    True, but the digital version compensate the picture by cutting off the frame thickness. Ie. if a stone where placed exactly in the middle off the pic you will see half the stone on one monitor and the other half on the second. That will make the stone much thicker than it actually is. With the digital version a part of the stone will be hidden behind the frames.

    And what about stripping the monitors from the case? I have done it with my 17" monitors. I guess it's a different story with a big monitor like that. Is it a tv aswel?

    Thats the way it works now. It is one screen "stretched" across the 2 monitors not 2 independent monitors, they act as one. And that explains why I lose the runway on approach, it hides behind the frame. So I just keep the runway slightly off center so I can see it.

    Right...so you wouldn't see what was behind it if it truly was an aircaft window, right? SO I THOUGHT the "monitor bezel" mode of that new unit did just that. Takes a slice out of the view and "loses" it. Doesn't it?

    best,

    Since in the aircraft you are flying, you are sitting in the left hand seat....not on the centerline, wouldn't that be closer to the actual view?

    They're very different from model to model. Be very cautious, that's all.

    Yes they are TVs and are capable of 1024x768 native. I am hooked to there VGA inputs but I am going to switch to the DVI inputs they have as my card does those as well. This will switch me over to digital on them. We will see if that makes a difference on them. I have thought about trying to remove the edges of the frames where they come together but my brother who know more about this stuff recommends not doing that. So.... I am stuck with the frame in the middle of the pic. I have a projector that I will play with but it will have to be pretty good for me to switch.
