Done.
Are most of you guys using DVI to display port adapters, or do your monitors support DP natively? What games have you played that you like the most? Did you have any trouble getting your Eyefinity set up?

I'm using active mini DP to DVI on my 3rd panel. My monitors don't have native DP. They are samsung BX2431's, which are great value 24" LED LCD's.
My favorite games in eyefinity have been BFBC2, Dirt 3(very awesome in eyefinity), Dirt 2, NFS Hot Pursuit, and of course good old WoW. It makes raiding and PVP that much more awesome. No one can sneak up on me. |

For those of you that use them, please post a link to your mini DP to DVI adapters. Might be some help to others interested in going this route.
Just trying to get some discussion going here...

Here is what I'm using for eyefinity: http://www.accellcables.com/products..._sl_active.htm - $18.95 @ Fry's
This is an active single link, so it has a limitation on maximum resolution. If you want to go higher than 1920x1200 you need an active powered adapter. Last edited by LordJummy; Aug 17, 2011 at 11:33 PM. |

lol - it's actually a Creative 5.1 set I bought here on TPU a long time ago. Works decent, but half the time I use the headphones anyway.

Is there a faster way to enable Eyefinity then having to go through the process of each monitor and then arranging it?
I tried doing it through the presets to no avail.

i have always had a problem with arrangement whether eyefinity or not. everytime i switch configs from 1/2 to 3 monitors it messes with their locations.
i reset prefs according to what it does naturally, and it still goes wrong. i re-plug monitors so what ccc sees as 1-2-3 is in the order i want, no longer that order for ccc. i just resigned myself to re-arrangement.

Digibucc, thast's dependant on what monitor was connected first, and which is listed as the "first" in your system config. I went through the same problem, tried changing how the monitors were connected and all that.
At least now the interface in CCC is alot easier to use, so it's not as much of a problem any more. |

I hope to be joining soon..I have 2 HP2159M's and and Asus 22" LED, the Asus pannel is very vivid compared to the HPs so Im not sure if its a good idea or not to use it.
I have an older Acer 20" that will work rather well but I not sure about the a/r Acer AL2016W Bb Black 20" 5ms Widescreen LCD Moni... or I could use a Sharp LCD TV with a pc port, it supports 1080i http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-t....html?tag=rnav comments? I would like to just buy 3 of the same 22-24" but it would be to much hassle unloading the monitors I have now to off set the cost. |

What I did was sell a couple of my older LCD's and bought three identical ones. I found three Samsung BX2431 24 LEDLCD's at a great price so I got them and never looked back. Oh then I added fourth screen for portrait mode sepeately, for work purposes.

I had mixed monitors and sold all three to buy 3 of one kind. Mine were mixed sizes and it wasn't the best mosving the mouse along the bottom from one screen to another.
You do want the same resolution/aspect ratio or else eyefinity won't work. However, I would put the Asus in the middle as you would mostly look at that one during the game, and the HP's on the sides would be mostly peripheral. If you have it, you can use the Asus spendid feature on the monitor (I have it on my 3 and on my last model) to quickly change the brightness/color to more closely match the other two.
