Gaming Experiences

Sticker shock aside, six monitors is a doozy of an experience. We don't get nauseous when playing games, but when that much of your view is in motion you might want to keep a paper bag around. Playing Tom Clancy's HAWX was an absolute trip. You actually feel like you're looking out of the cockpit of a fighter plane, sans the g-forces. DiRT 2 also provided a fantastic experience. Playing in hood mode or even inside of the car gave us an immediate connection to the rallying world, mostly because the width of three monitors is pretty darn close to the width of a real car--we're talking over 60 inches wide here. A real Subaru Impreza WRX is roughly 68 inches wide.
Supreme Commander 2 also looked amazing, although we have to add that you need to increase the mouse sensitivity if you hope to move across the screen with any level of quickness. DEFCON: Everybody Dies, think of the movie WarGames brought to life, on a screen this large--you might as well be in NORAD slinging nukes across the world.

First-Person Shooters

First-person shooters across six monitors simply do not work. The crosshairs on just about every game will line up perfectly with the bezel, which means you're constantly looking at a black bar and trying to aim with it. The effect is even worse when you turn on bezel compensation, which means you'll never even see your crosshair. Of course, there's nothing wrong with switching down to three monitors with games like these. The other three can still be used to run Web browsers, videos, and whatever else you want.

Desktop Usage

Gaming is only one use for the setup. Daily computing is absolutely mind-boggling and probably the chief reason you'd want to get the entire setup. Why minimize windows when you can leave everything up and running? Use two monitors for Photoshop, another one for Web browsing and IM clients, another for videos, and do whatever else you want on the other two you still have empty.
