As you can do triple monitor 120hz 2d gaming - that's where it's at!

Best go drag my triple monitor stand out of the shed ,glad I didnt give that away

My samsung is still being processed for RMA, do you think if i can negotiate with them for a refund I'm better off buying 2 more dell alienwares instead of samsung panels? the difference is going to be 120+ $ per panel for the left and right of my existing Dell which i was going to put a samsung on either side of, the extra size just seems to = less fps, and the detail doesnt seem that important on what are essentially peripheral screens (with large bezels either way)

Yeah I think so ..good luck though

Did you say it was DOA ?

'Tis, havent heard back from the Scorptec DOA manager for more than a week now though, I assume they have it by now but i really ought to email him to find out more. Wouldn't the 22" panels be advantageous as left/right for maintainting as close to 120fps constant as possible in eyefinity, 3d or not? the extra pixels seem like dead weight to me, notwithstanding the obvious superiority of the Dell panels over the Samsungs (and subsequent increased cost). FWIW I'm running 2x 5870, may upgrade my CPU relatively soon, and if theres a good way to utilise VMware or tricky distributed computing things, maybe I can put GPU processing in a server I'm in the process of buying here (dual 3.6 xeons for 250 bucks including postage, I have NFI why they didn't get taken sooner?) to take some of the load for eyefinity or other things, maybe gigabit lan is too slow delay wise? I really have no idea what's possible and what should/shouldn't be in the near future.

It seems i have a problem with the drivers maybe with ati as i cant select more than 60hz im running catalyst 10.5 and the lcd is is 1920 x 1080 i hate this border. But the fill screen is not quite clear. Anyone has similar problems and know how to fix this.

That I do.

Anyone with the Alienware screens + ATI = send me a holla for 120hz goodness.

ATI don't support it natively yet.

anthony256 AT gmail.com and I'll reply with the driver
