The ATI Radeon 5XXX Thread

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.

The Dell is a 30" H-IPS panel. A typical 26" IPS panel consumes 135W. A typical 20" IPS panel consumes around 80W. You are comparing essentially the a cream of the crop panel that is typically seen in very high end televisions compared to a low end computer display, a panel technology that's so bad nobody would ever consider selling it on the television market.
