This until makes it possible for me to connect up to 3 monitors to my MacBook Pro. Acquiring spoiled at perform with a dual-head setup, I've longed for one on my Mac. The difficulty as been I only personal laptops. This unit has come to the rescue. The biggest issue I've located is that it will only do two monitors at 1920x1200 at 57Hz vertical refresh price - which the vast majority of monitors DO NOT support. I originally bought two LD W2352T monitors, but have resold them and replaced with two 20" Samsungs, which I can run at their native 1680x1050 for clear text and pictures. If you are going to attempt to run this unit at 2x1920x1200, verify the *user manual* for your monitors. See what the vertical refresh is for the 1920x1200 resolution. If it doesn't mention 57Hz, you're probably out of luck.

I will leave this blank. Vista64 + TH2go = PhailSpent over 36 hours tweaking utilizing drivers from 170 - 190 never ever could get 5040x1050 to perform. Nvidia Driver Structure from 170 - 190 is also flawed due to the custom resolution settings. They function but they say fail when they are functioning proper infront of you. So i was enable to set a correct Resolution it could handle 4320x900 but absolutely nothing higher. I would say when they develope TH2go to deal with Nvidia Drivers and 3x1980x1080 which would be HD on all 3 monitors possibly then its worth the money appropriate now its not.

This box stitches with each other three monitors up to 1680x1050, or 2x1920x1080. If your working with an nvidia card, acquiring Xinerama (e.g. so you can maximize windows inside 1 screen alternatively of it becoming stretched out across all three) to operate is a snap. Just add "XineramaInfoOverride" tags to your xorg.conf file and it works like a charm. You have to initialize the hardware on windows to get it to do 3x1680x1050 adequately under linux.Needs a USB port to operate.All monitors need to have to run at the very same resolution. I personal two of these and have never ever noticed it fail even placed behind the hot exhaust vent on the host machine for 6+ months.

It will permit you to play games at large resolutions across three monitors and performs fairly nicely for this depending on your graphics card. For the cost there isn't substantially worth any longer. With the latest generation of video cards you can do the exact same items, and at a lot larger resolutions. Add to this that a lot more and a lot more video card producers are offering lifetime warranties and this item no longer really has a location. Mine has failed, as well as a few others I've study online about and Matrox desires almost as considerably as a new a single to repair it. I can't recommend purchasing a product for this kind of dollars that the manufacturer won't stand behind esp. when there are much better selections obtainable now. Save the cash and get your self a 58xx or GTX4xx card instead. You'll get a greater warranty and greater efficiency.

Duh... 3 monitors! Even if you In no way played a game making use of a tripple wide screen set up the productivity worth of getting three distinct screens opened at after makes you giggle like a five year old. But, I did purchase this specifically for gaming and I have had a blast with it. The list of native assistance for wide screen gaming is huge and there are about 210 supported games. It was uncomplicated to set up, pretty much plug and play, but studying how to set up your screen resolutions requires some hit and miss trial and error with and finish result that seriously tends to make it all worth it.Tech help (free) was there for me (after the second try). The first guy was a bit quick with me and not so friendly, but immediately after my set up difficulties ticked me off I named once again and got a lot much better service. The tech utilized a remote service and was in a position to alter all my settings for me to get me started. Conflicts happen in each and every bit of hardware and this 1 is no distinct. The tech support said it was my 8800GTS 512/drivers having issues with the T2G. When I would activate some games my monitors would flash on and off with a rapid image on the screen but leave me only with all black screens. I know that every piece of hardware is not friendly with other individuals, but I thought that my video card was around extended enough that driver problems would be resolved by now. NOT. Appear, if your waiting for 1 of those EyeFinity cards that supports tripple monitors for gaming then maybe that is a remedy for you, but study up ahead of you obtain. They are obtaining concerns with game help too so dont acquire ahead of you investigate. If you are like me, getting my midlife crisis toy acquiring craze or a part time gamer and pc junky and want to get the latest and greatest cool issue... THIS is the time to acquire! Even though Im a bit bummed out that assistance for games and driver/hardware conflicts are there in some tiny circumstances, this is nevertheless a no brainer. If your a flight sim guy and have NOT moved on to the tripple monitors... you ought to be living in a cave and its time to evolve and pull the trigger and get began with this item (and a couple a lot more monitors).And of course... ALL HAIL NEWEGG FOR THEIR SPEEDY SHIPPING AND Wonderful SERVICE... WHY Get Anyplace ELSE!

