The have's and the have nots. Your response is a have not. And yes, I have a small penis. I say that since you need something to feel better about ..

Maybe you'd like to rent the hooker in my avatar tho?

If you think I'm jealous of what you have, think again. I could have 3 pc's with that setup but I don't see the need for it.

Posted: **Sat Sep 04, 2004 10:29 pm**

No, I don't think that, but I did get the desired reaction out of you, thanks for that

Posted: **Sat Sep 04, 2004 10:32 pm**

LOL! I want that! GIMME GIMME GIMME!

Oh God... what I would do for 3 monitors.

Stress, you only got that reaction cause I knew you wanted it. Now stop playing and run along.

Posted: **Sat Sep 04, 2004 10:54 pm**

Quick, someone come up with a way to turn that into a general purpose forum pic!

LOL

*bows*

If my TV had S-video input I'd be a tri-monitor whore too.

No, you'd go blind.

unless, yer using that monitor for music visualization or something.

Text from PC's on TVs is just crap, even with S-Video.

Posted: **Sat Sep 04, 2004 11:40 pm**

You can't run the s-video out and the dual heads at the same time MD, won't work.

Flip, I agree, text is crap on standard TV. On a high def though... MMMmmmmmmm And composite single yellow rca is better then Svid anyday.

is merl still squeekin?

lurb you my canadia whore

Posted: **Sat Sep 04, 2004 11:43 pm**

S-Video kicks the crap out of composite.

but,if you had an HDTV, why would one even consider S-video?

like eww.

RGB all the way.

So did you join me in Parhelia land or is there another card that does triplehead now?

Well damn!

yeah, atleast on the GF4 its readable now.

And composite single yellow rca is better then Svid anyday.

*snickers* You actually loose picture area with composite and coax. Granted, its not by a large margin (something like 20 pixels or so), but it is noticable.

flip: Yeah, I've had the chance to compare svideo and component for HD, and component looked ALOT better.

I disagree totally. Over and over I've compaired and every time conposite is better than Svideo. Svideo was a great idea, don't get me wrong. But industry wide it was implimented poorly.

And I do have a highdef, 3 days old

And you know I am using componant YbPbR

The photo is of Walter Peak, with The Remarkables Mountains on the left hand side. Lake Hayes is in the foreground. I lived there for 12 years.

Nice to see you with a New Zealand wallpaper Bill.

Posted: **Sun Sep 05, 2004 5:03 pm**

How did you do that? Do you need two video cards or one with 3 connections (VGA, DVC and SVID) or is there something special you can buy?

I've given consideration to doing that with my monitors but I could never quite figure out how and I've never put that much time into it....

Must be nice to be able to afford not just 1 but 3 nice big flatscreens. I've got dual monitors setup, but I have a 19" that has a convergence problem on the red, and a crappy old 15" Acerview 54e that is trying to fade to black. Thing is, I actually use all the desktop space, and wish I had a 3rd monitor... and a second vc.

Both of mine are 17". Primary is a CTX 17" (Model X70) with the secondary being a Lite-On B1770NSL. The second monitor I got a as a give-a-way years ago. (basically, it was a "if you can fix it, its yours" deal) The only thing wrong with it is that the blue gun is a little flaky. Sometimes it'll fire up normally, but most of the time it doesn't. When it does fire, the display is beautiful...even though the dot pick is 0.27mm.

Stress- Is it better do something like your setup or buy something like this:

Posted: **Mon Sep 06, 2004 1:21 am**

I've read that some games are geared to take advantage of 3 screens. I think anything or most any game built on the Quake 3 engine does.

I'll see if I can find the article.

Posted: **Mon Sep 06, 2004 1:26 am**

Yep - Q3 engine supports as many monitors as you like - span-wise. I had had it running on two - but it's no good because half of the retivle appears on each screen. So for those engines you need an odd number of screens.

Posted: **Mon Sep 06, 2004 3:35 am**

Actually there was a way to do Doom with three monitors.

Two schools of thought on this one.

1) Next to no gap between monitor panels and damn sexy looking.

2) Way more expensive then using individual monitors.

I'm from the 2nd school. While they are hot, they are very expensive. I like my toys, but c'mon, reality has to step in sometime right?

9xmedia.com has them going as many as 64 screens. But the line I would choose from goes up to 10

But that is oer 10 grand for one using 15" panels. talk about 18"s like I am using and were at somewhere in the 17K range. That's a new car

They don't use 18" on 9X, but for 3-way 19" they charge $5,599. I did'nt spend anywhere near that. Through some smart horse trading and taking advantage of some good coupon deals in the past, I have a whopping $1,445 into these 3 panles. I look at it like I saved 4 grand

Posted: **Mon Sep 06, 2004 10:53 am**

who the hell would need 10 screens?

Posted: **Mon Sep 06, 2004 11:04 am**

if I gave you a name you might say "Why?" and I would say, because they can.

Who knows, but someone buys them
