I currently have 2 Samsung 245BW's and am pondering getting a third and using a TH2G D on that triple head setup at the new 5040x1050 setting. My question is, what are the specific clock settings that are used on the display at that reslution so I can test to make sure my 245BW's can lock in at that setting? I've been using the displays today in 1680x1050 resolution today and they scale very clean in the desktop, so I'm not bothered about that. I'm just wanting to make sure these display will properly lock in at the Hz settings required for the TH2G D.

5040x1050 is at 57Hz ... every other res is at 60Hz

Is that enough info ?

Should be I think. First time I've seen displays running at 57Hz. Guess I'll know how that works out shortly. Thanks

Edit: Seems to work jsut fine. Looks like I'm safe on the 245BWs :)

Hi, i too have 1 Samsung 24" (245B) i have read over at iRacing that someone had problems getting TH2GO to work. they think its because monitors are DVI-D..and not DVI-I. please advise if this would cause me a problem, i don't want to lay out all that cash, to find it won't work.

Quote from iRacing members forum
think I have an idea what the problem is: it appears that the TH2Go outputs DVI-I and the Samsung 305T inputs DVI-D. I don't need DVI-D for the higher resolution, as I am trying to use the monitors in 1280x1024. I wonder though if DVI-I is a subset of DVI-D, or this is reason the monitors won't display as they are looking for a only DVI-D. If this makes sense does anyone have a solution? Is this a cabling problem or something more complex? Thanks!

DVI-I is DVI-Integrated - it containts signals for both D (digital) and A (Analogue). This is not the problem.

Almost all (if not all) LCD monitors' DVI ports are DVI-D.
