| Post subject: | Looking for advice on TH2GO and Various Monitor sizes |
Hello there. This is my first post here and I wondered if someone could answer me a question which I seem to be unable to find. I am interested in buying a TH2GO but i an worried that my current setup will hinder the viewing performance. Currently I have 1 x Dell 3007 30" and 1 x Dell 2407 24" monitors, I am wondering does the TH2GO will be able to spread the viewing area over monitors that are different sizes, as I was thinking of buying a 2nd Dell 24" so one would sit on either size of the 30". Or will I need to buy a monitor so they are all the same size? Also is there a wall arm mounted display available that can hold 3 monitors? Looking for your expert advice. thanks for your time. My current computer is. AMD Black edititon 3.0 Asus Crosshair II Motherboard Nvidia 295 (182 drivers) 4GB OCZ Ram |

If you have one 30" and 2 24" then they will all run at 1680 x 1050. Trust me it will not look good. I was a TH2Go user for about a year and then went back to just using one widescreen monitor because not all games support the TH2Go anyway. If I were you I'll stick with the 30" monitor for gaming. Just add another monitor if you want to try a multi monitor set up but don't use both for gaming. |

I would sell the 30" and get 2 new 24"s or get 2 24"'s and keep the 30 as a 4th monitor off the 2nd DVI port if you have room for it. Games that dont run in TH2go will work on your centre screen or you can run them on the 3-" if you keep it as a 4th monitor. You would probably need a dual arm and a single arm to wall mont 3 24's |

I dont know of a single arm that will do it. Have a look at the Ergotron range for dual and single arms. |

I too am having a bit of a "crisis" trying to decide whether or not to go three 24s or simply keep my current config (24-30-24).... I know of SoftTH and of the digital TripleHead2go. ... cost isn't too much of a problem, just "best bang for the buck" and best game play for most games, as well as keeping my machine very "work minded" as I telecommute often from home. My question to all of you is; Being that the TH2G is capable of running one DVI-D link in SLI to three 24" monitors.... does that config screw up the normal control you have when running 3 monitors on their own DVI-D link to the GPUs? Meaning, does it make it one big screen in the control panel display settings?? What's the best for both worlds??? Monitors? and either SoftTH or TH2G?? .... I'm a bit frustrated with it, and it drives me to stay up late researching it. I have the three 24s in hand, and the 30". So buying new monitors isn't needed, only the TH2G if that's (the best) recommended. |

Yes it does screw up the "normal control" windows has, as the computer will see everything as one monitor. Which is what the device was designed to do. 2.) With the 24, 30, 24 setup, you would want to look into SofTH. With all 24" panels, you should look at TH2Go. |
