Widescreen Gaming Forum

disclosure: i am not a gamer yet.

I have figured out Six "19 monitors with 2 TripleHead2go's, but what I really want is Four "24 lcd's (1920x1200) turned sideways.

Has anyone done this before and/or have any suggestions on how I might implement this.

An even number of anything is going to give you a bezel down the middle of your FOV. This isn't recommended. You want to use an odd-number of monitors. SofTH might work in the 4x. Not sure. I think it would for 3x turned sideways. That would be 3600x1920. That is 1.875:1 ratio. That's only slightly more than 16:10 (1.6:1). TH2Go is 3.75:1. Even the 4x is only 2.5:1. Doesn't seem like you're maximizing anything, except massive amounts of pixels.

If you want a max FOV, then go for TH2Go. If you want massive screensize, go for a huge HDTV and sit really close. The latter would be much cheaper, and much more stable.

Welcome to the forums. Here's what my experience with 2 TH2G & 6 19" screens taught me:

2 TH2G limits you to XP since Vista doesn't support span mode. Also the massive resolution hammers ALL graphics cards pretty hard (& forget about SLI - it won't work.) If you're playing graphically simpler games or older games that may be OK but forget about ever playing the latest greatest. Having said that though. I love my setup.

Hey Thanks to both of you. I am doing some testing on 4 x "24's with various configurations and will let you know when I figure out more.
