That would be nice for the way I currently use them (dedicated to a single
machine). But it would be of no value when using the Synergy software since
it needs more then one monitor to do anything.   The Seiki 39" (3840x2160)
TV mentioned via the BLU thread would force me to get a bigger desk if I
wanted more then one monitor.  OTOH, it is available shipped from Walmart
at the moment for $350.   That is less then I paid for the 2560x1440 27" auria
at Microcenter two years ago and I would end up with 60% more pixels
on my desk.