Matrox's buyer service is outstanding. They may well have horrible hours of operation for buyer assistance, but they are prompt in responding to messages left (both voice and e-mail). Dell 30" monitors 񢘿 model) have a quite restricted resolution range for 3 monitors 񢦀 X 800) due to their not having a scaler built in and the bandwidth limitation of the TripleHead. Matrox was much more than Johnny on the spot helping me get my TripleHead up and operating. It took 2 firmware updates, but at least it is operating. Now - they need to have to release a TripleHead that can push far more by way of it, so these with 30" monitors w/o scalers can advantage totally.

Develop a sickeningly ludicrously disgustingly Amazing gaming platform, purchase the TH2GO DIGITAL EDITION.If you get this and take full advantage of it's capabilities and have trouble obtaining 5040x1050 wallpaper for your 66 inch wide monster windows desktop just take in-game screen shots even though playing your favored game. Discover exactly where the game saves the shots, proper click, set as back ground, and boohya... one particular giant custom panoramic uber geek windows wall paper background spread across three monitors. Ɏ)Great Instances Had to update firmware to go to 5040x1050 resolution for three 1680x1050 LCD widescreens monitors. Effortless.Required to go from DVI-D to HDMI in between the TH2GO and LCD's. I was afraid the 3 low-cost บ.00 9ft specific cables I bough from New Egg could trigger challenges. Matrox tech told me it wasn't going to work with low-cost cabels and has not been tested with monitors with HDMI only inputs. Operates definitely fine and I don't strategy to transform the cables.This TH2GO is USB powered. If your like me and have a bunch of USB cords plugged in the back of you laptop along with a USB expansion card the TH2GO could not get adequate juice. Matrox sells a อ.00 15 watt USB amp. My dilemma was solved just by plugging the Th2GO into the front of my pc. You have to use the integrated heavy duty DVI-D patch cable among the TH2GO and your video card connection. It's only 2 foot extended.Could not get digtal KVM DVI-D switch to work involving video card out and TH2GO. U have to use 2ft Matrox cable. Bought three Black Friday Very best Buy HP Quad Core Computers that every came with a 21.6" LCD 1680x1050 Widescreen monitor with HDMI input. Changed energy supplies and stuck in video cards I had laying about and then sold them all... but I selfishly kept the LCD monitors for me. ;o)Hooked up the TH2GO with two BFG 280GTX's in SLI along with a QX9770 Processor and found this mixture in a position to play nearly all the most recent games maxed at a staggering 5040x1050 resolution. TH2GO tricked my computer into thinking it was connected to an uber giant 65 inch widescreen LCD. Only game that lags with almost everything maxed is Crysis. My BFG trade-up to 285GTX's will be free of charge & I could get a 3rd for Tri-Sli just to giggle over Crysis maxed out at a sick 5040x1050 resolution. Not going to even try to convey what 3 widescreens for surround gaming is like mainly because I would under no circumstances discover the words, but I'll say this: I will Never EVER in my whole life EVER go back to gaming on a TEENSY WEENSY 30 inch monitor.

