It looks better when the outside monitors are angled in a little. Everything lines up better.

This version is better than the first one he posted (that had problems with the corner-pinning) but the EXIF data still indicates the photo was taken in April of 2001. ~3 years before Painkiller was released. ;)

Would be pretty nice if the PSP could handle that. :)

well, if u look closely u can see that each picture screen is a bit off & the black around the edges is off/different on the 3 monitors which SHOULDN'T happen since they're all identical monitors.Not to mention that i believe this is ONLY possible with a matrox card which I DOUBT any avid gamer wouldv'e bought.
Nice Trick N treat:D

I did notice that the 'curbs' don't exactly line up, especially in the center & left monitors - if this were a real screenshot, they would (one image split between 3 screens).

What is EXIF data?
It's the file format digital cameras use to store meta information about a picture. Every time you make a picture with your camera, things like time and date, aperture, shutter speed etc. are stored together with your picture. Many applications are capable of showing this information (graphic programs), for example (freeware) IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.com). The EXIF data of Fleabays first picture is

i believe this is ONLY possible with a matrox card which I DOUBT any avid gamer wouldv'e bought.
I have 3 monitors. A 9600se which supports 2 and a VooDoo PCI. Yes, the VooDoo is to slow to game on.
With SLI, you can run 4 monitors with quite good speed.
I started to take a pic of my monitors with the images but I would have had to install a program that allowed me to have a different background on each monitor. Also I would have had to round up my camera, cables and install software for it. Besides, I enjoy photoshop and it cost to much to not use. ;)
