Two recent high-profile game releases have generated a bit of buzz within the multi-monitor community.

There is absolutely no reason any developer to lock out features based on which video card you purchased.

First was the release of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. This title was "sponsored" by NVIDIA with their "The Way It's Meant To Be Played" (TWIMTBP) initiative. By all accounts the game is a great title, and offered superb "Surround" support. However, it doesn't support TripleHead via the Matrox TripleHead2Go or AMD's Eyefinity.

There is absolutely no reason any developer to lock out features based on which video card you purchased. This type of behavior segments and already small market and will slow the adoption of multi-monitor among users. Why would a user invest in any multi-monitor technology, if they have to worry about developers not only supporting multi-monitor, but their choice of multi-monitor technology.

Digital Projection Debuts Ultra-Widescreen Projector

The dVision Scope 1080p is 2560 x 1080 out of the box, no anamorphic lens necessary. its custom firmware automatically detects and resizes when the letterbox black bars to fill the 1080p field by increasing the number of horizontal pixels.

A pair of these in Eyefinity would provide 5120x1080 total resolution (5.53MP), a 42:9 aspect ratio (4.667:1). This compares to "traditional" multi-monitor resolution of 5760x1080 (6.2MP), a 48:9 aspect ratio (5.333:1). This would provide for an aspect of almost a 3x1 setup, but with about 10% fewer pixels (faster performance) and no bezels.

Deus Ex - Human Revolution Triple Monitors ~4K Video

Submitted by Anonymous on 29 August, 2011 - 08:02

It has been a while since I've been able to get one of my ~4K videos up, Deus Ex is a action / stealth based game, it natively supports multi monitor resolutions and if you can get it to detect that your using Eyefinity it can even centre the HUD for you. Once again if your monitors width is larger then 1920 pixels and you have lots of bandwidth, set the quality to original and play the video in full screen for a much higher quality.