When you get every little thing setup immediately after some hastle, you'll discover the 5040x1050 resolution is awesome for a desktop. Not to mention it is rather nice on the games it does help. Initially of all the out-going DVI cord is literally a laugh, I think it may well be 2 feet long. So make confident you program to spot your device either on top or next to your laptop. I had a quite challenging time with my setup getting my DVI cords from my 3 monitors to the TH2 device, then receiving that cord to the back of my complete size tower. I wish the cord was longer, even 3 feet would be a hell of a lot much better.Second off the one particular major downfall of the device is it's customer service. Half the time when I call with a difficulty, they either don't know what im talking about and can't look to enable, or they just bounce me around the e-mail scheme. I have been quite disappointed in the tech help they give. Walking you through a difficulty with their device does not look to be their robust suit.Lastly the issue I have run into is that games NOT supported by huge resolutions look to go quite badly with TH2. Downsizing your resolution causes your monitors to go wacky. I would say that general my reaction to the produce is moderate. If they could provide a lot more support and or superior technical assistance for their product, I would be a lot happier with it. I felt it was a lot of dollars on best of obtaining to purchase the monitors and the stand; for the service you recieve. Would I propose this item to a friend? Possibly. It's not a undesirable 1, if you are tech sabby. On the other hand it requires A LOT of tweaking about with and you're going to be mainly on your personal. I can't count the ammount of occasions I've had to disconnect it and hook a standard DVI up due to the fact I tried adjusting resolution and my monitors just blacked out. Suitable now im trying to get back into some other games ie; FFXI, Warcraft III, and so on. But they don't assistance this resolution and TH2 doesn't appear to support them. I can't even get my monitors to go back to one particular screen @ 1920x1080 to play an older game. Nearly every little thing has to be in windowed mode.

Expense, you may say... huh? but hear me out appear at web-sites with integrated 3 and two lcd displays and then compare them against the ones you could select your self and add this item, the expense is Substantially lower and the individual displays tend to have greater specs. Also the Pure immersion in games is unmatched vs say a wide screen monitor alone or even a 30" lcd. With the most recent firmware this item now supports widescreen displays up to 1680 X 1050, that's more than 5 Megapixels folks, a 30" apple monitor has only four.5~ Mp's. the bezel management is wicked, makes the games seem like is on one giant monitor rather than 3, certain there is the bezel in the way nevertheless but the image doesnt look to repeat close to the edges. the Pure horse energy needed to push five Mp worth of data. if you used the decrease setting monitors like 1280 X 768 you could use a single strong display adaptor like a 8800 GTX or ultra, but for the 1680 X 1050 you want a number of cards sharing the load, especially if you strategy on utilizing AA or AF. I am utilizing two 9800 GX2's (quad GPU) and can pull off great benefits. If you play games to escape reality there aren't numerous other approaches to match the level of reality removal this factor offers... in particular if you got the dollars to spring for say 3 SCEPTRE X22WG-1080P's that would be 60 inches of monitor men and women!!!

Clarity. I was a bit worried that there would be some distortion introduced by fundamentally splitting 1 DVI connection into three, but was pleasantly suprised following hookup. There is no distortion that I can see.Immersion in games. I've played HL2 EP1 and two on three screens and couldn't think of performing it any other way.Bezel Mgmt. function. (I believe this is Digital version only) The software that comes with unit is kinda sub par. Even though it works, there isn't really any "cool aspect". It would be nice to have choices to optimize games that aren't on the preset list with out manually editing a config file.With that getting stated, the software operates just fine, it would be nice to have a couple of additional selections. I award this products with the "Cold Dead Hands Award".Which is the only way you could pry it from me.

Small package, USB power, really like the wide desktop. Bummer.... the installation wizard, when "applying mode" step is executed, returns a "windows error" message. This takes place immediately after the wizard restarts the pc. Nothing at all on the Matrox net website addresses the issue. Then end result is that I don't get the 1680 X 1050 (x3) resolution. Even so, the rest of the lower resolutions operate. Other customers on the net are reporting the very same error. I won't return the unit, but I won't use it either. It'll go in the closet till I'll be googling around 1 day and someone has found a resolution.I7 920, x58 Intel smackover MB, six gig G-Talent, EVGA GTX275, Vista 64 bit

