Hello all!

I was recently lucky enough to get into the CS:GO beta. I'm a huge CS fan going back to 1.5, and I couldn't wait to download the game and see how it runs on triple screen.

First off, the actual game-play is awesome, and works great natively at 5760 x1080. However, when you ...

Nevermind, looks like these cables have gone the way of the dinosaur. Guess I need to look into getting an active adapter then? =(

Will this work for a third monitor?

Basically the setup would be three tvs with HDMI. First two use HDMI to DVI cables, third uses HDMI to Mini DisplayPort cable. I keep reading about active and passive adapters etc., but it would seem much simpler to just buy a cable, no?

thanks!

Thanks for the tip on AVS Forums. I did some digging, and was able to find tested numbers for 2 of the 3 TVs.

UN32D5500: ~30ms
40PFL5505D: ~25ms
UN40D5005 (OP): Unknown

On a whim, I found the input lag for my current monitor (I-Inc iF-281DPB 27.5 inc) and its ~9ms. So I would be about ...

Hmmm... I actually don't think I could live with that, haha. I'm kind of a twitch gamer, and I think that would really bother me. What is going to contribute to the input lag, the HZ? The MS?

I found a couple other TVs that might be better. If anyone can, let me know what you think ...

So armed with just enough knowledge to be dangerous, and with a point in the right directions from valcan_s, I've been searching for the perfect set of TVs for an Eyefinity Setup I've been looking to build. That search has brought me here, to this TV from this vendor:

hmmm, they can do 1680 x 1050 (tried it last night and it looked fine to me) but the monitors only work at 59 or 60 hz.

Sweet, so it sounds like it would work!

In that case, I need to pick up a third monitor, plus the triplehead2go, a second gtx 260 for Sli, and that's it? I'm running vista ultimate x64, 8gbs ddr2 1000, and a q6600 oced to 3.0, any of that present a problem?

Thanks for the fast replies guys.

Hello WSGF community!

This is my first post here, I'm actually kind of overwhelmed today. I bought a second 27.5 inch monitor on Wednesday and it arrived via UPS today.

(Here is the monitor, it is listed as the Hanns.G HG281DP on this site):
