Forgot to mention this before, Ibrin, but I'm jealous of your desk setup. :)

And those Asus screens look...Splendid. :wink:


Thanks. I will post a new pic with the 3xWS. I will also be doing an update to the review, with the new monitors. Hopefully Paddy will do something as well. I made the desk and printer stand myself. And, the work (day job) notebook is now up on an Ergortron arm, with a Logitech DiNovo mouse/keyboard underneath.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

3x1440x900 on my 19" widescreen LCDs will be great. Thank you Matrox for finally announcing something!

Here is a mockup of what the 3x19" WS will look like.

Current setup:


Mock-up of 3xWS


The left side is skewed a bit from creating the panoramic photo. I might be able to fit 3x20" screens, but it would be tight. I've measured for 3x22" using the Gateway HD2200 size (it has VGA, DVI, Component and HDMI; and a cool PnP). But there is no way 3x22" will work.

With only having a 19" widescreen, it's not moving my bezels out much. I would still get the benefit of native WS for single monitor games. Getting 3x20" would be nice, and I really want something with HDMI.

The Samsung T200HD looked perfect, but lucking I read a review that said it had no VESA wall mount. I've looked through the MML, but haven't seen anything that jumped out at me. Anyone got any suggestions?

Now maybe I'll have to get me 3 screens whenever I upgrade again. Not cheap ones either. And it's all Matrox's fault :evil:

Oh wait... not enough room on the desk...
Now I need to get a new desk as well. And a house to fit it in. Gah, Matrox is really going to get me spending hard here :x

When I get the funds for all the above anyway...

Awesome!

Anyone that has tried this... do all games that worked before work now with the new 5MP resolution? Correct field of view and everything?

Does anyone know what the best optimal 22" monitor for this would be?

Looking for great viewing angles + smallest bezel possible + HDMI inputs (so I can link up a different game console to each monitor).

oh man some of the best news I've seen in ages.

The question now is... what single slot card will you need to run a beast such as that.
