Here's an in-depth look at our setup. Let me tell you, this is VERY cool for gaming.
The video provides a detailed tour of Linus Tech Tips’ Eyefinity setup using three 46-inch Samsung LCDs driven by an MSI Radeon HD 6870, aimed at an NCIX Tech Tips audience. The host walks through the physical space, showing how the living room is transformed into a showpiece workstation, including a Phantom Lapboard, a wireless Xbox 360 controller, and a dedicated media PC housed in a Silverstone Sugo case. He notes the overall cost of the three TVs and explains that while the displays are not high-end LED backlights, the configuration remains accessible for enthusiasts.
