DB, that's a hot display. Congrats!

It doesn't look like you're running WQXGA though. Does your video card not support that resolution?

Talk about a waste of real estate to only have one window open in full screen...gotta have two.

Nice setup though.

It is running on my Hypersonic FX 7 laptop which uses a Geforce Go 7800 GTX card. I can't figure out how to get the res to max. My ALX (clone trooper painted) has dual 7800 GTX 512s but it not hooked up yes as I am RMAing a videocard.

The monitor is sweet.

Your 7800go GTX can't drive the monitor at max resolution, it's limited to 2048x1536 on analogue and 1920x1200 for DVI.

I have been reading some reviews that the 30" doesnt scale resolutions very well and the controls basicaly only have brightness and contrast?

As far as I'm aware ths display is DVI only - as with any DVI driven device, the controls for the monitor are modified through the PC not the monitor itself.

From a review I've seen, they say the next lowest resolution from the top is 1600x900. Is this correct? If so, that's terrible and I wouldn't recommend it.

I bought it for the ALX with the 7800 GTX 512s in mind (since they should be able to drive the monitor and have decent frame rates in games).

I just wanted to see how it looked with the laptop.

They will be able to drive the monitor at native resolution but they're going to struggle gaming at that resolution, depends what you define as 'decent' framerates. Most of the people I know with the 30 inch display and dual 7800GTX 512's are finding the best solution is to drop down to 1280x800 (half the resolution) therefore you're not interpolating and you can crank up the AA. As an example, FEAR only averages 36fps at 1920x1440 with 4xAA.

You can see why Dell are releasing a quad 7800GTX 512MB SLI system, that should be able to drive the massive 2560x1600 resolution.

So from what I read it has 2 resolutions and thats it? 25XXx16xx or whatever it is and 1280x900 or whatever it is? Nothing in between? If their is inbetwene resoolutions then it is centered with black borders? If their is in between resolutions, which resolutions does it support?

Thanks

No, it will handle resolutions in between but as with any other TFT monitor they will be stretched to fill the screen (and therefore interpolated) or it may support ratio aspect scaling which would give you black borders.

I was reading a review on hexus, they said all scaling is done by the video card. The monitor doesnt have the chip/ability to do internal scaling. So it was making me slightly nervous that if i had to run a game at say 1600x1200 or wehatever that it would have black borders around it. Unless their is no black borders when you turn monitor scale across the whole panel. i can handle the slight stretching, been using ws monitor/laptop for over couple years now so I am kind of use to it.

I am seriously considering dumping the 2g's but i want to make sure of the limitations and i can live with them. I will be hooking it up a maxhine running a ati x1900xtx 512mb card fro now may add crossife master in the mix in the next month or so. But I am just making sure the moinitor will be usable and decent if not able to game at native res, etc. The windows res will be great with photoshop and some video editing and 3d stuff i do.
