Hi Chris, If you are getting an inconsistent horizon line across the displays then it suggest to me that your cameras for each display aren't set up correctly for the position of the viewer (person rather than class) relative to the displays. I'm afraid there is no easy fix for this other than sitting down and doing measures measurements of the display configuration and then computing the appropriate view offsets and projection matrices for each of the displays.
