I have tried what you said about ATI sound. I still get the switching but it is less. Also what i picked up is that if i leave my pc running then after 2-3 hours i have flickering

Didn't do anything for me. I was all happy at first because it took a good 30 minutes to turn off.

This is so bogus. WTF - I'm gonna go for a DP 24" center like I had planned. If Eyefinity sucks on 3x24", then at least I'll have a really nice display to look at. And I can always give the extra 24" sides to my ex-wife and kids.

Once again- if anyone out there has found a way to get the Bizlink adapter to work properly - please chime in! That especially includes the fabled BIOS-flashers :roll:

This is such a shame! I was playing with Dirt 2, and even with a crappy setup (center 24" and mismatched side 19"s all running at 1680) - it was AMAZING.

I think I earlier advised someone not to go with a center 24" and side 21.5". Well - I was dead wrong - at least for racing games. Since it's just in your peripheral vision (and it's tough to drive a rally car while looking out the side window anyway), the slight size difference doesn't make any difference to the overall effect. If anything, I prefer a larger center monitor (within reason) since that's what you're really looking at. Of course, I'm having to run the center at a lower res (1680 vice 1920)to match the little 19 inchers - but still. It works well.

I actually enjoy playing it even though my right (DP-connected) monitor goes blank after a few minutes. Even just having the driver's side is pretty cool.

Looks like I'll be ordering a U2410 tomorrow, along with a used HP to match the one I already have. This is just too awesome to live without. Maybe one day they'll figure out this adapter mess and I can implement my ultimate plan of 3 50" 720p plasma's. That would just rock.

Yes agree with your sentiments. Eyefinity is awesome and i dont wanna be without it also. Even with the blinking issues. Here in South Africa i can't seem to find any a displayport lcd.

Yes, I think it's fairly obvious by now that ATI didn't want to go with DP, they just had to - due to the technical limitations of DVI-D dual link.

And I'll just reiterate my assertion that, without a functioning adapter, ATI is depriving itself of a lot of sales, as well as spectacular setups that could otherwise be created and then held up as examples - which would serve to proselytize the Masses re: the wonders of Eyefinity. As great as 3x30" monitors are - it pales in comparison to, say, 3x60" DLP's (which would also be a lot cheaper).

Can't you order such a monitor from Hong Kong or something? You're a lot closer to Asia than I am :D

BTW, just wanted to state that my Bizlink-connected monitor cuts out even when not in Eyefinity mode. Earlier, I had believed it worked in just plain old spanning or mirror mode.

Well - turns out it can't even do that.

I don't understand isn't that the same adapter they used at an event to show eyefinity. How long is an event like that did they not have any problems. Did they not test adapters at all.

Watch this video why would they say such a thing if it did not work. Seems to me that some people are having other issues besides the adapter. I should receive mine today or tomorrow.

Well just checked my ups tracking and my adapter is out for delivery it got updated. It was suppose to arrive tomorrow. But alright. So I will let everyone know how mine works.

I will update tomorrow as well to let you know if that Acell Adaptor from Amazon works any better than the Dell one.

Could be that it's a monitor compatibility issue with the Bizlink adapter. I and some others don't have any issues at all with the Bizlink adapter. I'm using an xfx 5870 (bought at launch week), Bizlink adapter (from early October), and an Asus vw266h, with no blinking issues. I haven't seen it in 2D or Eyefinity mode.
