December 17, 201114 yr I have the TH2GO Digital Edition running at 5760x1080 on 3 x ACO e2243Fw 21,5" screens with the latest firmware, Powerdesk utility and video driver.My problem is that the graphics in each monitor do not fill out the frame. And this gives me 3 seperature pictures when I use my FSX.If I use another resolution 3840 x 1024 the monitors are filled out with graphics. But the picture seem to be stretched too much in the horizontal direction. When I use only one of my monitors I get a fine filled out picture in 1920x1080. So my monitors are capable to do 1920x1080 each. Can Matrox TH2GO (Digital) handle this? Why does TH2GO only fill out the right 4/5 of my monitor and leave the left 1/5 black?/Lars NIVIDA GeForce GTX 550Ti/Windows 7 Home Edition (64)
December 18, 201114 yr The TH2Go Digital Edition has a maximum horizontal size of 5040 Px. For 5760 Px you need the TH2Go DP (Display Port) Edition. See.Cheers,- jahman.
December 18, 201114 yr Hi,Actually Jahman, if you go to the link and click on 'see complete list of all compatible resolutions' you will see that the digital version does support the 5760 x 1080. I have been using this for a while now. However I will go back to 5040 simply because I cannot see any difference in quality. But it does work in 5760.Lars, make sure you are not fooled by Matrox saying you must use 50hz, or 57hz, not true, Monitors do not like this. Use 60(input59)hz setting.Also check in device manager, under monitors, make sure the monitor driver did in fact install. It must read 'matroxtriplehead2go digital edition' and not generic plug and play.Ron.
December 18, 201114 yr Author Ron, I do in fact use Refresh Rate 60 (Input Refresh Rate 59) Hz. And I have checked the device manager, under monitors, and the driver is for sure 'matroxtriplehead2go digital edition.To resume I have tried 3 settings:3840 x 1024If I use this resolution the monitors are filled out with graphics. But the picture seem to be stretched too much in the horizontal direction.5040x1050 & 5720x1080If I use these resolutions the monitors there is only a picture in the right 4/5 of the screen whereas the left 1/5 is black. So in fact Matrox can handle these resolutions but I to somehow get the graphics on each screen stretched so I can get rid of the black rectangular areas on the left 1/5 of each screen./Lars
December 18, 201114 yr Author It looks like the combination of 3 AOC e2243Fw 21,5" LED monitors and TH2GO Digital Edition does not work properly together. The only resolution that can result in 3 pictures connected - edge by edge - is 3840x1050, but it looks stretched and too wide - if you understand.Propably the best looking resolution is 5040x1050, but this does nor work on my combination.So my question is:1: can you give me a link to a guide that solves this problem? OR2: can you advice a good combination that delivers a fine coherent picture for my FSX. What Matrox device ? What kind of monitors?/Lars
December 20, 201114 yr Author Having tried a lot of things to make my 3 AOC screens function with MAtrox TH2GO without luck I would like to know if somebody can give me the name of a 21" monitor which can show a good solution with 3 screens (5040x1050 or 5720x1080)?
December 20, 201114 yr Well, is your FirmWare up to date? I recall you did need a firmware upgrade to get the Digital Edition match the DP edition at the highest resolutions.Cheers,- jahman.
January 21, 201214 yr I am going thru this at the moment. I ordered the digital TH2Go from NewEgg + three wide screen monitors. Had problems getting the 5760 x 1024. Called Matrox and found out the box NewEgg sent me did not have the short(24") DVI cable necessary to achieve the full resolution. Apparently, the specific 24" short cable to the TH2Go is important for the 5760 setting. It's on order and will get here the 25th. Will advise. Matrox did say the digital version was capable of the 5760 resolution and that the DP version did not gain anything on this. Happy landings, Mike Eppright (KAAO)
