Matrox Triplehead2Go

This kind of thing really floats my boat, I'd love it, however.

The turn off on this for me is the same turn off with the 30" widescreen LCDs. You're gonna have to upgrade your GFX card much more often to be able to run the latest games at the native resolutions (pretty high for both). Atleast, that's my thoughts.

 

yes but think about this.
Using the triple head means you only have one card to drive 3 monitors so only 1 card needed to upgrade.

 

The article suggests using an SLI setup, so two cards to upgrade.

 

considering the resolution you have to drive

SLI is probably required to run at like medium settings

 

hi guys,noob here

which make of Gcard you use imho doesn't matter as long as it supports 3840X1024 for the TH2G and is beefy enough ,the TH2G is seen as a monitor as far as your PC is concerned

i bought the best i could in LCD just for the TH2G
(best affordable that is at £250 each)
viewsonic 19 inch VX922 with 2mS rate
funny enough my PC desk which i made myself(8 ft wide by 4 ft deep ) now looks positively barren since my 21 inch CRT was removed

can't wait for the TH2G to be released

 

Anyone else got one on pre-order? it says on the website that it was being dispatched on the 22nd of may, but i havent heard anything from them.

 

i rang them
they said that is an error,they are expecting delivery to CORK IRELAND this week and don't expect to ship them to retailers till next week sometime, so if you pre ordered then it could be 2nd week of june by the time you get it if retailers pre ordered their lot before you guys(and depends on numbers too)

take it with a pinch of salt,for all we know the pre ordered peeps might get them sooner


oh and reason for the delay?
one was a new feature,to allow it to work as a DUALHEAD(2 screens only)
which i won't be using

 

Well if they are adding new features, i wont be too upset

I pre-ordered directly from their shop, so hopefully i should get it fairly early.

I'd be interested in seeing your setup once you have the device, and comparing notes

 

logitech G15 and the 3 displays minus the TH2G

 

the "gapless" LCDs are coming online,sony has one but it's still expensive so i reckon within 1 year we will see them at normal prices

there is a big difference between widescreen and multimonitor
widescreen is just that,wide screen,but multi monitor,when supported,doesn't stretch the current image but actually gives you about a 45 degree field of view

and i've been told angling the 2 outer monitors makes a HUGE difference
and TH2G has support from 150 or more current games

lets see,hope it's all it's cracked up to be

 

You won't be disappointed

 

that looks pretty sweet
but isnt the TH2G like a month off still ...

id be so pissed have 2 screens not in use

 

naah,i do drawings of various scenes in the game i am playing and stick them on the screen flinstone fashion
seriously,yes sometimes it's a pain but motorbike season is upon us in the UK,ok so someone forgot to tell the weather ,so i am racing this weekend and busy over the next month,time will go by quickly

 

Haha dognosh, great solution in the meantime

 

Got mine today, although i havent really had time to play with it properly

The few games ive tried work nicely in widescreen, but the HUD really messes up.

Small problems i noticed is that the box runs really hot (to the point i cant keep my hand on it), and that there is ghosting on all the monitors (although that could just be my bad cables).

I still need to finish building my monitor arm, but i will post alot more of my experiences when i update my project log.

 

just checked with DABS and now they have it listed *dancing banana*
(but not in stock yet)
which ties in with MATROX telling me shipment arrives at their cork warehouse by today,so DABS should have it within a few days
oh and they were £13 cheaper than shopmatrox,bonus

has become annoying to see 2 of my LCD's sat there in the dark

 

arrived today
so easy to setup
and worked straight away in EVE ONLINE
impressive FOV
and done properly,so no distorsion of any part of the game,because game is not stretched,but FOV has been increased
no ghosting either

desktop mode it is not so friendly,as there are issues with some banding on left and right monitor and certain fonts don't come out too well

but i bought it for gaming

 

Got mine today... but can't install till tomorrow

Can't wait
