and this pic gave me an idea.....

can eq/p99 be stretched over 2 screens?

to give a panoramic view.

This is a thing that linux introduced, but i assume that some clever folk got windows to do the same trick?

anyone done this?

AM talkingabout the same view ...stretched over 2 screens, not differnt accounts on each screen. in reality would this just give you neck rsi?
Might work better with 2x non widescreen monitors side by side...

2x 17" lcd monitors are about 35 quid on ebay. cheap way to make a giant view.

or just damn complicated to setup?

Would your character be split between the two screens? I'm not sure I like the idea of it... okay if you're always on the first person camera perhaps [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

my monitors arent the same size or height so it looks odd but its definitely doable.

It is do-able with windows as far as I know. google image some and you will be amazed. As swish said though your toon will be split in the middle even in 1st person view that sounds terribly annoying. How to fix that? use 3 monitors XD

The resolutions become insanely large numbers the wider you go but if is possible to do. One thing though. Make sure EQ suppoorts any resolution. not sure if you'd hit a bump with that because eq did start up in the 90's lolol
