Widescreen Gaming Forum

So I was wrong. Thanks, I'll check that out. ;)

Well, I won't say you're wrong until it works for you, because if there's one thing I have learned from this forum, it's that many different people have many different experiences with the same software lol!

AOC 2434PW: Works great

Hi Guys

Another newbie here. I have been reading and it seems as if I'm OK however, I wanted to check with the PRO's here and make sure.

I have 2 (23") LG W2361's LCD Monitors and another one under the Christmas tree with a THTG Digital.

Here are my monitor supported refresh rates

Hertz
25
29
30
59
60

The Matrox System Compatibility Tool tells me that my system is only good for 3 x 1280 x 1024 or 3 x 1360 x 768

From what I read, it seems the new THTG drivers support the maximum resolution of 5040 x 1050 @ 59 Hertz

Will I be able to run at 5040 x 1050 resolution?

Is this correct?

Hi Stang,

Advertised refresh rates are of no help here, 1680x1050@57Hz is certainly not a factory-tested mode, so you'll have to try and see for yourself. Given LG's ratio of 'known working' vs. 'problem' models (5/0), chances are this won't be an issue, hopefully you'll confirm that soon ;)
Samewise, Matrox System Compatibility Tool is no Word of God. Which graphics card and OS will you be using ?

Thanks for the quick response.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 running on Windows Vista 64 Bit

If you update your TH2G firmware and download the PowerDesk 2.06, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use 5040x1050 regardless of your monitor, as it can run at 59Hz. This has been the case for me so far.

However, as we have seen, not everyone can seem to run it for some unknown reason (even if they had monitors that can support 57Hz), and there exists the reason for people's frustrations.

I can't find a download for this file

PowerDesk 2.06

Is it a Matrox file or something else?

Thanks
