And you want a pony, yes fuck you too.

I'm currently rolling on what is basically is the best setup for quality and performance.
I have two DELL 2407WFP-HC on the sides and a Sony FW900 in the middle as main, with an ati 6970.

While I was at CES last year I saw vizio's 21:9 screen on display realising that even thought it's nearly 1/4 less resolution than eyefinity, true no bezels and no view obstruction on a single screen is the best possible experience, and you don't even need to turn your head.

I'm sick of seeing people spending $2000 on a gaming rig and $175 on a piece of shit panel. May I get some confirmation from this forum that there is high demand for a larger, responsive high-end gaming monitor? I hope I'm not the only one.
 
Honestly for me, size is not that much of a priority. Yes, a big screen is nice, but what good is it if it lags, the image quality is c***, etc.? I'd rather someone make a 22-24" screen with true blacks, no lag, at least 240 Hz refresh rates and a decent compromise anti-glare coating.

Right now I'm typing on a 17" CRT because my main one is due for repairs and the 21" one needs some voltage adjustment and is waiting for the multimeter to arrive... and yes, it's small, it's cramped, but it's not unusable. And it still beats my old SM226BW in image quality.
 
Amen. I just snagged a brand new (!) Sony G520 for $200, at least I'm guaranteed another 5 or more years of not having to look at an ugly LCD even if my FW900 dies today. I suppose I could get another 21", and have one on either side of the 24", 5120x1200, about 250lbs of monitor.
 
Yes, 21:9 screens are interesting for wide perspective gaming. A few years ago I saw one of the old Philips 2560x1080 screens on sale for £999 in the UK.. seemed somewhat of a bargain. The cheapest one I can get locally is double that now.

Still, I'd prefer a 5120x2160 or thereabouts quadhd 21:9 in an ideal world. :) 5x1P gives me 6000x1920, so it's near enough that without bezels. Would only be missing the curved wrap-around effect of multiple screens.
 
It would be even cooler if they could make it semi flexible, so you could curve it for gaming and flatten it out for movies and work.
 
My ideally wouldn't be 21:9, but 21:10, just a wider version of the existing 30" LCD screens but 120Hz
 
Have in mind that unfortunately although the Philips Cinema 21:9 panel is 2560x1080 pixels it only supports resolutions up to 1920x1080. It does not have neither Display port nor Dual link DVI connectors.
There are some 4K displays around from Mitsubishi 56P-QF60LCU, Sony Trimaster and the EIZO DuraVision FDH3601 one at an exorbitant price.

That's sad. So they will all only upscale 1080p and lower content, removing the bars? Dear oh dear, what a waste.

Toshiba 55ZL2G is the latest one I've seen pop into existence that is actually available to buy.. and looking at it, it only has VGA/HDMI 1.4. HDMI should do 3840x2160 at 30hz.. hrmph.
 
If bandwidth is the issue, why not make a single screen or even 3 screens with a hair-width dividers at like 4800*1200, and use 3 connectors?

But not 4!! NO LINES IN THE MIDDLE!!! like this alienware one (looks like total shit in person), or ostendo which uses DLPs. Sure the lines vanish when you're exactly in the middle, but over 6 grand you're trading everything in quality for curvature and lack of bezels, and it's not even 120Hz
 
Heh, I would settle for a 2560x1920 (4:3) panel around 32" ...
