we used iPads b/c we're working on an app for iPads and it was a great way to instantly tell people what we're doing and it's just plain cool. most of your technical points are valid, but we wouldn't have enough power to run nine monitors at our booth. most importantly, no one would look twice at a massive monitor wall at comic-con. they're a dime a dozen and all of the big players have jumbo-tron style walls. we had loads of people comment on the iPad wall today and ask us how we did it. we even had the av guys from one of the big jumbo-tron companies come talk to us about how we built it.
