I'm tempted to push my luck and do SoftTH since I have 2 more monitors and a second video card in another system... but I've never done softth before :)

Actually, anybody know somewhere I can get 2 more TH2G digitals really cheap? I'd be willing to try to push this to a 12 monitor setup using a combination of Spanning and softth... I actually have enough monitors if I pull out the old school tube monitors :)

I'm looking into 2 DHTG horiz-spanned, how tempormental are the digital versions with 2 running? You mentioned you had to do some tricks to get 2 TH2G running together. I've got 4 245BW Samsungs, but not the DH2G boxes yet.

That's pretty hot. I <3 LOTRO.

Anyway, looks like you need to turn text scaling down some. Those letters are HUGE.

this is VERY COOL

but I find it IMPRACTICAL. as even on 3x24" I find it's almost too wide of a view already and I don't really notice the L and R edges.

if you have like 6 monitors in a row.. do u really notice beyond say 3 monitors?

and as for 2x TH2g one on top of each other. (3x monitor on top and 3x monitor below) wouldn't it be like a 16:9 aspect ratio?
in that case I would rather just get a 47" 1080p HDTV. it's less of a hassle to run/setup and will give faster fps.

the only practical reason I see for having that many monitor is if you are some kind of FSX freak or some kind of daytrader.


that being said .. it's expensive, hassle to run, impractical. but it's hell cool in a geek way just to see a game run on 6 monitors at once.

yes a Ferarri is impractical in terms of gas milage, passanger/cargo capacity but its awesome to have one.

It's sorta silly to claim impractical as a reason, when most surround gaming is impractical to begin with. It's done because it can be done. People like to push the limits. :wink:

No, it's still much wider than 16:9. It would actually be half of 5040 x 1050.

5040 / 1050 = 4.8
5040 / 2100 = 2.4
16 / 9 = 1.77777
16 / 10 = 1.6
