Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hi,

is there ant tool, utility to color calibrate, match 3 monitors with the above stystem... so moving a pictures from one monitor to another will be the same on any monitor? any test patterns whatever to set it up?

I would love then to have the print out be the same color i see on screen ...

Just found an Australian supplier for Sapphire Active Display Port Single-Link to DVI Adapter,

they ordered DP-VGA and got Active DP-DVI by mistake... here is the link http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=625&products_id=15438

already ordered mine :D no idea how ...

join the club, i have the same and had it for months, i talked to tech help here in Australia and they said not all monitors have an inbuilt support for the way TH2G sees the monitor, i wish i could remember what the heck it was called, i download a utility to check and sure enough my Viewsonic ...

The question is... to the rest of us who have TH2G...

do we have the money/guts/balls to rip our screens apart and do this fantastic mod?

errrm..... no from me :shock:

it may play on widescreen res but... on TH2G it runs so slow that it is not worth trying to play it.

Anyone got it going at full speed on TH2G?

yep thats it Paddy, I remember it now... my set-up is off enough to niggle me when I see the slight change from one monitor to the next but not enough to start opening the window to throw something out...

Mine is noticable on start-up where the 3 are not the same black, but I know if I start ...

"all about the same"?

Having seen some of the stuff you have done Paddy your "all about the same" means +/- 0.000000000001% hahahahahaha

You have an eye for colour so yours would be spot on, the rest of us mortals need a calibration pattern or util.

Anyone got NFSC going on TH2G?
I tried the nfscres util but it plays like its on half a bottle of valium. :lol:

Paddy and other Parhelia user's will remember this...
when you first installed a Parhelia card there was a calibration util that showed colours on two monitors to match (mon1, mon2) then (mon2, mon3) and at the end of it you had calibrated your black, white, tints etc etc it was spot on, but TH2G ...

Hi Paddy,

The only question I want ask is how much do your house lights dim when you crank up all the gear you have? (or did you buy a generator along with the 8800's? :lol:

Is there any util that calibrate's the three monitor's?

I have read the how to guide but most of it is for one monitor setup.
Anyone know of a utility like the old Parhelia calibrator that sets up all three screens?

It's a sad fact that when talking to young sales people in local computer shops a good 90% + haven’t even heard of Matrox, about the only ones that have are people who were into computers when the Parhelia came out and they have heard of it.

Matrox had a great opportunity to get right in ...

Viewsonic VX922 :)

I think you are about spot on, point well made and you obviously are very wise, looking at your choice of monitors :wink:

Most of my gaming is car racing, GTL, GTR2, NFSU so can't comment much on the FPS games, I run mine with enough "eye candy" to look nice from the cockpit and it plays fine.

I like your choice of monitors :) as they are 2ms and native 1280x1024 60hz so perfect for TH2G.

I use mine 80% for ...

I was very shocked to discover that they had closed the forum and Paddy I don't blame RichieG I was just having a go at him as I know he comes to WSGF.

Matrox users have for years stuck with them as video cards went better and better to have "surround gaming" some of us even stuck with Parhelia ...
