Independent of the operating system

Seamless Displays has two revolutionary products in its portfolio ?C the Radius 320 and the Horizon 320. From what I've seen, if you decide to buy one of them, you will no longer need a PC monitor, which is a nonentity if it is confronted with these triple huge widescreens, and the old TV set will be a bygone.

I'll explain why. The Radius 320, the first monitor, incorporates three 20.1" LCD panels into a continuous display system with a total resolution of 5.76 million pixels. With the individual panels wrapping around you, the Radius 320 provides a viewing experience across a 50-inch diagonal. What do you say about that? All you need is a speaker system and you'll have the best home entertainment session ever.

You don't have to worry about the boundary between the three panels because you will never even guess it is there. Seamless Display created a special technique to cover the margins by placing a lens in front of each panel to stretch out the borders. Therefore, the extended borders generate the same clear and unremitting picture.

On the other hand, as it is independent of operating system, the Radius 320 can be used on Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems, but you will need sufficient video cards to support 3 DVI outputs at 1600 x 1200 resolution.

Using three 20-inch LCD screens in portrait mode with Seamless Display's special LCD-tiling technology, the manufacturer was able to eliminate the pixel-to-pixel gap of almost 1-inch between each screen. The Horizon 320 offers a 40-inch viewing area with nearly 6 million pixels, making it the world's highest resolution LCD display system.
