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****

Who would need a five panel monitor anyway?

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 quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
