A new press release from AMD and Samsung gets into the details of the Eyefinity program and those promised “thin-bezel” displays from Samsung.  Also, it gets into a new validation program that AMD is launching to validate and certify both hardware and software for the new technology, hoping to prevent confusions of unsupported configurations.

ATI Eyefinity Validation Program: assembling the ultimate visual computing experience:

  • The new ATI Eyefinity Validation program helps consumers more easily identify products that have demonstrated their ability to enable an outstanding experience with ATI Eyefinity technology.
  • The new “ATI Eyefinity Multi-Display Validation” designation signifies production products that have been tested by AMD’s quality control labs and are known to support ATI Eyefinity resolutions in portrait or landscape modes.
  • The “ATI Eyefinity Multi-Display Ready” designation denotes those products that are known to be compatible with ATI Eyefinity technology through AMD’s testing, or partners’ pre-qualification testing based on AMD specifications and tests.
  • Display devices, DisplayPort adapters, software including games and other applications, and other hardware components will all be included under the program.

The new displays from Samsung look great, but the beauty doesn’t come cheap: An MSRP of $3,099 for the six-screen configuration, and $1899 for the three-screen.
