    Hi Ba543,

    it depends heavily on the graphics card. I got one computer with NVIDIA card and this allows to get one big desktop covering the two screens connected to the PC. I got also another
    computer with an ATI card and I dont think that one can create a fully streched desktop covering the two screens.
    However, in my setup FS runs on that ATI card PC so I cant try it out. PM PFD/ND runs on that NVidia card.
    I have set up my FS PC to clone two screens, so FS output goes to one screen and to a beamer.

    On an nVidia card, just horzontal-span the 2 displays on the same card. I do that on the machine I'm typing on right now with 2 24" 1920x1200 Samsungs. ATI cards are outside my realm of knowledge. I just know you'd need no matrox box if you used nVidia.

    Will the 42" panels be 720p or 1080p? You're wasting pixels on a TH2G if they're 1080p. The DH2G Digital could push 2 at 1080p though. Remember that the TH2G caps at 3x1280x1024 max.

    Re: 42" Lcd X2

    Hi I know this thread is over 2 years old
    I have bought 2 42 inch plasma screens, and I can't deal with the middle section being split like it is. I am thinking about returning one of them and picking up two 32 inch screens. The remaining 42 inch Plasma would sit in the middle and the two 32 inch screens would sit on the sides, slightly tilted. I know TH2GO would most likely not work as the 32 and 42 inch TVs most likely would not have the same resolution and refresh rate... any ideas? should I just return both 42 TVs?

    Thanks
    Mehdi

    Would TH2GO run 3 x 42" plasma TVs ?

    Yes three screens at 1680 x 1050 but best look at the specs on http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/pr...?productTabs=1
    for the full list.

    That is correct under the following condition as the site states:

    "3 These widescreen modes are only available when TripleHead2Go Digital Edition is connected to the system's dual-link DVI output, and are not available under any Mac OS X operating system."

    This means that the TVs must have a DVI output ?

    If the TVs have VGA and I use the DVI to VGA adaptor it won't work ?
