Hi Guys I need a simple ‘yes or ‘no’ answer to my questions if that is possible – just ordered a new computer and it comes complete with a Dell UltraSharp 1907FP 19-inch Black Flat Panel LCD as standard. Option 1 - Now the questions, it seems you can use a 20.1 inch widescreen monitor in the centre and two 19 inch at the sides, but it causes some problems and is not generally recommended? Option 2 - Would I be best to purchase two identical dell monitors (UltraSharp 1907FP 19-inch Black Flat Panel LCDs)? Option 3 – Or should I consider buying a Dell Ultrasharp 2407WFP 24" widescreen LCD Flat monitor? Option 4 - Should i look into buying three Dell UltraSharp™ 2007WFP 20.1" Widescreen LCD's? - Or is the resolution comprimised? All suggestions and recommendations are welcomed – although please try and keep the jargon to a minimal as I cannot understand half of what you guys are saying. Thanks in advance Lea |

My comments: 1) Option 1 - Not recommened Option 2 - yes, I recommend this Option 3 - good alternative if you dont want to use TH2G for 3 monitors Option 4 - Not recommended 2) It is best to have 3 identical monitors (not just size but also the brand) to achieve best overall consistent image quality and performance across them. So, forget option 1 3) If you use three 2007WFPs, its native resolution of 1680 x 1050 is not supported by TH2G (which supports triple 1280 x 768 or triple 1280 x 720). If it is not supported, then image quality will be compromised to a certain extent. So, forget option 4 4) If you dont use TH2G for 3 monitors and opt for a single monitor, 2407 is a good choice. Hence, option 3 is ok. 5) For 3 identical Dell 1907FP, you can set them up with each monitor at their native resolution of 1280 x 1024 and this is the max resolution supported by TH2G. You have same response time, color quality and screen resolution across. This is the best option. |

Thanks for the reply! Finding it very diffcult to decide on what to do :cry: Narrowed it down to the following: 1. Either a 24" dell widescreen - single monitor. 2. Another two additonal 19" monitors and have tripehead2go Cost wise, not that different - but would give me the best playing experience? Help :? Cheers Lea :oops: |

Triplehead is oh so much more fun than a single monitor. :) |

But will it really enhance my gaming that much from a 24" widescreen monitor? I don't know - that's why I am asking, because I don't want to purchase a single monitor and find I should have gone for three :roll: Decisions!!! |

I've done some gaming in "faux surround" (check my sig). I've got a Dell 3007WFP, and I *SO* want a TH2Go setup. Surround looks that much cooler, IMHO. |

Three 19" monitors with TH2G vs. Single 24"/30" monitor I think this depends on what kind of games you play most. If you play strategy games like Age of Empire or SimCity, then a single large monitor makes more sense. But if your genre is shooting, then a surround setup fits better. |

But if your genre is shooting, then a surround setup fits better. Or if you like racing... :D http://www.matroxrulez.net/videos/rbr_surround.wmv http://www.matroxrulez.net/videos/rbr_surround_incar.wmv |
