You'd need a couple of Nvidia Tesla units to push those pixels in modern games.

And a three phase home electricity supply, since the thing consumes 3.7kw.

Input is 200-240, so you don't need 3-phase. You need a dedicated 30A 220V line, which is MUCH cheaper to install. Chances are if you are running this, you will probably run another dedicated line for your home theater equipment anyway.

I was just being a little hyperbolic.

Aren't the 79xx series cards the only gaming ones to support that resolution?

Wait 5 years and they'll probably be a 'mere' $100k, or so

TBH, I'd expect that size monitor to be very tiring as, unless one is a long way from it, one would have to keep moving ones head and eyes quite a long way, constantly.

According THX and SMPTE viewing standards you need to be a minimum of about 17-18 feet and a maximum of a little over 20 feet to appreciate 1080p at it's best on that size of a screen.

And that's for 1080p, if you have 4K (4096*2160) content, you'd need to be much closer to the screen, probably around 10-12 feet away.

Otherwise there's no point in having the resolution as you wouldn't be able to see the details unless you have some kind of augmented eyesight.

Can anybody recommend a monitor arm for this? I assume it is VESA compliant. Looking to use 3 in portrait mode.

Cheers,

Here you go.

Might need a tiny modification but otherwise you should be fine, and it's only 99 GBP.
