I use Matrox tripplehead2go. I found that using surround in nVidia I was limited to how much zoom I could use (It looked like I was sitting on dash board with my nose pressed up against the windshield!)

TH2GO isn't cheap, though I highly recommend it for 3 monitors.

Cheers.

Sounds like you did not have the wide view setting checked when trying Surround.

There is absolutely no advantage in using a Matrox here over a Surround setup. The same resolution with either setup will look exactly the same in the sim apart from the Matrox's clunky bevel correction, if you are using that.

TH2Go makes no difference to that. Regardless of whether you use TH2Go or nvidia Surround you are creating a single monitor as far as Windows (and FSX) is concerned. Either way you need to set WideViewAspect to give you enough zoom range.

Tried that and it blows.

Depends.

If you exceed 15 degrees on the outside monitors, yes.

If not, it works well; runways lines line up across all three pretty closely. I was surprised. I tried Surround and that blowed because max res was 1080; I run 2550 across all three. Fake 4k 

That said, Beau explains all this over at the LM forum in detail.

Cheers,
