HotHardware was able to experience a group of six, 30" Dell 3008WFP panels being used as a single display. At first glance, many would remark, "Why not just use a large HD display or projector and do without the mess of bezels and multiple displays?"
The answer to that query is the fact this system can pump out 24.6 megapixels for high resolution gaming, all at playable frame rates...7680 x 3200 pixel capability versus just 1080p via HDMI. Let's put that into perspective: 2.15 billion transistors capable of 2.72 T/FLOPs of computing power, all in a single GPU. Insanity.
What we really want is an Eyefinity system integrated into a large ultra HD display or projector, because as cool as this technology is, we don't see ourselves stacking monitors en masse, even with the promise of ultra high def resolution. It would not be energy inefficient, decor-unfriendly and very costly. But we think this bodes well for the future of high def content, in both entertainment and application form, and we're sure some committed gamers our there are already salivating.

As a large screen enthusiast I'd have to bow to AMD if they could pull it off. From all of the screen shots I've seen though they've really got to get the bezel area down to size. People do NOT like to see the display bezel running through the middle of their view.

As much as this kind of thing causes me to have a geekasm, it is totally dumb. From a given distance, your eye's can only interpret so high a given resolution. At a some point, there is no longer an appreciable distinction between "high resolution" and "ultra-mega resolution". There are so many other factors to take into consideration like refresh rate, contrast, color accuracy, etc. and putting a bunch of bezels in the way is totally missing the point.
