I'm trying to track down two more Samsung SyncMaster 245B monitors in like-new condition. I believe the monitor has been discontinued because I can't find it "new" anywhere, and there are hardly any ads for it on sites like ebay.
If anyone knows of a good place to check for these, please let me know here!
Why do you want that specific monitor, just to ask.
So it matches, silly.Quote:

also, hai Limited.
Exactly this, my minor OCD wouldn't be able to stand having a triple-monitor setup with different monitors.Quote:

Be careful about buying same-model monitors at different times. I bought my two monitors (Acer AL2216Ws) about ten months apart, and although they are the exact same model, they are different. They are different heights (I had to put stuff under one of them to make them sit at the same height), the color is not as good on one of them, and there are some other subtle differences.
Unfortunately, this will almost always happen between any two displays, even if the LCDs are exactly the same, especially in lower-end/budget models.Quote:

I might go soft and buy three 22" monitors (SyncMaster 2243BW's) because they're cheaper and due to the resolution restrictions implemented in TripleHead2Go. I'm going to be using TripleHead instead of SoftTH because I'll be using GTX 285's in SLI, and since SLI only outputs to one DVI port I can't use SoftTH.
The other option is to buy two SyncMaster 245T's and place em on either side of my 245B. Height isn't really an issue because they all have adjustable height stands, as well as tilt and pivot.
SyncMaster 2253BW ftw. :P
Too glossy and consumer looking for my needs.Quote:

TH2Go still works with 24" monitors, it just forces the resolution down to what it can deal with. :(Quote:

Can't find any new ones, but NCIX has two open-box units for sale right now. The exact monitor you're asking for.

Already tried to buy them, and when you actually get to the check out it says "The product (24159) was discontinued and removed from the shopping cart". Not sure if it's a site glitch or what, I'll email them.Quote:

This is going to be a BEAST of a setup, unfortunately I had to loan for the monitors off my parents until I can pay for them completely (since I can't get a job right now). Can't use them until I pay for them in full :(, fuck you economy!

You can output SLi to 2 DVI ports as long as they're on the same card I believe.
You just cannot output to 3, 4, 5, 6... without turning off SLi temporarily (or have a third unmatched videocard)
Keep note -- I haven't done SLi yet. Just was on nVidia's website.

However I'm going to get the GTX 285 next so I can SoftTH until I get TripleHead2Go. Also, does anyone know of a S-Video - DVI converter that's fairly cheap? I'd like to use all three monitors on a single card until I get the other one.
