Thanks for the advice.
I'll do some additional reading on it. I already have a 133'' screen that I use for movies and such, and was looking for something that could fit in a bedroom sized room for gaming.
Unfortunately, I just got deployment warno for Afghanistan, so I'll probably take another ...

I'm planning a new projector setup and I want to start buying parts within 24 hours so I can set it up this weekend. If I get help I'll post pics and results.

First here's my setup:

Well, 9.7 is installed, and it works at 5040 right away, which is great!

Unfortunately, I am still unable to set the default monitor from any control.

Hi All,

If you are having any issues with the 9.7 beta, try reverting to the 9.5 release to go along with our new firmware and PD 2.05.

I've got a 4870X2 and DTH2G DE.
I have all the latest firmware and drivers.
I'm currently running Catalyst 9.6 (9.7 didn't work for me)
Vista 64 Ultimate

Under 9.6 I have 5040x1050 across 3 22' Samsung monitors and on the other port my 24' Dell. Didn't require any meddling with ...
