i have 2 22" widescreens currently and either buy the third today or tomorrow i am gonna get another so i can start gaming with them but my question is this if i get a 23" (23" viewable aswell) i know i can set up my Catalyst Control Center for different resolutions, that isn't the problem but will gaming get all screwed up? runing the center monitor at 1920x1080 and the 2 sides at 1680x1050 |

Probably unless they natively support multiple screens with different resolutions which is pretty rare... Most of the time the game supports only one screen or one display area... That's why there is TripleHead hardware & software & tweaks to fool a game into thinking there is only one very wide area screen. For example 3 monitors of 1680x1050 resolution each gives a total resolution of 5040x1050 Supreme Commander supports two screens with different resolution for each natively ... |

i know, but if i use the triplehead with different size screens will it work, or screw up the game play? |

individual screens native resolution (or size) doesn't matter what matters is that each of them gets the same resolution |

so what you are saying is if the center screen can drop down to 1680x1050 then everthing would be ok right? |

right, except the geometry of things might be a little weird if the image at the center is streched to the full size of the flat panel :wink: |

For games you might be better off doing the 1680x1050. But for desktop if its soft2GO, then you could set it up with 1080p. To my knowledge at least. |
