Advice on Multiple display setup for a Cafe?

I'm not sure I'm asking in the right place, but we want to set up multiple displays in a Cafe, about 8 TVs/monitors and have them all display the menu digitally, controlled by one PC unit. Is this possible? what kind of displays will we need and what type of software? any advice at all would be helpful!

It's possible, but really expensive to setup. Either

  1. A wired setup, with 3-4 2 graphics cards, 2 MST hubs, and a lot of cables.
  2. A wireless setup, with a bunch of Intel WiDi connectors

Both options will work with any kind of displays.

A wired setup, with 3-4 graphics cards with really long cables.

wat. With two MST Hubs, and two AMD video cards (no need to high end since it's for a menu) OP can wire up 12 monitors.

Thanks for the info, it's a big help! we definitely want go wireless, maybe individual USB keys for each display would be an option.
