... - that means a screen diagonal of 1.3
metres - and yay! -> Oolite at 1920 * 1080 pixels!
Space all around me! It's like the Captain's seat suddenly - I'm in the game! The immersion is great.
When docking at stations, there is the real feeling of flying into something now!
My laptop still takes this without getting noticably slower! An already great game just got even greater
Just had to share that

I'm sitting at my desk, looking at my 19" Iiyama, trying to envisage that. 52".....and to think I first saw Elite on a 10" green line box. Wow!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Gotta go with the 24" 1920 x 1200 .. Not as big as your 65", DH, but close up it's better...
I shot him back first. That is to say, I read his mind and fired before he would have fired on me. No, sir, he wasn't a fugitive.

I've got screen envy now
17" CRT and 10" notebook, so my two screens don't even come to half of yours!

It's actually really cool that this game actually gains from being viewed on a screen of more than a squaremeter surface
No complaints here ...

I have to say "pics of it didn't happen"!
Mainly because I just want to drool!

15 inch laptop LCD screen.
Epic fail.
And to think I was impressed that I finally managed to get shaders working! Ah well...baby steps...

I do promise to make some photos, preferably with Oolite running!
It was an occasion, still costed a bit more than 1200 euros, but my girlfriend & myself decided to go for it as we have no occasion for a real get-away holiday this year, to afford it.
Shaders also weren't easy on my laptop. I had inexplicable crashes with full shaders on, realised that it had to be my graphics card. Latest drivers from NVIDIA solved the problem for me, luckily
Cheers

I like that idea! We would also need extras so that we can see the plasma tourets fire, and if we can control them... but we need to fly, so we would need "Friends..."
Don't panic

A cool idea, with two showstoppers (?):
1) It would cost me another 3600 euros for the other three screens
2) Would it be even possible to build the option into Oolite to show all four screens? In principle, it should, shouldn't it?
And when at it, the search for the ultimate joystick and a little cockpit for the four screens would be the next step then ...
