    Ah you just answered my question I asked in your previous post. The answer to this question is Yes, as long as your LCD/Plasma has a VGA or HDMI input. You can get a HDMI to DVI adaptor cable to plug straight in. Get 3 LCD's if you can otherwise you'll have a big black border in the middle of your view. Big expense though and many others put up with it arguing that it simulates the centre post on your windscreen.

    Other options are a centre projector and later on (when funds allow) two screens for side views.

    I use 2 42" Plasma screens and it works well but.. THere is an issue with the center of the screen. On approach it is hard to see the runway once you are lined up. Just a heads up.

    Don't know if they are available in Australia, but using rear projection televisions in stead of LCD's is a good option + they are bigger and not so expensive.
    The DLP versions are ideal for simming.
    Unfortunately in Europe they don't make them anymore and shipping from the US is not an option.

    Be careful! Plasma Screens do not work with Vista OS!

    Do NOT use plasma displays! LCD is cheaper and gives just as good image! The disadvantage for Plasma displays is the risk of "burning in" the image.

    Lucky me - I work at a store that sells home electronics. I've been fiddling around with the idea of 3 32" LCD screens. But - I guess I'll end up with 3 LCD monitors of some sort. I have a big space issue. Not a big problem, really - the best parts are INSIDE the sim.

    I just bought a 32" HD LCD TV. It's looking might nice for the sim, but I can't afford two more of these.

    Yeah good point im sure there is a reason , not owning triplehaed2go i wouldnt know .. from what i gather , TH2G streches the image across the 2 monitors making it 1 big image , like a sort of video card in itself, Would like to know if i can doit without TH2G.. My Powercolor 3870 x2 Has 3 DVI outputs onit????
