There is no agenda. I just dislike false information. :)
Also impressive and clean set-up.

You bring up some valid points about Multi-Screen gaming.

I too thought the bezels would annoy me, find it hard to focus on a single screen...
Eventually you learn to focus on the central screen and your peripheral vision picks up the action on your side panels.
Eventually your brain turns off to the fact  there are even bezels present.
I have been eyefinity gaming since the Radeon 6000 series of GPU's released which would be almost a half decade ago now.

Is it for everyone? Hell no. Nor would I expect everyone to jump aboard.
There is a stupidly large cost involved in terms of initial set-up and the need to upgrade to the highest-end components available on the market which also requires a degree of technical capability both for the hardware and software.

As for a 1080P projector... Not to be a resolution snob... But I cannot stand 1080P and below, that's a last century resolution :P
I endure it for a few console exclusive titles, but overall, prefer 1440P - 4k gaming.
Nothing stops you from getting 3x - 6x projectors though... ;)
Personally I dislike projectors due to their poor performance in area's with substantual amounts of light.

I prefer to game in a nearly dark room, best shadow detail and nothing but the screen in your sight :) As for 1080p, it's fine on aprojector, you don't sit right on top of it. Sure, it could be better yet overlapping projectors is not something I want. Even if you can get it seamless you still have an area with overlap and thus decreased black level. (Nevermind quadrupling the amount of fan noise over your head!) I'm waiting for 4K projectors to become affordable before upgrading anything.

At least it won't be a total shock going to VR from 1080p blown up to wall size :) The resolution is still going to take a big hit, OR is about the same as sitting at half screen width from my projector, even a bit closer. That's some big pixels to get over 90 degree fov.

That setup was stupid expensive too yet I spend most my money on good speakers which will last decades. It's a shame that sound almost always gets overlooked in reviews. I recently watched Max Max Fury road, yeah it's only 1080p, but the sound :) It was almost 2 weeks ago yet I'm still energized by it lol. (hard to get the house all to myself to 'burn off the dust from the amp') Insterstellar, kinda a noisy mess in the IMAX theater I went to, pure bliss at home.

Games still have a way to go to reach that level of energy. It's fun when they try. The witcher 3 has adaptive music yet sometimes seemed to get stuck in an loop, battle music ending about 5 times in a row in slight variations. I was hoping KZ SF was the start of next gen sound, with MADDER real time sound reflections, yet seems we're back to the standard filters again. 1080p might seem old to you, yet I'm tired of those default sound effects, filters and badly balanced sound effects in general. Where's my 96khz / 192khz gaming!

Anyway you found your way with eyefinity. I've been into projectors since my university days. First one was a second hand CRT projector which I played FF7 on. Talk about low res :) It also accepted upto 800x600 from PC which was pretty decent at the time. Start trek Elite force was a lot of fun on that. And no lag with CRT, shutter glasses simply worked on anything. Not everything is better nowadays.
