I'm curious if anyone can recommend any good DisplayPort or miniDD minitors running at 1920x1080/1920x1200/2048x1152 resolution.
I'm curious because I'm waiting for ATis 5870 that has 6 mini display port jacks.
Something with a thin bezel (thinner the better, being a 3x monitor setup), and only a TN panel, due to price unless if you can find a good ISP/whatever panel at a great price, them I'm all ears. The amount of light bleeding in my TN is quite horrid...
Intended for a 3 monitor setup now, but hopefully one day a 6 or 9 monitor set up...
I currently have a nice monitor, but I'll just give it to my brother.
And then, a guie on putting a second 16 amp fuse rail for my house to accomodate the extra power usage of 5870 CF and 3 monitors. ^_^
Thank you very much.
Damn, they're both so expensive. Don't know if I can whip up the money for three of those...
Seems like I may skip waiting for the 5870 6x miniDD and get a current one. Use the two DVI and use a HDMI to DVI for the third monitor... pick up two more of my current monitor (yay, it's cheap), and completely ignore the possible 6 monitor possibility. =/
Actually... I'll buy one Dell SP2309W and use its HDMI and buy another Samsung 2343. Though the Dell is more eexpensive, it's also 2048x1152 (as my current Samsung 2343) at 23". It's sexy, and I think it may look good as the centerpeice of the trio.
So, does the 5870 support two DVI and one HDMI? Or is the display port need for a 3x setup like I've heard somewhere else?
You should use an active DP to DVI adaptor (not the passive ones) and get monitor like the ones you already have, prefeably the exact same model (or as close as you can get).
I've browsed WideScreenGamingForum a few times reently, too bad I missed that. Thank you ever so very much CarrellK.
Though now I'm stuck wondering if I should get the 5870 1GB at all. I know it typically takes a 2560x1600 (4096000 pixels) with AA and AF to stress a 1GB, but a 3x2048x1152 (7077888 pixels) would seem to go far over a 1GB barrier once and AA or AF is enabled. Though I think I'd get the standard 5870 2GB (2xDVI, 1xhdmi/DP) over the 6xminiDP version (to avoid getting 3 adaptors, and likely a more expensive card).
Grrr... I know I should wait, but the impatience, it's killing me... I've waited for these cards for a long time!
