The monitorific goal

July 30, 2013

As many of you know I am a big fan of multiple monitors. I currently have 4 monitors connected to my system, with the option of adding an iPad via AirDisplay. While visiting the Longbeach aquarium with some friends I saw a new attraction, a fully immerse Google Earth experience. There are five 55″ Samsung 1080p displays turned sideways in a semi-circle, with the user just slightly outside the edge. It is a tall setup and would work well with my standing desk idea. Flying around Google Earth was incredibly impressive and made me feel like I was physically going to fall over at times.

Now to price this beast out…

Looks like I can currently get the monitors for about $4,200. The computer to power it will be at least that expensive too!
