Surround Gaming w/ 3 19" Widescreens..(4320 x 900)?

Post by dme92189 »

Hey everyone! First post here but looks like an awesome community! So I have a few questions regarding running a surround gaming setup. I currently have two of these monitors:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824254001
and am looking into buying a third one if I can make it work. I would like to do surround gaming with these three monitors with each at resolution 1440 x 900 (native) for a total of 4320 x 900. I paly WoW and CSS mostly, and am wondering what could be the best solution to this predicament. Would I use a TH2G or something else? Is this even possible at this resolution? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Looking forward to many more posts here!

Such a res isn't supported by TH2G and I can't think of anything else that allows for surround gaming.

Well, how much worse would a 1280 x 768 or w/e look...I am not on my computer now so I cant try but would it look too terrible?

If you can get the image to stretch properly, it should be pretty good. Paddy has said on several occasions that 1280x1024 or 1024x768 stretch fine across 1600x1200 on his Dell 20" panels.

Hi,

I dont have 3 x 19" widescreens but i do have 3 viewsonic VM 922's, the native resolution is 1280x 1024, so 3840 x 1024 and all I can say is it's awesome!........ every game is bloody brilliant.... and I have played BF2 with triple mode although it's 3840x 960 and the menu's stuff up and are not as they shuld be but the game play is still great,, and as for driving games such as GTL and GTR2 is outstanding.... turn the lights out..... sit back and your there, not wanting to turn it off.

just my humble opion

You can't do 4230x900 regardless of hardware. 3D in Windows has a maximum horizontal res of 4096 pixels.
