Forget about that max pixel count... It's confusing at best. Even a single 8800 GT can display 5040x1050, period. All you need to achieve that res using TH2G is a DX10-compliant nvidia card. (Yeah, that DX10 part is confusing, too) :lol: So it seems your panels can't do 1680x1050@57Hz, plain and simple. :( I'd love to see how it looks though. 26 "missing" pixels in height can't really ruin graphics I suppose. Could you post a couple game screenshots in the surround section ? List corrected, thanks for your input ! |

Good news :D :D I used the data for the user specific resolution in this thread: [url]http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/9732] and now 5040 * 1050 works on Samsung 2443BW :!: |

Well, your screenies are 1050 pixel high. So maybe that's just what is displayed and your monitors' OSD simply can't detect the actual res properly, since 1680x1050@57Hz is not a stock setting. I'll put your monitor model in a "special" sublist. :? Grek1956, good news indeed. List updated again ;) |

If only I knew what the indigenous code is for those clean little black dots the original list has and I can't even put an english name on !! :x Code: <ul>
<li>Monitor 1</li> <li>Monitor 2</li> <li>Monitor 3</li> </ul> [list] [*]Monitor 1[/*:m] [*]Monitor 2[/*:m] [*]Monitor 3[/*:m][/list:u] And they're called Bullet Points ;) |

Double thanks sir ! In french we call'em "puces" i.e "fleas". (All in all, squashing insects and wasting ammo both seem pretty moronic ways to write down lists. Ah, vocabulary and ways of life.) |

As a note, on my Dell 2208WFPs, I have to run the scaling at 1:1 for 5040x1050 to work properly. Otherwise it cuts off the bottom of the screen. 4320x900 (and everything else) is fine with "fill" scaling. The OSD shows 5040x1050 at 57Hz. |

I can confirm the new Samsung 2253BW has the issue with the OSD Not Optimal Range and then going black. If you hit the source button it will bring it back but again the message stays on screen and eventually turns back off again. I have 2 x 2253BW's and a 1 x 226BW. The 226BW I have works perfectly. --- Did anyone find a solution/trick to making various models of the Samsung happy? Someone said try Nvidia 175.19, did that solve the OSD message issue and allow you full 5040x1050? Thanks Tim |

Did anyone find a solution/trick to making various models of the Samsung happy? Hi Tim I'm currently running 3 Samsung 226BW's I was initially getting the OSD warning message on two out of the three panels. After I followed the instructions in this thread [url]http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/9799] the OSD warning hasn't reappeared. The most important step in setting up the cutom display is when doing the Back-End Parameters select CVT Reduced Blank as the timing standard and then select manual before changing the values. This changes the pixel clock and Horizontal scan rate which you can't otherwise modify. I've currently got values for Horizontal Scan Rate = 64.08 and Pixel Clock = 336.7500 I'm also using the new 180.48 Nvidia drivers and new 2.4.0.11 Matrox GXM (PowerDesk-SE). See if doing this helps you out. Regards, Nigel |
