MassMultiples LCD Screen

Check out the MassMultiples website. Now you can hook up two, three, four or more 18" lcd screens to your pc! Custom configurations, low footprint, and not a price to be found anywhere on the web site. Like anyone cares how much they would cost ..."

Re:Pricing?

I asked a while ago. Here is some info

5) Currently, they all come in black, however we can change the color to your liking, we will need either CMYK # or Pantone #. An extra fee of $400 U.S per unit will be added, unless your order is big, then we can discuss discount.

4) Depends on the number of units ordered, all the 18" line is ready to be shipped with a two weeks from day of order.

3) Single 18" has 1280 X 1024 resolution, if you meant aggregate resolution, then dual 18" will display 2560 X 1024 horizontal. For the triple 18", total aggregate resoultion will be 3840 X 1024

2) Dual 18" is $6,695.00
Triple 18" $9,995.00
Dual 15" is $2,995.00 (four weeks lead time)
Triple 15" $4,895.00 (also four weeks lead time)
ALL PRICES ARE IN U.S

1) If the sun graphics cards have VGA (2 X 15-pin D-sub for analog RGB) then it will work.
You will need a dual video card or two separate video card.

It really isn't that difficult....

Is it? I mean, isn't it the same as hooking up a bunch of monitors to your computer? All you need is one video card per monitor. Let's say I have an Apple Cinema Display 22" LCD hooked up to my Power Mac G4's AGP DVI port. Then I can add another video card (say, an ATI Xclaim VR 128) in a PCI slot and hook up some LCD to that. Then add another video card (like a Voodoo3 3000) and hook up some odd LCD to that. Oh yeah, add one last video card (a Matrox dual-display card) to the last PCI slot and add TWO LCDs to that! that's five LCD monitors! Then just casually turn on the Mac and all five LCDs turn on simultaneously, with the primary LCD showing the Mac logon screen. When the desktop and icons appear, you'll see the default pattern appear on the other four monitors. Open the Monitors control panel and you'll see five monitors.. just lay them out in whatever way you want, pick a primary menu screen, set the resolutions/colors for each. Heck, pick a desktop picture for each one too while you're at it. Hint: try opening Photoshop and creating a desktop picture that spreads across five monitors! Easy, huh? No damn DLLs or other crap. The Mac will automatically detect the manufacturer hardware signature from each LCD and set its capabilities (no files needed). Like I mentioned, it's really not that difficult; just depends on what system you're running on and if you have the money to buy all these LCDs =)
