Matrox Digital Version Triplehead 2Go [Posted on 2008-05-31]
I am running this on a 3 LCD setup. The center screen is a 24in Dell Widescreen and the two side screens are Samsung 22in widescreens.
Setup: This was easy. Just connect up all the cables as per the diagram in the manual. You will need to find an extra USB input point as this version does away with the AC power adapter.
After installing the software and switching on you might find everything squeezed onto you LH monitor. Dont panic. Just go to the setup options in the Matrox Powerdesk and ensure you have selected the largest resolution in the Edit Mode List screen. Use the transfer arrows to move the desired option into the RH box.
In Use: So far I have used the Triplehead with FSX and GTR 2. In both sims the difference is amazing. I am running 2 SLI'ed GTS8800 Nvidia cards although FSX only uses one the screen resolution across all three monitors is very good. Not perfect. There is room for improvement in resolution but over all I can not see myself wanted to go back to just the 24in Dell and 1920x1080. The Triplehead runs at 3840x1024 but that is over a lot of screen real estate. The big difference is in the large amount of peripheral vision and in the ability to plonk those windows showing radio stacks, GPS and throttle consoles anywhere. I do a lot less opening and closing windows. As for the car racing - it is mind blowing as you really feel you are in the car.Matrox T2G-D3D-IF Triplehead2Go Dual-Link Digital Input Digital Edition
Makes everything really come to life [Posted on 2008-07-06]
I originally bought the analog version of TripleHead2Go and was very happy with it but when the digital version came out I upgraded. I am currently using a 27 inch Samsung monitor in the center with 21 inch Samsung monitors on the right and left sides. When the pictures I posted were taken I was using three 21 inch Samsungs monitors and that worked really well as you can see but I wanted an even more immersive experience so I changed out the center monitor for a 27 inch. The pictures are from Lord of the Rings Online, Unreal Tournament III and one just using the triple monitors for normal day activities. I used to use the system to play World of Warcraft and it worked just fine. My home office is long and narrow so I wasn't able to back up enough to take a good photo to show all three monitors head on or how awesome the full effect is but you can get the idea from the pictures. For more detailed information on the TripleHead2Go please see my review on the analog version of TripleHead2Go, my opinions have not changed only gotten better. The bottom line is that this little piece of hardware really makes a major difference in playing games and every day computing :)
