Which monitor? has anyone tested multiple screens?

[He111]

ok, i've heard so people getting resolutions of 1920 x 1440 but all monitors i've checked out are max 1920 x 1080 ??? how do you get 1920 x 1440 or 1200 ??

BTW, has anyone tested COD with multiple monitors? Eyefinity?

I am running 5040x1050
3 x 22" samsungs, not the best solution atm due to performance, but it works great when over the sea. Eyefinity on a 6870

1920*1200 is your normal 16:10 monitor. I prefer it over the 16:9 ones which they most sadly are nowdays. PC use needs vertical room too!
Never head of an 1920*1440 tho wich would be your "normal" 4:3 monitor.

Hi all


Just joined this forum and this is my first post.


I fired up the game for the first time last night and noticed it defaulted to resolution of 6088 x 1200, with no other choices. Now I am running 3 x 23" Samsumg LED monitors so my correct resolution should be 5760 x 1200.

The view from the cockpit looks horrible, everything is huge. Will have to look at how to sort tis out. Outside views look ok across the three screens.

I am running on ATI 6970.


Cheers

im running 2 monitors:

il2 wstill has the tunnel vision issue: you wont gain extra FOV by placing more monitors = you willl loose it...

How did you get your resolution to set at 5040 x 1050 ?

Can you expand a bit more on what you wrote.


Many thanks

Not to difficult. First you set up eyefinity desktop in the CCC or on the resolution settings in windows (win 7 on my end)
Then you load the game :)

Standard eyefinity settings. Cannot get that resolution on a single screen :)

Yes that is true, but is is a lot easier to have a good overview on 3 screens than just the 1. Well, depending on the size of course.

I'm running 3 1920x1080 screens in eyefinity mode.

You need to use the magical mouse combination to change FOV to make the cockpit view usable. Look in the key settings, category "Camera", option "Hold to Adjust Field of View" to see the key you need. I think the default mapping is something like: hold down mouse button 5 (or is it 4?), then simultaneously press down the mouse wheel, then move the mouse backward/forward to change FOV.

It would be nice to be able to select a default FOV somewhere, because I have to do this each time I enter the cockpit.

Thanks guys for your replies. I will try your suggestion Dave. That was what I was lookig for in the controls menu but obviously missed it.

6088x1200 is your bezel-corrected resolution and is correct to use. If you turn bezel-correction off your resolution will change to be 5760x1200. (not that you'd want to do that of course!)

So wait, do you actually get a proper 3 monitor view out of this, with what you would normally see on the center and extra real estate on the periphery? Or is it just a blown up version of the normal FOV?

I have 3 monitors but haven't been able to get them going with COD yet.


Thanks!

You can edit the "End", "PageDown" and "Delete" key´s FOV, watch this thread :

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=20399

I did not try but bind a free key under [HotKey pilot] may work "f=fov120" for example.

Edit :

Forget it, looks like the FOV key bin range is between 30-90
