I got to play a flight simulator thing on a 7 projector 360 degree setup the other day and I really loved (who wouldn't lol

). I was kind of considering eyeinfity today, but then I though, how about a triple projector setup? Aside from the cost of the projectors and a somewhat big empty room, are there any other major drawbacks you can see?

I really love the thought of not having bezels.

That would be epic but you'd need a massive room.

Ya but having a wall sized screen as opposed to 3 monitor screens is more imersive.

rather than just have 3 projectors shining on one flat wall. you would still need to turn the left and right inward some how.

but you need big room to do it in, and if you go any smaller than 80inch screen I wouldn't do it. 100-120 inch screen x3... awesome.

I have a 100" screen now that I some times plays on but it's still not same, well no where near like it is playing on my 2560x1400. I'm just more comfortable playing pc games at a desk personally than sitting on my couch playing on my 100"
