Just hooked up my two U2410's to each side of my Samsung 25.5 and it is just incredible, I run iRacing sim and this take it to a whole new level! Hell I couldnt even get my wife off it and she never had the slightest interest in running laps....now she does...LOL. So far no problem other than a occasional blink on my right monitor which is connected via display port. My 5870 seems to do real good with no issues. Thanks for all the info here it was a big help!

Are you running with a dp monitor? Any adapters? I have a 5970 and 3 1680x1050 monitors. 2 with dvi and 1 with minidp to dp adapter then dp to vga monoprice adapter. I just ordered a dell p2210 dp monitor and a monoprice minidp to dp cable. I will be hugely unhappy if I sprung another $250 and I still get the on/off of the dp monitor. I have read here that a dp monitor is not getting the on/off flicker that the vga and active dvi adapters are getting. Thanks for the reply.

ThevU2410 has built in DP porp .no adapters here. Th DP just flickers from time to mostly in window does seem to happen in game.

I totally get that. I only dabbled in racing games before. I briefly tried GPL years ago, still have a red Momo force wheel from that era. Since then, nothing, I didn't even know if the wheel still worked. After getting Eyefinity, I bought RaceOn/Race 07 package on Steam, and a couple of weeks ago I joined Iracing. Having a 3 monitor setup for racing is like the difference between "being in the car" vs driving while looking through a port-hole.

I'm now looking to get a better wheel setup, maybe a G27 or a GT3 CS edition.

Btw, a couple of times playing Left4Dead, I find myself turning my head to look behind me to find my teammates. Of course they aren't there, we don't have real surround gaming yet. It's just funny that I felt so "actually being there" that I would do that.
