CES 2009 Report

Gaming

Obviously, the gaming world is huge with the multiple platforms of PC and specific gaming boxes available. While show attendance was down, the over the top hardware available for gaming was insane to say the least.

Other manufacturers offered complete gaming seats, complete with platforms and displays as well, but the price.. well, don’t ask! Here’s the eye candy pictures:

How practical this system is for home use is questionable due to the price, but for military or car simulations.. this has great possibilities.

This first person shooter game, spread out across 3 monitors (one video card in the PC along with a custom 3 way splitter via DVI cable) was pretty impressive. Now think about spreading this game out over 3 CRT projectors without the gaps between screens.. :)
