3 Displays on 3770K

I'm pretty sure your mobo doesn't support 3 monitors, I think only mobos with at least 2 DP ports can run 3 screens as 2 connections need to be via DP.

But as you ordered the GPU it doesn't matter anyway

I just remember that was part of the hype regarding ivy bridge. particularly from linus tech tips. I gave up in the end and just ordered a OC Sapphire 2GB HD7850

Do you have active display port adapters?

Hey man yeah i had it all ready to go and as you can see from the pics it is set up. However the screen on the furthest left seems to be in a box? Like having an extra bezel around it? it is the one on HDMI

It occurs whether or not i have the screens in a group (catalyst control centre) or basic windows screen resolution set up.

Any suggestions?

I can get the screen to be filled, just not in 1920x1080 (1600x900)

have you extended the desktop?

I will say I find it very strange you have 3 screens and don't use a dedicated GPU though. (vga can not be used for 3 screens either)

Hey Tom,

i was wondering as you have used the ProLite E273HDS you may have seen this problem?
The Manual Image Adjust (and the Auto Image Adjust) being greyed out

I think stretching the monitor both along both axes will finally complete my eyefinity setup

PS Memory Recall makes no difference.

Finally!

After hours of playing around and checking forums, the answer was to do with scaling inside Catalyst Control Center on the HDMI monitor!!

Now to work out how to span a movie across all 3 screens using VLC!

Thanks guys!

Lol that wouldn't work

Nah, the program itself would stretch, but the video inside would be max of 1080p - you'd never get 5760x1080 video without some stupid stretching which would make it unwatchable anyway

Exactly lol... I wasn't referring to VLC

There seem to be quite a few videos out there (although i can't get it to work) they say vlc will work across multiple screens, something to do with a video wall？

It would look awful, movies are rendered in 16:9 (generally) it's going to be ridiculously stretched and look crap
