Hello .... welcome to the WSGF ... 8)

...i really want triple monitors and to be stretched
but as i have already found out you cant stretch when lcds are plugged into different cards ...

I am assuming that you mean the 3d view spanning all three/four monitors ...
The only real option is the TripleHead2Go ... spanning 3 monitors ... but ...

The current TH2G doesn't do any triple 16:10 widescreen resolutions so no matter what you do you will have a distorted image on each screen on the desktop and in games ... :(

The new DTH2G (link above) ... out soon (date not known) ... will do only one widescreen 16:10 solution ... 3 x 1280X800.

Vroshnak uses 3 widescreens and had some problems running 3x1280x1024 (not widescreen) ... but on the whole he seems happy with it ... you may want to read this ...

is it possible to buy a non widescreen to aleiviate this problemsay like a 19" in the middle of my 22s?

Yeah you can put a 4:3 screen in the middle but the sidescreens would have a distorted/stretched image for both desktop and games as each screen will be running 1280x1024 ... :(

i mainly want to get rid of the centerline but i really cannot deal with any out of whack stretching i am really a stickler about that


so other than that my best bet would be to get rid of the wides and go with 4:3 monitors "the largest i can aford"

... yes ... at the moment ... who knows what the future will bring.
I have 3x20" 4:3's they are great.
I also have 3x24" widescreens but at the moment I don't use them in TH ... may be with the DTH2G ... at 3 x 1280X800 ... but that seems a little low too me but it is the best it will do for widescreens.
