Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hi
im a new member on this site. I have searched around the internet for my questions but with no luck. My computer setup which i have recently just bought is:

Windows 7 HP - SP1 (64-bit)
Intel core i3 @ 3.07GHz
8GB RAM
GeForce GTS 450
3072 x 768 (32bit) (75Hz)
using a Matrox TH2G (VGA)
three 18.5in screens (VGA)

So i have everything running and can play games etc. my questions are...

1. I cannot seem to find Bezel management system anywhere! i searched the internet and it seems it was on Matrox power desk. I already downloaded that but there is no option for it.
So im looking for a solution for the bezel management either a way to get it on MPD or an external program that deals with it.

2. on all of my screens the image is slightly blurry. basically for example the refresh button on the address bar for the internet. if you look closely there is a shadow of the image thats shifted to the right. this is on pretty much everything on all screens if u concentrate and look at everything. its not a major problem and i havent noticed it in games but if theres a solution that would be great.
i have tried clicking the 'auto' button on my screens and messing around with the screen settings but no luck.

3. triple screen software. Im having trouble finding software for three screen monitors. i think that might solve some of my problems, though i have Matrox SGU and Matrox Power Desk already though they dont seem very good. As far as i am aware SGU is just settings for games. and my power desk doesnt seem like i have alot of options for changing things. any recomendations would be great. my main use that i would like out of software for TSM would be...
well i dont know the exact names of the type of things i want to do so ill explain it:

- i want to be able to have desktop icons of websites on specific monitors then when i click them they load up in the designated monitors. for example in monitor 1 there would be a shortcut when i click facebook comes up. then in screen 2 i click another shortcut and hotmail and google will pop up in that screen etc.

- i also want the capability to switch my screen from one large 3000 x700 to three 1000 x 700
at the minuite it doesnt seem to have the option in MPD either

- also have some kind of shortcut key/icon to change predetermined settings such as 1.gaming 2.internet etc

at the minuite im just shifting my monitor position (left and right screen slightly overlapped by center) to avoid the bezels. though this isnt that bad and to be honest i only get 1cm of blocked vision rather than 2 if i use some bezel management software, though i would prefer to have everything so i can choose.



I have just recently bought this setup and will still be searching for answers though any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

1: sadly I do not have a matrox device so I cannot tell you how to setup bezelmanagement , although I am sure someone can.
2: Check your VGA cables, poor quality cables can causing ghosting/shadowing effects, try a heavy duty/shielded VGA cable.
3: Do a Search for "Ultra-Mon" and "hydragrid" these may be of hep to you for some of the features that you are looking for.
