    I really hope this gets generalised and NVidia incorporates something like Eyefinity

    So is that using a Triple Head 2 Go or are you using an ATI card then?

    ATI Card.

    When I set it up, I thought the huge bezel of my screens would bother me A LOT, actually, I dont notice the Bezel.

    On the other hand, the center screen is a second generation of my other 2, and the colors are way off, and THAT IS extremely distracting. So I am asking anyone here that might have an answer, Is there a way to somehow, even tho the computer thinks the 3 screens as one to actually use a software for color correction on each one? (although I doubt it ><) This is the kind of problems that are capable of getting me to go out and buy matching monitors....and I really dont want to do that.

    Other than that, the immersion in game is indescribable.

    I haven't used Eyefiniti, but it seems that when you're NOT using eyefiniti that you should be able to set up each monitor individually for proper colors. Then when you go with eyefiniti it seems like it should keep those settings for each monitor. If not then you'll have to use the monitor's built-in color correction. That is also a pain.

    I know the issue, kind of. I have my big screen TV, and hooked an older Dell monitor to it as an extension monitor to go to the adjacent room, displaying what's on the main TV. From my computer desk I can see both TV and monitor and colors are completely different. I can't imagine how bad it would be if it's supposed to be one continuous image with colors all off.

    I'm looking at that keyboard, and I keep thinking.

    I remember a thread about whether people use inverted y-axis in games. I couldn't understand how people could aim down and yet get a headshot.

    But wouldn't it be crazy awesome if you could play some sonata and run around killing people. C# is shoot, a scale is grenade, and so on.

    I was able to set each monitor BEFORE turning on eyefiniti, but it seemed that once i activated it, then it applied ONE of the profile to all of them

    Yea I had to resort in using the built in screen color calibration, but man that is a pain, I got it to an ok state, I mean its not THAT bad now, but still not enough :p

    Im just not that good with the color thingy, add to that brightness, contrast and gama....ouch. + you cant correct each colors gama/brightness independently with the screens calibration.

    I'll retry the software calibration like you said without eyefinity and then activate it, see if I was mistaken until someone that has Eyefinity comes up with a solution.

    LOL! :)

    You might want to get in touch with ViciousXUSMC here at NBR. He's got a nice Eyefiniti desktop setup and is a very detail oriented guy. Just tell him I sent you and he'll be sure screw you up, er, help you out! ;)
