Yeah...it's at the Gigabyte test site, neither site actually tested 10 monitors in house.
it is the gigabyte office...
as he said, what happens on some reviews is that each site has say 30 mins with the hardware to test at gigabytes office or a hotel room or whatever, then the next site has their turn, its how it works with the more hard to come by pieces
lol, yeah, still there is no comparison between Anandtech and THG....Anandtech is still one of the BEST review sites out there, and THG one of the worst :p:

It's the same pic taken at the same time, but one is doctored. In anand's you can see more in the bottom of the frame (notice the bottom corner of the white box in the center) and either side.

You think one is a photochop? That wouldn't be worth the effort....each site had their own chunk of time to play and took a pic of the 10 display setup with their background.

It could have worked if the camera was on a tripod and the keyboard/mouse that was used was off screen. The wires and kb trays are in exactly the same positions.

Yes, it certainly could be done....but it's certainly not worth it, it's a lot easier to make two backgrounds and then take two separate pictures of them from approximately the same place (or whatever fits well enough).
