Hey Guys,

I've been reading the forums for quite a while thanks for all of the great info and tools on the site.
Anyway I just received my Club3d MST hub last week to try to eliminate screen tearing with my 1dp 2dvi setup on my 3 LG 22EA63T-P monitors at 5760x1080 with a Powercolor Devil 13 7990.

No screen tearing at all anymore in windows but monitors just go black randomly and I have to switch resolution and switch back to reset them or reboot.
It doesn't happen that often but it's annoying when the center screen goes out in the middle of a game. The sides do go out as well so it's not just the center connection.
Anyone have any experience running the mst hubs?

The previous direct 1dp and 2dvi connection never lost monitor connections.

I am running some adapters as well the 3 displayports are adapted to dvi with passive adapters as well as a mini dp to dp for the connection to the machine.

I have to say it shipped super quick from Germany when I ordered from amazon I had it within a week. If you order them make sure you have a power source as well they come with a euro plug but the brick does accept a 3 prong plug from an old dell docking station I had :)

Thanks for any help!

Hehe, guess you're one of the first here to posses one!

Did you set your monitors to DVI input and not Auto?

Thanks that's a good idea I'll give that a shot when I get home.
I typically just leave them on auto and forget about them.

Oh well they were on DVI already not auto. I tried switching the mini dp port to the other one who knows maybe.
It takes a while or on reboot or sleep mode for me to lose one so I guess I need to play a lot to see the pattern.

Other than them going off no tearing even with vsync off.

I just ordered mine from Amazon. I am waiting for it to arrive its coming from Germany to US. Once I get it I will post my results. I will be using regular Displayport monitors though with no adapters. I was hopping this will fix the screen tearing I have when on the desktop and also allow the use of vsynch. I never could get vsynch work with eyefinity and trifire 7970's.

Here you go,
I used the power brick that came with the hub I just replaced the euro 3 prong cable from the brick to the wall.
The 3 prong cable I used is one like the one in the dell docking station cable ebay auction I have listed below.
Seems pretty standard I've seen that style on printers and various other devices.
Let me know if you need any more pics.

Still no word from Club3d with any suggestions to try.

I'm reluctant to start switching out adapters they're not exactly cheap.
I could try the hub on my sons eyefinity setup he still has lcd's.

That wont really help me though I'm not switching from my bezelless leds.
But it would pint point the problem.
