On Monday my 3 x Asus VW266H 25.5" monitors arrived from newegg, because my overclocked i7/5870 rig was just begging for more pixels (gaming at 5760x1200).
I setup eyefinity (for those of you that are living under rocks, here's the youtube link: Youtube) and everything looked great in my games... for the first hour or so.
After the novelty wore off, it became very annoying to look at things with distorted and stretched ratios, plus the fact that the black bars between the screens really took away from the games' atmosphere.
Then at a friend's house yesterday, I got the chance to play some games on her 50" Samsung HDTV. It was just at 1920*1080 resolution, but sitting from a bit further away games such as Resident Evil 5 and COD: MW2 looked just as good plus the fact that there weren't black bars all over my FOV and images weren't horribly stretched.
On top of this, eyefinity is practically useless in desktop work, because Windows' extended desktop gives you much better productivity as it treats each monitor as a separate display, which is much more organized and easier to work with than having a MASSIVE 5760x1200 single desktop.
So, in conclusion, I dished out $900 for a 3x25.5" eyefinity setup, but IMHO, a $1000 50" HDTV setup would have served me much better.
Larger Format Displays > Eyefinity.
That is all.

I'm displeased that the internet has lead to the degradation of the English language to the point where multiple people merely respond "lol" to a long post about gaming at stupidly high resolutions vs gaming on stupidly big screens. I will take the high ground and use the proper response of something more accurate and less insulting to language and say that I find your attempts of gaming at a resolution of 5760x1200 to be humorous.
