CES 2005 Day 1 - Walking The Show Floor
TheTechLounge writes "Our second day in Vegas for CES, and our first day on the actual show floor was pretty much what I expected: mountains of new gadgets, people in suits staring at your name tag and scantily clad models trying not to get angry as they are repeatedly photographed. We started our excursion on opening day in the upper levels of the South Hall. Big name companies like ATI, nVidia, AMD, Logitech, and HP were showcasing anything and everything they could fit into their floor space."
I'll have you the trouble...here are the babes
The phantom was at E3 2004 as well, with a massive booth. I even covered it briefly here
Projectors are far better for arraying in terms of joining, but there are still some issues, such as barrel distortion. A straight line projected through a lens will end up curved, particularly at the borders.
I'm curious what it takes to make a no-edge-molding LCD display, such that the edge of the image is the edge of the panel for near-seemless joining.
What's the maximum resolution you can get with a projector?
Courtesy of Projector Central, the current max is:
JVC DLA-QX1G $ 225,000 187.4 lb weight 2048x1536 7000 lumens
Of course, you can get a 1920x1080 projector for an eight of that, or a 1400x1050:
JVC DLA-SX21SU $ 11,995 13.0 lbs 1400x1050 1500 lumens
There are various projects that support monitor arrays, some of them require multiple computers though.
In the article, it says the new units from Shuttle support PCI-E, and Nightreaver says they support AMD64.
