Ok I'm starting to see why you are confused now.  No Oograx... you are thinking that because the hud is in a slightly different position that you are missing what would normally be to the left of the hud on a single monitor display.  That is incorrect... you still have the same field of view on the center monitor 1680x1050 the hud has only shifted slightly.

[oograx]

No, the hud isn't moved over anywhere, everything is enlarged and the sides you would normally see are under the black.. Yes, you have MORE peripheral vision to the far sides but you lose vision close to the center that you would normally have. Actually now that I think about it it's really not that much more vision for the two extra monitors.

Wow.  You really are confusing yourself further now.  Same resolution, same fov on your center monitor as it would be one a single monitor setup.  I don't know how I can explain it anymore simply.

Maybe watch the video and see what I am seeing?

I really don't see this being that great for FPS's.  I mean you do gain a very small boost to you're FOV but,  Just getting a larger monitor should provide near the same thing. 

I'm not a very big fan of the black line crap and that goes especially for shooters.  It makes it a little harder to see because it's so far out of you're sight.  My opinion would be just getting something that's big enough for your straight sight and not something that you have to be aware with peripheral vision.  Then again, that's just my opinion.

I don't see how buying a larger monitor would support the same thing at all, you're just taking the same FOV and extending it over a larger space.  A typical monitor is 16:9, this is effectively 48:9.

They don't make really big 48:9 monitors.


All in all, I'm too poor for lots of big pretty monitors, and I always play on one monitor anyways so I can keep things like vent/skype/the internet visible on the other since I'm really ADD and can't focus on a single thing for more than 15 seconds at a time.  (At level 60 in WoW I used to alt-tab and read forums during Gluth's fear in Naxx.  Yes, the 6 seconds of fear took too long to hold my attention, so I alt-tabbed to read stuff during that time.  And still got #2 DPS SUCK IT BITCHES I'M FUCKING AWESOME.)

I think we're all missing the biggest issue here, can you image these three pictures, all displayed side by side, all in glorious high-def?  I can't, because I think I'd instantly explode in my pants.
