I have 3 22' LG L227WTG-PF monitors. I notice it is listed as known working but when I try to use 5040x1050 at 57 hz with TH2G digital I get an out of range error on all monitors. What am I doing wrong? nvidia gtx 285 sc video card. I tried your fix in the stickeys, im lost. Thanks.

Hi there, it's hard to tell you if you're doing something wrong with so few details. ;)
Is this in Vista or XP ? Did you try the latest beta drivers from nvidia in addition to the beta GXM/PowerDesk-SE ?
Besides, the 'known working' monitor list is good for reference, but you should definitely take the time to disconnect your TH2G and try creating the custom res 1680x1050@57Hz on a single monitor, just to be sure.

I tried the test, it says it failed, even the lg website says it supports 57. Im on vista 64-bit. I did try the beta version.

-Edit-
I tried creating a custom res using the th2g, all 3 screens show up at 5040x1050 at 57 when I click test, but it says test failed and reverts back to 1 screen. Why is it failing when it works? Since it fails, I cant save it. It does work, screens look perfect just cant save because it says it fails.

-Edit- I tried 55, the test passes, why at 55 and not 57? Also, can't select 5040x1050 in games.

What driver? Some of the latest nV drivers have that stupid "Custom Test Failed" error even when it clearly doesnt.

Not being able to select in games may be "normal", some games will require you to edit ini files while others (like Dead Space) only show 60Hz resolutions. Ive manually created a 60Hz res "in Windows" (still 57Hz on the monitors to get around this. I can confirm the 182.37 driver works fine for this while the 185 driver had the "custom mode failed" error.

I've got it all working now. Using the latest nvidia drivers and the beta matrox software. Im at 5040x1050@57. That res. is also selectable in the game I play, left 4 dead. Im all set now. Thanks for the help.

Only problem now... finding wallpaper.
