my triplehead upgrade

JKeefe · Post by **JKeefe** » 16 May 2006, 05:05

I was using my TripleHead2Go with 2 P1110s (21" Trinitron CRTs) and an old Dell 17" CRT (curved). Considering the size/shape/geometry mismatch, this still looked great.

However, I added a third P1110 and I love it (unsurprisingly). I do not like the 2D desktop management software provided by Matrox, so I was using only two monitors in 2D through my 2 ports on my 6800GT and running the TripleHead2Go in single-monitor mode on the desktop. I am still doing the same, but now I have the third monitor as well, powered by an el-cheapo 6200LE TC. I change the left and right P1110 inputs (they are dual-input monitors) when I game in triplehead. This gives me the superb dekstop management I get with UltraMon and still gives me triplehead gaming on matched screens.

My god, what res are you driving those on. 1600 x 1200?
That would give you 4800 x 1200 pixels. :shock:
5760000 pixels in total. :? :shock:

Desktop: 3840x960 (triple 1280x960)
Gaming: 3072x768 (triple 1024x768), because that's the only TripleHead2Go resolution with a 75 Hz refresh rate. If I have to game at lower resolutions (because of framerate) I can sometimes see the flicker.

21" Sony's are sweet monitors. Respect!

And those wallpapers are even sweeter. Very nice setup.

Looks like a Logitech MX510/MX518...

I was also thinking the 510... the 518 only came in grey, but the 510 had your choice of red or blue "unique" pattern on the back.

Yep, Logitech MX510.
