Widescreen Gaming Forum

i UNINSTALLED everything GXM related last night..restarted a few times just for good measure, then:

-installed fresh nVidia drivers, restarted
-double-checked to have latest Th2g Firmware, restarted
-installed PD-SE 2.04.00.011, restarted
-WIZARD comes up, select Triple Monitors, i CHECK "install triple widescreen resolutions", select 3x1680x1050 from the drop down list, hit finish
-wizard begins doing its green checkmark steps, when it gets to applying resolution the screen goes black momentarily while it switches resolution.

** i got a different result this time**

the Display Properties says 5040x1050, this is good
my Monitors OSD info says 1280x1024, BUT because Windows is displaying a 5040x1050 image on 1280x1024 monitors...my start menu is barely visible....

hard to explain...but imagine laying a LETTER size piece of paper over a LEGAL size piece of paper...you 'see' the LEGAL size paper behind it..but your screen size is only 8.5x11 so it gets cutoff, but you can tell its there.

maybe the monitors dont like 1680x1050@57 ??
-but the 'known working list' shows them

maybe i need to reflash my TH2GO firmware?

You should do a search, someone else reported the same problem with the same monitor, sounds like a monitor issue:

If Windows is listing the resolution correctly but it only falls down when being displayed on the monitor.. then the monitor is a likely suspect.
I gave a suggestion on changing monitor scaling in the other thread, the OP never updated if it worked or not. Bear in mind that a certain revision of your monitor may work while yours does not. The list is just a guideline.


I also wouldnt bother with Wizard, Ive never seen it work correctly. Infact the Wizard has never listed 5040x1050 (/1680 x3) for me yet Ive being running it (untouched settings between driver updates) for months now. Just set it up manually.

Its assumed you have the latest FW on the TH2G, why wouldn't you update that first?

thanks for the help.

ill try updating the th2go firmware again before continuing.

the setting a custom resolution thread was started for Vista users so i didnt think it applied to me; but youre right..a custom resolution will work for any OS since its the nV control panel making the changes.

im hoping to get it at 5040 or i might just have to return the th2go :/

Personally, Id dump the monitors over the TH2G!

i need to reinstall my OS soon anyway, so i was going to run XP32 this time around and try to get it working. this should rule out any software conflict issue as it will be a 'clean install'. if it still doesnt work, ill probably just return the th2go and monitors and get a single large monitor again.

just to make sure...what is the latest version of TH2GO firmware? download link?

This is the same problem that i have in XP32 Bits and Windows7 64 Bits.

I have the same 4320x900 in both systems, but in 5040x1050 the monitors displays 1280x1024 and the image appears as 5040x1050 but blurried...

I just want to know if the original poster ever sorted this out? I have a GTX295 and I am waiting for my TH2G and monitors. I won't be getting the same monitors but I just want to know whether this will work with the GTX295?
