    Just to quote some 'facts' (since I'm sure people will question the validity):

    Eyefinity transparently handles the combinations of monitors as one virtual monitor.

    They allow economical stacking of monitors instead of paying exponentially for more space. The human eye is more responsive to horizontal versus vertical change, and if using an odd x odd grid of monitors, bezels at the edge of your vision will vanish with play, as it has been proven that static objects at your periphery disappear over time.

    A 19" monitor consumes under 30 watts. Adding two more will make the total consumption ~90W. I'm not sure how this is significant. A 30" Dell consumes:

    147 W.

    HM.

    Also, let us not forget progress towards LED backlit LCDs as well as OLEDs.

    Furthermore, there is no reason to enable AA / AF at such high resolutions. If I recall the rationale correctly, the higher the resolution you go, the less image smoothing you need. This is why Left4Dead is playable at 11 megapixels.
