I'm confused by your use of the single monitor aspect ratio with the triple monitor view angle.


This is the default head position at 6048x1080 and 145 degrees horizontal view.




DirectX defaults to 4:3 aspect ratio.  You have to give DirectX the numbers which will correctly translate from 4:3 to get where you need to be.

145 is far too narrow for that aspect ratio (6048/1080).  151 is too.  Not sure what your point is.  We know 145 is too narrow for anything outside of 16:10.

are 4 X 3 monitors even available anymore?  I use 3 older Samsung 19 inch LCD 4x3 ratio.  I was able to find 2 of the same model on ebay for less than 100 each 2 years ago.  My set up brings resolution to 3840 X 1024, older screen res but with the 3 it really immerses you into aces high.  The video card I use is a mediocre hd Radeon 5850 I with eyefinity.  I was trying to go triple monitor on a budget and got it done with a stand for around 500 bucks. I would suggest getting identical monitors if at all possible it makes the color matching a lot easier and has a much cleaner look.
