November 20, 200619 yr Author You may be right Bryn, I am not really sure of the no. of degs. What I do know is that it does provide additional views of the world that one cannot see from a single monitor. In comparing screenshots with the Triplehead set-up, it looks to me that 2x24" mons will provide as much of a field of view as 3 smaller MATROX connected mons.JS Jonathan Sacks Dell XPS Gen 4, Pentium IV Northwood extreme 3.8Ghz, 3Ghz RAM, eVGA 7900 GTO, 12 GoFlight modules plus MCP-PRO AP and EFIS, GF pedestal, CH rudder pedals, CH throttle quadrant, 42" LG LED, 24" DELL LCD, Windows XP, FS2004, FSUIPC 3.96 FS Autostart 1.1 (Build 11), FS Navigator 4.6, UT, FE, GE, REX, PMDG, Level-D, PSS, etc.
November 20, 200619 yr Author I FINALLY managed to insert a custom frame rate of 1680x1050 for the new GTO card. Now I am one more step closer to even better performance and the right scaling on the 24" monitor. The shape of everything looks exactly right and is not elongated as in 1600x1200 or 2560x1024 on the 24" widescreen. I had hoped to insert a 1440x900 scaling as well, but it says I cannot do that size. I don't know what the constraints are or why nvidia gives me such a message. If anybody knows, please post !JS Jonathan Sacks Dell XPS Gen 4, Pentium IV Northwood extreme 3.8Ghz, 3Ghz RAM, eVGA 7900 GTO, 12 GoFlight modules plus MCP-PRO AP and EFIS, GF pedestal, CH rudder pedals, CH throttle quadrant, 42" LG LED, 24" DELL LCD, Windows XP, FS2004, FSUIPC 3.96 FS Autostart 1.1 (Build 11), FS Navigator 4.6, UT, FE, GE, REX, PMDG, Level-D, PSS, etc.

I have asked lucky TH2GO owners to measure their max field of view, but nobody did so. I think one advantage of the TH2GO is that you have a clear view forward, without a monitor bezel down the middle as you may with only 2 monitors.--Bryn
November 20, 200619 yr Author Yes, no question the forward view with TH2G is superior and the perspective is flawless. But cost also matters. If I want it,I basically need to start from scratch and buy 3x19" LCDs and also get Triplehead which in total is a lot of $.
