This seems like a good product at first but there's one or two things to remember.3 x 1280 x 1024 is a big display as seen by Windows and so if you intend to render any sort of game to it, you're going to need some powerful graphics hardware to start with to get any use out of it.If you don't have the graphics power from the start or when the next game comes along that your system stuggles with, you're looking at reducing the resolution to keep up.Unless you're using the device with CRT's then you may suffer display quality at lower resolutions since with TFTs you wont be running them at their native 1280x1024 resolution anymore.As said, good for CRTs but think twice if you're looking at a 3 x TFT setup.

Agreed. I am hoping that my X800XT can cope with the 3840 resolution. It runs well at 2560 using both outputs. Monitors I have already - see below. Will report back in due course.

Sounds like tripling the work load of the computer to me. yes it looks great indeed. But as I'm still fighting ocational stutters on a single screen setup, I wonder if this will be a $700 purchase of more headache and frustrations.Jason

Hi Howard,The x800 ATI card caps it's D3D so the TH2Go is limited to 640x480 per monitor, I had to go to a nVidia 7600GT to get usable resolution and I have to say with just pulling a few of my sliders back one click and using the lower res clouds in FE it is quite incredible.

I just called Matrox and was told by sales that the TripleHead2Go has been delayed until the start of May. No pricing details were availale other than the price in US Dollars ($299).I have three ViewSonic 19" LCDs and Dual GT7800 SLI Graphics Cards so running the TripleHead2Go should be a breeze (I hope!).

oh yes!please do a mini review for us and print some screenies when you get this thing!

Thx. I'll wait till a dx10 card is out unless new drivers are released that allow the x800 to run at the max resolution. I get the impression that it is driver limited.
