3007 WFP or WFP-HC

[mark_a_scott]

I got a Dell 3007WFP and although I am happy with it, I notice that the HC is out. Are there any major benefits (ie working HDCP?)

Also, does any PCI-Express card support dual 30inch panels? (5120x1600......yum)

Interresting! I am guessing that this setup may not be hot in gaming (unless it is powered by 8800Ultra SLI or HD2900XT Xfire)

I have caught the dual screen bug at work with development PCs and CAD workstations flying out of the IT department like noones business.

Are there many games that can scale to this res or am I limited to running an obscenely large desktop

I think the major benefit is the increased colour gamut (more colours basically) but if you've got a monitor you're happy with it's not something that is essential. If you want to game with a 30" (let alone two of the blighters) you're going to need a seriously powerful system, especially if you want lots of eye candy turned on.

I'd be surprised if any game natively accepted 5120x1600 as some games need to be hacked to run at 2560 but it might be worth check out wide screen gaming forums as there's bound to be people in the know. If you do get 2 x 30" post a pic, would love to see that. My 30" occupies pretty much all my desk, I can't imagine what I'd do with another one
