I have had one for awhile, and loved it. When they had a two-for-one price sale, I jumped on that.

Fair enough.

But still, I think a single 34'' Ultra wide is way better. The hight on that 25'' must be terrible.  :unsure: 

Btw.: There are dozens of adapters on amazon... :P

and also cables...

Hey all,

Running an MSI 980Ti Twin Frozr

3xDisplayPort

1xDVI

1xHDMI

 

Posted a few days ago about my troubles with getting three LG Ultrawides to work at full resolution with my adapter army. I finally got two working at max res using a DVI->HDMI Adapter paired with the pure HDMI connection already existing from my card. Now all I have left to work with are the Displayports, and I have one more monitor to get working. 

 

Did some searching, and I am having a hard time finding something that will do the job. Preferably under $30, and on Amazon or Newegg.

 

Thanks in advance.

like sauron said, why aren't you using displayport? as it's easier to just grab a cable than bugger about with adaptors.

You have 3 DisplayPorts.

You have 3 Displays.

Why do you need adapters?  :huh:

 

Ugh forgot to explain.

 

The ultrawides only have two HDMI ins for IO.

There are only two monitors on LG's UltraWide setup and you bought one of them? Q_Q

All the 26 other displays have DisplayPort. ._.''

LG 25UM57s

 

Epic monitors, giving me a nightmare to go with all the screen real-estate.

I'm sorry I'm not of any help in your situation, but I have a question. I've been looking around for a new monitor and I've eyed the one you have. Would you recommend it?

Definitely. If you are feeling budget-minded, and want more screen real-estate, this monitor is the perfect match. Have had it for 5 months now, and recommend it to anyone looking for a much cheaper Ultrawide with excellent colors.
