Can anyone that doesn't get their monitors to play nice on 5040x1050 @ 57hz try out this?:

Gateway FHD2401 - WORKS

Packard Bell Viseo 230WS and Gateway FHD2401 added to the Known Working list.

This list rocks and it was really helpful to me, I have bought 24 VX2240w monitors that all work great connected to Triplehead2Gos.

Just a query though, if the TH2G now supports 59Hz, which is one of the most supported resolutions, is there a need to buy 57Hz capable monitors anymore?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 5040@59Hz is a custom res that supposedly works - not the actual res applied by PD's Setup Wizard, which is still 5040@57Hz afaik. It's a workaround for custom timings, which can be useful for people having difficulty applying 5040x1050 on newer drivers, but it has little to do with actual monitor capabilities really. :?:

My monitors work fine at 59Hz. They were not on the list, in fact, i haven't seen a single case where someone hasn't been able to run any set of monitors at 59Hz.

Monitor Model Number: Dell S2309W

Samsung 2053BW does not work with 57hz it just goes on osd and locks up blank, unless there a way to overright that

No it's not custom, I just installed a fresh TH2G into a fresh PC running Windows XP and using the latest Matrox PowerDesk (2.06) and the latest Nvidia drivers as of yesterday and 5040x1050x60Hz(59) was in the list of standard resolutions in the PowerDesk Setup Wizard.

It was not present in PowerDesk 2.05.

Download Matrox PowerDesk 2.06 and run it at 59Hz?

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