    I agree to an extent. I'm not sure I would be able to game on a real theater size screen. I also can't game BF3 on my projector cause it feels weird to look across the room and not at a screen.

    Which is why I'd rather have 3x monitors that push at least 1920x1200 and put them in Eyefinity or Surround.

    If I had a room setup for it I would have no problems. My wall is about 15ft away from my computer desk so it just feels weird. If I moved the table I could do it, but then my cable couldn't reach lol.

    I can't stand the bezels. People say oh you can't see them and I call BS. They are very annoying.

    Edit: Since we're on the topic. I just sent the creator of this portable setup a message asking him if he does 1080p setups yet, and how much a personal setup with a bigger screen would cost. I love the curved screen because it looks more realistic and there is NO monitor setup that can top that.

    Woah! That's pretty slick! But I don't know if the curve would work well with anything else other than a flying simulator or a racing game

    It has a 500 dollar piece of software that pre-curves the render and he said it taxes the CPU pretty heavily. He said a grand will get me the custom portable screen setup with the 180 degree curve and the software with a custom click and go setup file basically. The only thing I don't like is he said it needs to be done with 3 720p projectors due to the throw on the 1080p projectors not being close enough. Not sure I would be cool with 720p considering 1080p is so mainstream now.

    Anywho, I wouldn't mind playing BF3 with a 180 degree screen. See all the things!
