FPGA logic.

Limitations we currently have are:
LVDS bandwidth limit
Tcon limit
Interface limit (future 600M DP transceivers will get around this though)
 
That setup is kinda bleh for gaming. I'd rather have 3 on the bottom and one mounted up to in the center. I did that with my 30"rs a while back and it was a very good setup.
