Anyone have any experience using those glasses that make your screen look like its 100" ? I was thinking i could just go back to multiboxing on one machine since there would be enough room to see all followers on that 110". Any ideas?

I believe that the resolution with "most" of those glasses is the equivalent of about 800x600 resolution max (which isn't even close to what you need). About enough to run 1 wow instance.

It would be like taking a bad monitor and putting a giant magnifying glass next to it. Sure it would look big - but that's about it.

size isn't everything... after all.. even 1600x1200 on a 100" monitor will look blocky.

resolution is what matters

personally, i'm waiting for the day they start talking about ppi for displays ... pixels-per-inch

my 22" viewsonic that i'm on now is doing 1680x1050 .. it's 20.6" x 15.3" (according to website.. no tape measure here)
this would yield 82 x 69 ppi

meanwhile, my 1080p aquos 42" does 1920x1080 and it's 40 1/2" x 26 1/2"
yielding 47 x 41 ppi

nice, but nowhere near the 600+ dpi of printers...

Ok so even if limited to 800x600- just make things smaller since they look huge? your main window can me500x400 or whatever, less gpu processing/turn on 16x aa etc... make the font type 2 and itl still be legible....

actually... even if the screen is big... the small size would just result in really big, fuzzy pixels.

the fonts would prolly not be legible

Anti-aliasing!
