up till about 2 weeks ago. I have a 42" HDTV and 3x 20" LCD connected to my gaming rig. the 3x LCD is for working and I switch over to the 42" HDTV for gaming.

I was in gaming and PC producitity bliss short of a 100+" projector setup.

then I happen to have get a Th2G pretty cheap and happen to this forum and you guys. I found solutions to get all my games working in TH2g.

I could never go back to single display again!

I can never see my HDTV the same again. it's just not as cool as triple head.

but my 20" triple doens't seem as big as my 42". now I have the BIG URGE to go 3x24" LCD display.

I already got a new desk to accomidate triple 24". just waiting for a sale on 24" LCDs.

I hate you guys for showing me even more awesome gaming expereince than a larege screen HDTV.. I seen what sweetness ultra widescreen gaming is and can't go back. ahhh.. now the money I will end up spending .. . . . . . .

Just kidding.. . I love/thank you guys expecially RacerS and Dopefish for posting methods and fixes to get games running properly in th2g. The last time I realize what I've been missing in gaming so cool was back in 1988/1989 when all I know was Nintendo and then I saw a computer gaming magzine and saw full 256 color graphics :P

ha-ha ...:lol: ... how about 3 x 42" HDTV's ?

that's just TOOO crazy. I don't think it works on a technical level either.

I tried setting 1680x1050 on my HDTV and it won't support that resolution.

and the TH2G Digital don't support 3x 1920x1080.

Hehe, good post geniv2!
Yea everyone on these forums should be strung up and whipped.. NOT!!!!

This triple head stuff is spendy for sure. My rig specs are 3 years old, but still kicking. I can't hardly wait for my funds to return to normal to upgrade and enjoy all the newer games in full setting.....

But for now a little tweaking here and there is getting me by.
This place is awsome for updates and news!!!!!! 8)

Indeed! that post title got me nervous for you for a sec!

You should definitely try your 42" TV at 1360x768 or 1366x768. These are supported resolutions and would work with your TV for triple-42"

after experienceing triplehead gaming:
see here:
http://www.sharkyforums.com/showthread.php?t=313029

I can't go back to a regular single screen gaming again.

yeah my 42" HDTV is bigger. but after playing fps on it again.. it just don't feel natural and I miss the wide field of view and more battlefield awareness.

sooo... I got this today: 3x 24" Widescreen LCD. $1300

ahh the shamful persuite of the next FPS thrill.

btw: I'm not going to pay for the monitors. I am going to return it. after testing to see how it works out with the TRiplehead2Go and how my system and specific video card handle the resolutions. and then I'll return it.

if it pass my bickering I will pay for them online since it's cheaper.

I'm running 3x28 (27.5 viewable) monitors and have no complaints aside from the 4320x900 limit (ATI, 4870). some games look stretched but thanks to Racer S I have a great FlatOut 2 image. Crysis looks so good I'm thinking of getting the next chapter. Fsx is looking fantastic as well once I adjusted the seating and the zoom. no distortion on side panels. You have to play with the settings to get things right. I don't like Bio shock, I've probably missed something tho. Too zoomed in.

Patch it, IIRC an official patch sorted it.

I finally got my 3x 24" and new desk set up (actually I got it setup 2 days ago but I was busy enjoying 24"x3 gaming)

thats with 3x 20" 4:3 monitor
one thing that bother me bout it is that where I sit it's not "centere" it's more to the Left side and always feel wierd.

new desktop and desk

now my seat is centered.

May want to raise your tower off the floor... Unless you have a godo air filter nearby.

But ya, nice setup. Now mount your HDTV above your computer.

and don't forget to update you specs sig.

hey those are the same headphones i have.