It works nicely if you intend to be operating with multiple documents and webpages. Worked with 3 22" Samsung SyncMaster 2243BWX's. Almost certainly would have far better final results with 4ɇ aspect ratio screens Depends drastically on your intended resolutions. At 5040x1050, games are challenging to use with this. As gaming was my main purpose for acquiring, I was disappointed in its overall performance. As a flight sim'r, it turned into much more of a hassle then I believed it was worth. IL-two causes it to be zoomed in way to close, FSX triggered the cockpit panal to be stretched across the three screens. Possibly should have spent much more time to get it to operate... There may well have been work-arounds for some of the difficulties I knowledgeable. Also forces your laptop or computer to see all monitors as 1, which can trigger some troubles based on your applications. TH2G (digital) forces 1680x1050 screens to refresh at 57hz. I took a gamble with it as most screens don't explicitly say what prices they can perform. All I can say is that this product is a bit of a gamble, particularly with the overall expenses. I'll in all probability have much better outcomes with SLI or Crossfire with independant manage of every monitor.

Uncomplicated to set up. Resolution is high, no image degradation, except as noted beneath. Can only use the included 1foot DVI cable from computer system to the Matrox... like I want far more clutter on my desk. The software only performs on Windows if you have a Mac don't even bother with the CD (per Matrox support) the driver on there tends to make the monitors look worse than just plugging them in. To run separate desktops is, once again, a Pc only function (per Matrox help) they did not make computer software for the Mac to let numerous desktops. During my get in touch with to Tech assistance at Matrox I asked to find out why my programs were showing up stretched, I do on the internet ad QA testing and graphic design and this doesn't perform for me. I was told 'You need to have to go on the internet and discover a desktop background that matches your resolution'. Thanks, but don't care if my desktop background is stretched, my program view is the difficulty. This sounds like a excellent tool, I run a Mac with VM Ware Fusion simply because I want to test ad units and sites in all web browsers, I would have loved the added actual estate so I could evaluate ads, but will have to locate a distinct remedy. Bet this rocks for gaming tho :)

With the new drivers it's capable of displaying 5040x1050 @ -57- Hz. It brings a entire new level to gaming, GTA4, Crysis, CS:S... pretty considerably any game is a entirely new expertise. Watch out for the 57Hz requirement, some LCDs do not technically help it, some most likely don't at all, I'm stuck proper now attempting to figure out how to edit a config file for windows to get these running at max res. Even although it's not presently running at complete res, I'm not also concerned correct now, I'm confident with a bit more analysis I'll be capable to fix it, operating at 3x1440x900 is nevertheless incredible, just make certain you have a graphics card capable of pumping out so several pixels.If you appear at benchmarks pay attention to the 2560x1600 benchmarks, those are slightly over 4MP total, in complete res mode you'll be looking at just over 5MP. You'll require a GTX295 or 4780X2 to run the much more graphically demanding games at ㅖ FPS, high settings of program.

Provides spand mode on up to three monitors. I mode that windows dropped the ball on in windows xp (however, even with xp you could only get two monitors to span). This item does not perform as Matrox advertises it to! On the packaging Matrox markets 1680x1050 x3 monitors. Nowhere on the package do they list this is only at 57hz. They have also dropped the ball on windows 7 rc so far blamming windows and the nvidia drivers for an error message when trying to setup triple widescreen modes. However, it is certainly a problem with their software program, as every thing operates fine in Vista! By dropping the ball I mean that I have contacted help many instances and the reply they give me is that it is windows or the gfx drivers that are at fault. I gave them 1 egg for false advertising.False marketing, lack of assistance = don't obtain

What can I say, it requires 3 monitors and tends to make them act as 1. I am not very fond of the software program that's utilised for managing the monitors. So I had to dock an egg. I've received errors even though attempting to shift resolutions on various occasions. I have not been in a position to get the Surround Gaming utility to work properly on Windows 7. I'm confident this is an concern with Windows 7's safety attributes, as I get write errors when the utility tries to modify game files.
