Announcing the WSGF Edition Multi-Monitor Stand

Submitted by skipclarke on 16 November, 2011 - 22:32

I am pleased to announce the WSGF Edition of the Ergotech Heavy Duty Multi-Monitor Stand. The stand is based off existing heavy duty stand that I reviewed here on the WSGF. It is designed to convert from a three monitor (3x1L or 3x1-P), to a four (1+ 3x1-L) or five monitor (5x1-P) setup. The WSGF Edition offers several changes and upgrades, including:

Integrated power distribution and surge protection for up to four monitors.
Curved, five-segment monitor bar that allows for a truly parabolic curve in 3x1-P and 5x1-P. It also provides a smaller footprint for 3x1-L configurations.
Tall pole to accommodate "one over three" monitor configuration.
Two additional monitor pivots (for a total of five) for four and five monitor configurations.
In a "one over three" configuration the top monitor tilts down for easier viewing.

Below is a video I put together about the development and prototyping process I went through to arrive at the final design. The stand will be available exclusively through the Widescreen Gaming Forum, and I expect to have it available before Thanksgiving.

Skyrim is Confirmed to have Native Hor+ Eyefinity/Surround Support: UPDATE: BROKEN MENUS

Submitted by skipclarke on 10 November, 2011 - 19:53

Forum member Sonicmixer posted screenshots proving native Hor+ support in Skyrim. It also appears that the minimalistic HUD is not stretched. Falcon1 followed up with a post on the Bethesda forum that onlines all the .ini tweaks, including FOV adjustments.
UPDATE: The Menus are zoomed in and distorted, severely crippling gameplay. See this thread: http://widescreengamingforum.com/forum/forums/multi-monitor-gaming/multi...

Submitted by Anonymous on 5 November, 2011 - 17:01

Well, despite my best efforts I was unable to get the game working properly in a multi-monitor resolutions, but I've upload a video that shows the results and then shows the first two acts in the game. Video was recorded from 5040x1050 then the gameplay was cropped and scaled down to 720p @ 60 FPS.

Submitted by skipclarke on 31 October, 2011 - 22:29

After a drought of Catalyst releases with no real Eyefinity updates (beyond performance updates), AMD comes in with a trifecta of Eyefinity updates. The updates of particular importance to Eyefinity users are:

Enables support for Eyefinity 5x1 display (portrait and landscape) configurations
Maximum supported resolution has been increased to 16000 x 16000 pixels on the AMD Radeon HD 6000 Series. (limited to DX11 applications only)
Bezel compensation is now possible when using sets of displays that have mismatched pixel densities.

Battlefield 3 (Triple Monitors / Eyefinity / Surround) [~4K]

Submitted by Anonymous on 30 October, 2011 - 18:10

Well better a little late then never, this is actually a shorter version of the video, the full length video is 30 minutes long and includes the first full mission, that video is still uploading. Anyway, Battlefield 3 is a FPS game that has a heavy focus on its multi player side, it natively supports multi monitor resolutions but a couple of bugs make it less then a perfect solution, but its nothing the Devs can't fix if they wanted to. Once again if your monitors width is larger than 1920 pixels and you have lots of bandwidth, set the quality to original and play the video in full screen for a much higher quality.
