Widescreen Gaming Forum

List updated to reflect information in the new posts. As much information about the behaviour of the monitor whether it's working or not is much appreciated !

I have added the list to the first post in the thread and edited it for (i hope) clarity.
@allanstrings: I hope you don't mind me messing about with your posts. HUGE props and thank you's for creating the thread in the first place and I hope you can forgive the intrusion :)

For monitors that appear to work at 1680x1050, but not 5040x1050, I see no hardware reason for this and would implore users to try software solutions first. If you have exhausted all options then let us know, as this may well be the case for some monitors. Would be good to find out for sure one way or the other 8)

Thank you ... I added the info to the first post.
Welcome to the WSGF ... 8)

Known working (single monitor @57Hz only tested)

Samsung Syncmaster 225BW

I have the Acer P223W and I can confirm that it DOES work at triple 1650x1050. I had to choose "Display resolutions that this monitor does not support" in Windows, but it's a rock solid display and I've had no problems with the screen scaling or being the wrong resolution.

Given all the other problems with Acer reported here, I'm rather surprised, so I thought it would be useful to have a positive report for this monitor, at least.

Hi Ereth

There are various P223W models in the market vga only and vga/DVI input.

I have the Acer P223W VGAonly, without DVI input and 1680x1050@57 does not work. Also triple 1680x1050 does not work.

I have tried all the ways proposed in this forum , included creating a new 1680x1050@57hz in nvidia control panel, the result is a blank screen and frequency not supported monitor warning.

Does you Acer P223W has DVI input?
Do you use DVI to DVI or DVI(adapter) to VGA cable on it for the triple configuration?

Regards

No, mine is DVI. I haven't bought a VGA-only monitor in many years.

I wouldn't think a VGA-DVI cable would work at all, and I would never consider hooking an analog-only monitor to the TripleWidescreen Digital Edition.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I was just curious if anybody ever tried to change your refresh rate by using the Rivatuner utilty? I use it for overclocking, fan speeds, and temp monitoring, it does have a screen size and refresh option as well.


I can confirm that the Samsung 2243bwx's do work with 5040x1050 at 57hz, you will get the optimal range message, push the menu button and it goes away.

Anyone know a 24" Model that will run in at 5040x1050@57Hz yet at still 1920x1200 for a bit of future proofing?

Edit: Hmm, I think I found some but I can't buy them new. :(

New 22" Monitor Valid 5040x1050 @ 57hz TH2GO configurations.

LG Flatron W2252TQ


For you information:


* :( :( :( Acer P223W VGA input only doesn´t work 5040x1050 @ 57hz
* :D :D :D LG Flatron W2252TQ Yes it works fine at 5040x1050 @ 57hz

I have one Acer P223W and two LG Flatron W2252TQ with the TH2GO.

When I active the 5040x1050 @ 57hz The two Lg looks fine, OSD information 1680x1050@57 perfect image no OSD advice, all OK but the Acer P223W shows 1280x1024 (OSD info) blurry image also all the image moved to the left with black spaces in two corners. If I isolate the acer for test porpouse ( only the acer conected to the TH2GO) when I force it to 1680x1050@57 the Monitor shows black screen.

Becareful with the Acer P223W. Analog vga only input version don´t support 5040x1050 @ 57hz configuration.

Hope this help to future buyers.

Known Working.
