Triple Monitor Setup.

Hello, I recently got my 2 new 24 inch monitors to place beside my BenQ XL2420T monitor. But when I try to play with them all via Nvidia Sorround, the monitors in the side seems to have a very big zoom on it. How to fix? Tried with both BF3 and TF2. Same thing.
 
They're all the same resolution. I do BF3 with 90 FOV. But it's the same on normal. If I turn to look with my side monitor, I can almost see a cross the map, and it is very pixelated.
 
Can you take a photo to show us the issue. I play BF3 @ 5760 x 1080 on the same monitors as you and there is some obvious stretching on the side ones but I'm pretty sure this is normal. For example have a look at this pic (not mine but shows what I mean):

If you've got something worse take a photo and post it, it'll help us help you.

Also what cables are you using to hook them up? I use DVI dual link (bottom right):
original

but from time to time the screen tells me I'm using the wrong type of cable... I just switch the screen mode and it seems to fix it and get rid of the message.

Cheers,
Ulijin.
 
I use a DVI Dual Link. But looking at your picture, it is looking way better in the sides! I'll take a picture when I get home. Is yours through Nvidia surround? Mine is, and it's causing this very large zoom in every game. Again, I'll take the picture when I get home.

pretty sure it does that :/ side screens meant to be your "peripheral vision" so to speak.

can se in this video the side screen are stretched as well

That might be right.. But it seems way too insane, when I see the screen in person. In pictures and videos of others, it looks better.

Here's my TF2.

I just tried starting bf3 again, mine is deff MUCH worse than in the video. Makes things look like they're right next to me, when they're far away.
 
Welcome to multi-monitor gaming. You will spend countless hours dicking around with settings rather than playing games.

It sucks so bad mate.
 
I think triple monitor gaming is too much hassle right now, I'd have a dual monitor set up just with the main one for gaming and the side one for other stuff, which is exactly what I did until one of my monitors died a couple of weeks ago lol.

I can't wait until curved ultra widescreens are easily available so that it's one curved screen the size of 3 1080p screens side by side, that'll be so awesome :) I hate the black bands between the screen in triple monitor setups
