I'm very late to the party here, but I just wanted to add a few things for this review for anyone who happens to be curious about trying this in 2017. I haven't seen any updates on this topic on this site since this review. (Or maybe I'm just terrible at searching...) ⋅ It is possible to c...

While I have three monitors I don't have Surround/Eyefinity so I can't test this (and SoftTH doesn't work). But I think you can try the demo, they did some improvements to the whole resolution management in a patch a while back, and if I recall correctly they also patched the demo accordingly. In th...

As Abram stated you can modify the Notifications.PanelPosition value in steam.styles to change corner. However, games have the ability to override that default position (e.g. Left 4 Dead and Torchlight) and any major Steam client update will reset it. The specific layout files for achievement and ch...

You have to enable the developer console and set a key for it (e.g. F10). Then you can use the sensitivity command in the console. Default value is 3.
A slightly quicker way is to edit config.cfg located in Steamsteamappscommonalien swarmswarmcfg (search for "sensitivity").

TV movies are usually in 16:9. To my knowledge, most movies are actually 2.35:1 (or similar). And while that would only be able to stretch across two 16:10 monitors in landscape mode with black vertical strips of roughly 25% on both monitors, you could actually span it across three monitors if they'...

Watching movies in Eyefinity isn't that great. The screen doesn't stretch across all 3 screens. Instead, mine overlapped about 25% on each side monitor.Have you tried a player like http://splayer.org/index.en.html ? That one seems to be pretty good at handling playback across monitors (at least com...

Wow. A bit off-topic but may I just ask how much a 30" costs where you live? I'm contemplating replacing my 22" Lenovo L220x with a Dell 3008WFP (I already have two Dell 2209WA as secondary monitors which I'd probably use in portrait mode next to the 30"), and here (Sweden) that Dell costs about $1,...

As far as I'm aware it's only possible to disable the Cloud sync in the Left 4 Dead games (maybe other Source games as well), not globally. I don't know, that's one thing I don't like about Steam, some really basic things like that one are just missing or not working as expected. Take the notificati...

A while ago I wanted to play through DX once more, and after searching back and forth I finally found this fix: http://www.kentie.net/article/dxguide/index.htm I've played almost half of the game with this fix (with Direct3D in 1920x1200) without any problems at all, so give it a go and see if it wo...
