Phoenix Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Thoughts? I'm getting a new system and have a "wide screen" monitor already but it's probably 6 years old. I'm guessing its a 21? Wondering how well CM looks across dual screens. Does the bezel of the screens screw up the feel when placed side by side? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I have a 37" tv I use as a monitor, and CM definitly looks better on it. As far as two monitors I would buy a big tv and use that instead as your monitor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I knew there was a CM section having to do with multiple monitors somewhere. http://www.matrox.com/graphics/surroundgaming/en/games/supported/cmsf/?ref=cmsf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Another thought.... the 4K option. Expensive now but will come down in price over the next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That probably looks even better with the thinner tv frames thes days. If I had the cash to burn, and the room I would definitly try that out.

Yeah 4k would be awsome to check out! I wonder if the game supports it to that resolution? Edited December 18, 2014 by Vinnart 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leakyD Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I grabbed a used Dell 30" monitor a few yrs ago (2560x1600), and works GREAT for CM. Heck, it's great for EVERYTHING! Someday, I'll upgrade, but for now, all good. I'll prob upgrade my rig before next monitor (still humming on an old i5 CPU/video card from 2009. Yes, time to upgrade, I know....). Dual or triple head seems cool, but thats a LOT of space (almost overkill, IMHO) and your upgrade costs in 5yrs.... ugh.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan/california Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 If you can afford the 4k Samsung TV, a a video card to power it you shouldn't even consider anything else. You might want to arrange for intravenous feeding though. Because even on my 48" 1080 Sony parts of my brain start to melt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Phoenix, The following ONLY applies if you are married: Tell the S.O. that the ONE BIG MONITOR is all you ever really wanted. Then buy it. Go big. Way big. 4k and massive. Then, wait 2 or 3 months, and buy another. Have your cake, and eat it, too!! If the S.O. questions the 2nd one, tell her it's for her, and you're just breaking it in because the ANSI sRGB lumens are fluxing too high for safe viewing. That sets the groundwork for monitor number THREE! Oh, yes, this is how it's done... If you're NOT married, then, hell, buy 6 and set up an array! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
