Now live in Scotland !
I bought 3 x dell 144hz G-Sync monitors .they all worked very well in surround 7680x1440p ..but had a lot of flickering on the center screen with all pixelatated boxes but worked all the same .

2 days later I switched the pc on to find that only the left monitor came on . It then took me best part of 3 hours trying to find out why and why the surround stopped working .trying many different things to deleting the graphics drivers and using just 1 Monitor. The main problem was when I actually could get the surround to work once I pressed apply on bezel correction the screen would go blank and stay blank but not go off into standby .

It was a nightmare trying to get even one of them to come back on never mind all 3 .

I have followed directions from the net .

I have 2 x 980ti in sli ..tried many different cables I've now managed to get 1 screen working .

2 of the monitors are going back to OC to be exchanged due to dead pixels and dirt in screen ..and I'm now thinking of forgetting the whole thing as its just a pain in the rear end ..I got so frustrated. .5 hours wasted on getting then to work ..After they worked from the beginning .

I don't what them to be exchanged and then not working again in surround . It was such a pain going from blank screens I just enabled the F8 from command prompt as windows 10 had it disabled so I enabled it and thus then could reset the screens to one screen only ..

If anybody has had this trouble then please give us some light as i do like the 3 screens in surround .
 
I've only enabled surround with one g-sync and two non g-sync panels. Never had a problem but I'm interested in you comments as I'm thinking of buying two of the Dells.

Hope someone else can shed some light and I will keep an eye one this thread.
 
At this rate man you're gonna get banned from every decent hardware etailer for sending too much expensive **** back!!!

I'd personally settle on one, at least you know it'd work correctly...

i just couldnt work out what was wrong . now the 2 monitors are in there boxes ready for money pick up but now im afraid i might get customer returns with the replacements, now there are more problems coming out of the wood work.

i dont think it matter if they are gsync or not . i think my problem lies with the sli ..on Nvidia control panel my top card is the number 2 card and bottom card is the number 1 card .

cant even take cards out as they are watercooled . dont think its the cards i think its windows and the shoddy drivers .

yea the one works fine and boots fine now , but wow surround is nice when it works . its not my fault i get faulty monitors .. im just unlucky . if the next 1 or 2 are like it they can go back and will just settle for 1 until 32in 4k gsync is out .

To be fair, there's a 32in 4k Acer on its way...

Could be waiting a while for that as even the US don't have it yet .and nothing on YouTube and not a lot on the net about the screen ..I thought about waiting for it ..

I could always add the screen as a 4th screen for productivity ..I like the 3 screens for gaming but getting it to work is another story .and getting another 2 screens without faults is also another story but nobody else comes close for price that here at the moment .
