WSGF Review - Ergotech Heavy Duty Triple Monitor Desk Stand

The fine folks at Ergotech contacted me in December about doing a review for one of their multi-monitor stands. After consulting with them, we ended up settling on the Ergotech Heavy Duty Triple Monitor Desk Stand. I've finished both the video review (posted on YouTube) and the written review. In short, the Ergotech Triple Desk Stand is a fine piece of hardware and comes highly recommended.

We've also set up a Discussion Thread where you can share your thoughts with Ergotech on what you'd like to see in a multi-monitor stand.

Bad Company 2 Beta - Detailed Report

Robbaz provided a Detailed Report of the Bad Company 2 Beta. The game is Hor+, including under TripleHead/Eyefinity. The HUD is not stretched, and it is centered. The game menus are also centered on the middle panel in TH/EF. If the retail copy performs in the same manner, the game should be Certified.

Avatar Gets Hor+ Patch for WS and TH/EF

scavvenjahh reports that Avatar: The Game received a widescreen and TripleHead/Eyefinity update with a recent patch. Previously the game was natively Vert-, and required an .ini edit for Hor+ gameplay. With update v1.01 a "Force Widescreen FOV" option is available under the display options. This allows for native Hor+ gameplay.

Mass Effect 2 - Getting TripleHead/Eyefinity Patch

PC Games Hardware picked up on our story about Mass Effect 2 having broken Eyefinity support. They were able to get in touch with people at EA and AMD to get more information. Both parties were aware of the issue (our AMD rep was involved in the discussion here), and BioWare is working on a patch. No ETA on the patch yet, but it is forthcoming.

Widescreen Patch for Age of Empires 2: Conquerers

New forum member boekabart has published a widescreen patch for Age of Empires 2: Conquerers. We have been able to confirm good widescreen support with a non-stretched HUD. boekabart has confirmed dual-screen support through a horizontal span in WinXP. While we haven't yet been able to test the patch in Surround or Eyefinity, the dual-screen success gives us hope.

A number of forum members offered to make donations to boekabart for his hard work, and we are happy to help facilitate that. We will be working to add this patch to our downloads page in the coming days.

Widescreen and Surround/Eyefinity Solutions

A number of games have been posted in the Confirmed Solutions forum over the past week or so. Highlights include: Red Faction (Pure Faction Patch), UberSoldier 2 (aka Crimes of War), and Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000. AVP was recently released on Steam, and the developers released a widescreen patch within 3 days. No word yet on Surround/Eyefinity support for AVP.
