Hello,

I hope this question is clear. I am trying to figure out if it is possible for me to run 3 monitors on my pc, and also use the 3 monitors on my Macbook Pro?? (Obviously switching between them)

Also, I am not sure how this stuff works, but is it possible to use only 1 of the monitors at a given time? For instance I play a lot of FPS games and would only want to use the single screen in the middle for that purpose.

I hope this makes sense!

Brad

PS... I am running a QX9770 @ 4.0. 8 Gigs ram @1800. Dual GTX280's.
All watercooled.

Mac OS X V10.4 is compatible as per back of the box. Dose the laptop have a DVI output? And yes you can set the center screen for your FPS games.

Yes you can use the 3 monitors using your pc and your laptop. But you will have to be changing the connections physically each time.

If you want to use only 1 monitor when gaming, change the resolution of your game to that of a single monitor and the 2 other monitors will just be black.

Why would you have to change the connection each time when there are two inputs on the DTH2G?
I have two desktops and would like to use both with the DTH2G, my monitors have a source button to switch between input devices. My DTH2G and two new monitors are being shipped to me right now. I think it should work ok to use the analog input on the DTH2G for my 2nd desktop.
I was just curious if switching between two desktops would run ok or would it not work, also one computer is XP and the other is Vista.

I haven't tried this... but why not use a KVM w/ Video to switch back and forth?
