Has anyone tried out eyefinity with MP? (1 Viewer)

[GillBates]

I am looking into having Mediaportal drive the display at a local car dealership, they want to show videos of the cars.

I want to use a 2x2 array of flat screens to present the video using AMD eyefinity to make all 4 screens available as a "single large surface" desktop.

Has anyone tried this? Does it work?

Thanks for your input!

Just to update: I've got it installed and it is aaaaaweeeesomeee!!! I have 4 50" plasma screens running as a single display and MP looks and works great.
I hope to have some pictures and video soon.

Ok I finally got some of the pictures for this, video will be coming soon.

If there's one thing you *have* to know about Eyefinity is that it will support (depending on your video card) up to 6 displays. What you also must know is that you can connect two displays normally but anything more than that must be either a displayport monitor or it must use an *active* displayport/minidisplayport adapter (Valid adapters at AMD -- some of these say passive, those won't work). I had to order the adapters from the US which delayed the project launch.

I'm attaching 2 pictures and 2 screen captures of my MacBookPro using a VNC session to the computer with eyefinity, one of the screen caps has scaling enabled and the other has it disabled... try to figure out which is which . The resolution is insane! The final amount of pixels is more than double that of a 1080 display because of bezel compensation which for video is a must have.
