Hello,

I play Flight Simulator X and Battlefield Bad Company 2. The image on display 1 and 3 (outer screens) is a little stretched and it seems that it gets more stretched from the inner side to the outer side. Is this normal?

I see "fat" soldiers in display 1 and 3 playing battlefield. At FSX per example, the panel gauges become stretched when I turn my head (with track IR) and look to the same gauge going from the center screen to the side screens.

I have TH2GO Digital Edition, but searching for a solution I saw many pictures and videos of users playing with either TH2GO or Eyefinity and most of them had this outer screen stretching.

Does any of you also see this?

My video card is a 4870X2 @5760x1080 and I use the dual-link DVI cable provided with TH2G. My monitors are AOC LED 2343 23". I have all the latest drivers, and I do not use bezel management.

If I understand you correctly, the effect is called fisheye, and its a byproduct of how most games render and is thus not fixable, you can reduce it by changing the FOV but normally you should be focusing on the centre monitor and not the edges. If you are focusing on the centre monitor so long as the effect isn't to extrema then you won't notice it.

We used to have a FAQ on it but I'm not sure where it is now, so google Fisheye effect and you'll be able to find more information on it.

As Skid said, this is normal, and it happens in "regular" Aspect Ratios as well, there's some information about it in this thread should you have the time:

Thanks everybody. I didn't know the name was "fisheye" so I was having a hard time to find information about it.
