if you look in the gallery, the only pictures they have of the monitor is really zoomed in closeups that could be anything.  there are renderings of the thing, but that doesn't count as a real product.

Wouldn't an image on that thing be totally out of proportion anyway?

well if you do look at the gallery, its basically zoomed in on a single corner of the monitor.  I want it to at least show the entire thing, or as much of it you can fit in a real photo, not a rendering.

edit: i just looked at the other monitors they offer and their recycling the same photos about 3/4 of the time.  i say its bull****

Showing off the size of their.....wallet.

Don't think 5 panels, think 200"....... totally nucking futs regardless, and I doubt they'd actually make them on anything other than a per-person basis, but still impressively insane & show-offy.

The company's "About" page is rather anticlimactic though...

Spoiler:

It's been out of business for a year, and that was rather hard to swallow after looking through their laptops section....guhhhhh
