Ibrin would 3 22" or 24" monitors be able to theoretically fit on your Ergotron stand?

I could probably manage 3 x 22" (with a little modification to the base they're on)



...but am just concerned about the FPS hit I'd take going to the higher resolution. Will probably wait until my next upgrade (Nehalem, 280 etc.) before deciding what to do with the layout - use the 2407 for most games anyway so the single monitor resolution doesn't matter to me.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by modification? Now that these new resolutions are supported my next monitor upgrade will probably be 3x22" widescreens and I would like to know how likely they are to fit on that stand.

I believe that the 22" would fit on the stand. With my mod, the weight and size may be an issue. I would look at the Triple Lift, as it seems to have a better base for big monitors.

Sorry for any confusion caused.

By modification I mean to the platform my current 19" are on. I don't use a triple arm stand, each of mine is supported at the back on independent desk pole mounts that are mounted to a cross beam underneath, they actually sit flat on a shelf panel, which is not wide enough for anything bigger - hence my modification, i.e. a wider shelf... :D

Got the first one in yesterday. Got #2 & #3 in today. Got them all hooked up....

And the DVI ports don't work on two of them. Everything detects fine on the Matrox, and I get one good screen. Open up GXM and it shows one digital connection and two analog. The screens are blank at post as well. Moved the cable between the three connections on the TH2Go, and it powers up the one screen with each image. Tried multiple cable, still no joy. Tried my work laptop, and it only works on #1. VGA works on all three, but that does me no good.

Submitted my RMA request to Shark Systems. Will be a while before I'm good to go. Hope this isn't indicative of the overall product quality.

Okay, so we can safely say I'm seriously non-plussed. The warranty process with ASUS is for me to mail it in (AT MY EXPENSE), and wait 10 days for them to repair. So, I've just spent $800 on monitors, and on the first day I have to spend more money to get them fixed.

ASUS does not have a DOA policy, and they don't offer any sort of "advanced exchange." My reseller doesn't offer any sort of return, and they won't swap it out for me. In fact, the model has been discontinued.

So, I had 2 out of three fail, and it's now discontinued. Sounds like ASUS knows it's a bad product. And, now that I've got them installed, I realize I could do 20" panels from Dell or HP (or similar). So, I could have bought directly from the manufacturer here in the states, and avoided all of this.

That sucks bud ...
Maybe you should contact ASUS ... in your "Forum Owner" hat explaining how dissatisfied you are and that the 13521 registered users on the WSGF will be told/warned of their bad policy and your experience in the sites front page news !

You have never even used the damned things !

I did call ASUS about the RMA. I am going to call them again tomorrow and ask for replacements, and possibly a refund (got this nagging feeling of having crap EOL product). If I don't get resolution as a normal person, I will pull out the forum owner. After that, it will be the Executive Email Carpet Bomb:

On thing that this has brought to light, is that we talk about products and tech specs. And our monitor pages list the length of warranty, but they don't talk about type. I am planning to compile a matrix of the warranty details for each manufacturer, their dead pixel policy, and their support site. Will look to do the same for the mailer re/e-tailers as well.

There was a monitor spec site that listed the details of company warranties that I visited when searching for my triplehead monitors. Buggerall if I can't remember what it was called though.
