Re: How to align monitors

Hope these step by step assembly notes help.

For my Freedom v2 stand I did the following. Less than an hour from opening the box to completely setup.
(should be somewhat similar for most other stands).

1 Assemble the base and long bar for 3+1 (or the short bar for 3 wide only).
2 Slide the 5 part ...

Re: How to make all displays look the same

I have 3x dell 24" monitors (all same part#) bought over 8-9 years.

The "factory default" color/temperature settings on the 3 don't match (not even close). I had to go in and manually set all 3 to the same RGB values in the on-screen menus and that did the trick. They are on 2 DVI ports and a ...

Re: X-Plane 10 - my experience

The FSX is just too old and not optimized for recent computer hardware.
Try X Plane, it will run much smoother!

Hehe.

My problem is that I have way too much invested in FSX add-ons.

Weather, scenerey, aircraft, etc...

I know X-plane is a more accurate and realistic simulation of flight but my ...

Re: Nvidia surround cant maximize windows on individual moni

Display fusion lets you define virtual screen areas for edge snapping, background images - lets you use 3 different images across the 1 surround window, etc. and seems to affect window borders correctly when clicking the full screen button in the upper right corner.
EG: I defined 3 boxes within my ...

Re: FSX and TH2GO impossible ?

I noticed that same zooming issue with FSX in wide screen.

I will be googling EZdok right away. Thanks for the tip!

Re: Upgrade recomendations!

Perhaps a "bit" paranoid.

I'm running 3 monitors bought across at lest 7-8 years.

Got the first Dell 2405FPW brand new directly from Dell when they first came out for about $1200 as I recall. It has 3 dead pixels that it had the day I opened the box. Not nearly enough for Dell to replace it (ugh ...

Re: X-Plane 10 - my experience

Flight sims are all tough on computers. Especially when ramping up the eyecandy.

I have FSX running on an ASUS Z97 with an i4790k (4Ghz OC'd @5Ghz) reading from a 4channel M.2 SSD drive (1100 Mb/s) and a GTX970...

With visual settings high, around the NYC airspace I get 8-10 FPS @6060x1200 in the ...

Re: Freedom WSGF Edition Ultimate Desk Stand v2

Mine arrived today!

Less than an hour from opening the box to fully setup.

As a 16 year+ sysadmin I've worked with a number of different multi-monitor stands at the office and I can definitely say that this is by far the easiest one I've ever set up.

1x Acer 24" 1920x1080 V243H upside-down so the ...

Re: Monitor stand options

Could you use a couple "C" clamps at the back? Is there enough room for them?

Or since your "desk" is your own custom built monitor shelf, why not just drill a couple holes in the monitor stand base plate and the desk and drop bolts through with big washers underneath? That should keep everything ...
