1600 x 900 would be the native resolution of a 16:9 panel

The native resolution of a 16:9 panel would be whatever the manufacturer determines is the native resolution. Generally speaking it depends on size with an average PPI of 72.

Anyone know if BF2142 has been patched with sufficient updates to be working iwth triple-screen now? I see one YouTube video of the 1.51beta with three screens working? The title for the video is bugs though. The BF2142 1.51 patch was just released and I'm curious. IIRC the issue with the Battlfiel...

And what about HUD. Can we bring it on centre monitor? Sorry to necro the thread, but I second this question. Also - just as a note for others looking for Bioshock solutions, to run it in wide-Triplehead resolutions (4320x900, 5040x1080 etc.), you need to add "-dx9" to the start target. It's probab...

I think this also occurs with itunes.

Digging this up from the grave to report the same issue. iTunes will only maximize on the far left monitor, and if it isn't in the left monitor it resizes past the monitor bezel (due to the start menu being on the far left).

Anyone have a workaround yet?

My gut instinct is that if it's that cheap, they're either faulty or the shop isn't entirely legit. Don't know of an alternative sub $100 that doesn't involve popping the battery itself open (not something I'd be keen to do 'on the spur of the moment'...) Yeah... Thank you both for the suggestions....

One final question - can I plug in an old PCI video card to drive a fourth display (obviously separate from the eyefinity config)? Or rather will eyefinity conflict with it in any way? What would happen if I moved a video between it and the other displays (assuming software rendering I guess)? The ...

Hey guys, long time no see. Unfortunately I have been far too busy to be active. Quick post for an irritating issue: my laptop's battery died (well, died so much as it throws annoying error codes constantly). It's a Dell Inspiron 6000. I mostly use it for typing papers and occasionally surfing the '...

I recommend 3 1080p monitors but thats just my opinion.

I have three 19" Dell monitors, and I quite like them. Nothing bigger would fit on my desk, and it's nice to have a triplewide setup without feeling dominated by the monitor size.

I picked them up for less than $100 each at the time.

I use TH2G with FSX, using three 20inch LCD monitors. My two side monitors give a somewhat stretched view of objects, making them appear wider or longer, than when the same objects are viewed in the center monitor. Is this phenomenon something inherent to the TH2G system or is there a way to adjust...

In fact, I can only think of one WSGF member off the top of my head that I seem to remember having colour calibration hardware - X-Warrior. I also have color calibration hardware and a color calibrated system (well, several). Nevertheless, my main gaming system only has TN panels, sadly. It would b...

That is very strange. I'd say that is one of the most common 3 screen resolutions around, yet it's not supported? Is there a bug or something?

I believe he means that they don't support outputting that resolution (a la triplehead2go), forcing you to use Eyefinity.

You can use a piece of hardware, like the "Spyder" product series, which seem highly recommended.

Although I don't believe Eyefinity allows you to use three different profiles at the same time.

Well I just beat the main story and the alternate missions. These points still stand: 1.) The aiming system is ridiculous. We should be able to aim where the camera is looking, not just the one direction he's facing. 2.) This definitely is a console port, but that doesn't stop it from feeling very "...
