TripleHead2Go, One Video Output, Three Monitors

Let's say that you are not visually satisfied with a regular 19 inch monitor and because of that, you purchase three units. You place them next to each other and you are amazed with the result; after all, not many people get to have 45 inch (1 meter and 14 centimeters) displays.

Now that you have them, all you have to do is to connect them and enjoy the sight. There's only one problem, how to hook up three monitors to one video output?

As with other difficult problems, this one also has a solution, which comes from a famous producer of video cards, Matrox.

The device is called TripleHead2Go and as the name suggests, it allows three monitors of up to 19 inches to be connected. The maximum resolution offered by the device is 3840x1024, and the total diagonal of 1 meter and 14 centimeters is just? in fact, you can think about the possibilities yourselves.

But let's see what Dan Wood, VP Technical Marketing at Matrox, has to say about the company's latest product.

"Running 3D and animation applications fully accelerated across three screens provides a tremendous productivity benefit for many workstation users. For gamers, three screens enable an immersive experience by engaging players' peripheral vision and allowing them to see the gaming environment as if they were looking through an extra wide-angle camera lens; it just makes games more fun."

And since we are talking about games, let's say that TripleHead2Go supports over 150 titles, including Quake 4, Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood, Age of Empires III, GTR, and Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight. For the complete list, access this page http://www.matrox.com/graphics/triplehead2go.

The available resolutions are: 3840x1024, 3072x768, 2400x600 and 1920x480, and the frame rate depends only on the video card's GPU.

Since you had enough financial resources to purchase three monitors, the $299 price tag associated with the device available starting April 2006 is insignificant.
