Though we've had the link up for a while, we have finished populating the Wallpaper Gallery with our first round of uploads. We've uploaded almost 100 wallpapers. Finding that almost all of our wallpapers are for TripleHead setups, the WSGF is hosting a competition for Surround Wallpapers. Hit this forum thread for details.
CyberCrist did make a review about the Ergotron LX Triple Display Lift Stand. He is using one Samsung monitor and 2 Chimei monitors. You can read his review here.
Ergotron sent three members of the WSGF monitor stands, so that they could review them and give their feedback. Dem Pyros opted for a Neo-Flex Dual Display stand, and has finished his review. The review contains a lot of photos, and can be found here.
I have posted a new video, showcasing Age of Conan in the new Surround Gaming widescreen modes. I've posted the video to our Video Gallery and uploaded it to all of our video communities.
We've been busy around the site, in a number of ways lately. But, I want to point out our new TripleHead2Go FAQ, which is also linked in our new Site Map in the left nav.
Additionally, Ergotron and Matrox are helping the WSGF to sponsor a massive contest. The Grand Prize is a complete TH2Go setup - 3x HP LP1965 19" monitors, a TripleHead2Go Digital Edition, and an Ergotron LX Triple Display Lift Stand. You can find all the details in this forum thread.
Mobster007 put together a Surround Comparison video using a timedemo from Counter Strike Source. You can see it in our YouTube channel.
Stecchino and the fine folks over at the 83rd Division have invited the WSGF to join them for a weekly frag fest each Saturday. They run a number of modded servers with custom maps, and maintain an atmosphere and attitude that mirrors ours here at the WSGF. More Details.
Matrox announced today that a firmware update to the Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition bring support for 3x1440x900 and 3x1680x1050. This is a great milestone for the product, as it enables native support in 3xWS for 19" - 22" panels.
Most users found the 3x1280x800 too small a monitor size, so they opted for 3x1280x1024. This new support will allow for a much larger native panel size; and it will allow for a game to be played in widescreen, when Surround is not supported. Read (and discuss) the announcement in this forum thread.
Wednesday is Frag Night at the WSGF. We are working to establish a weekly TF2 game with members of the WSGF. The server is open 24/7, but the gathering times are 9pm GMT (London Time) and 9pm CST (Texas, USA). The WSGF TF2 server is located at "homepc.cynagen.com:27016" Join the WSGF Steam Community to get updates and notices of events.
Response to the TF2 server has been great. We are going to try and have regular events on the weekend. Matches for EU members will be at 9pm GMT on Friday and Saturday. Matches for US members will be 9pm CST. Feel free to attend both, but we wanted to make sure that forum members on both sides of the pond were covered. PM Cynagen your Steam ID to get priority on the server.
