Quintet TFT Displays

5 TFTs
I’ve had a dual TFT set-up for quite a while and couldn’t work without it. I will upgrade to triple TFTs at some point in the future once funds allow. That is until I saw these 5 TFT models, they make my dual TFTs look like something out of the dark ages. Just imagine the sheer amount of information you could display on that desktop (though you may need binoculars to read the furthest away screens.

The maximun resolution that these beasts run at is 19200 x 2400 or 46,080,000 pixels, which is absolutley crazy. You can even purchase an TouchScreen functionality option.

The range is called the Athens and you can find more info here. I do search the site and associated store for a price but to no avail, I find this generally means if the price isn’t listed I can’t afford it.

If the triple TFT option is affordable I’d be strongly tempted to go with that on my next upgrade but I think I’ll just have to dream about the Quintet display for now. If anybody gets one please send us a pic to publish here (but no gloating).

How hollywood is that? That workspace is crying out for radars, protien folding displays, SETI progress and other pointless-but-cool visuals…

Moving the mouse from the left screen to the right could be classed as an exercise routine

This reminds me of the film “Swordfish” where there is also a 5-LCD panel integrated to form a single multi-network screen. Cool!!

Oh I soooo wan’t one of those beauties - But damn, what graphics card would you have to get to support that kind of setup?

If this is a fake I’ll feel a bit of a sucker but looking at the site the store has no prices and everything does seem a bit too good to be true. I think I may have to put on my dunces cap, can anybody confirm either way if this another joke product?

Why would someone bother to fake that?

It’s not funny.

The specs seems sensible (Well, sensible considering

Also it would have spent someone a really long tme to fake all of that site and the images etc…

Maybe it is a fake - but I seriously doubt it…

The Geek In Me..

This is beautiful. I know, I know. I have no use for one, but it looks awesome. Someone commented on Coolest-Gadgets.com that its a fake, but provided no proof. Either way, its pretty sweet….

Uh, wasn’t this posted - and then debunked - on Gizmodo and/or BoingBoing a few weeks ago?

[...] If being made a plonker off with our report on the Quintet TFT Display we thought it only fair to find something better and *real* to report on. Digital Tigers produce multi-screen displays ranging from the boring dual TigerVista Duo right up to the monster 8 screen zenview Atlas priced a dollar short of 5K. [...]

[...] We got fooled by the Quintet Screen hoax then we found these monster displays. Sheer class. [...]

YES - L-COMPUTER is fake. this should be well known by now. just do some googling. cool site, fake products. bizarre.

If multiple monitors is your thing though you definitely need to follow up with a visit to 9XMedia and CineMassive Displays. Especially if you don’t like the digitl tigers duck foot stand look. Also, I think cinemassive let’s you put a duo on dual independently adjustable arms so you can get them to float around like an old iMac. And 9x Media has some pretty killer lcd walls - full walls of coordinated lcds. millions and millions of them.
