Wow is right. This thing is awesome. Paddy, have you heard anything from Matrox about the optimum angling of the two side monitors? I have a feeling this depends on the game and how the image is displayed at the edges of the screen (e.g. Half Life 2 puts some serious perspective into the edges of the image, so the side screens should probably be rather angled, while Far Cry seems to give a much "flatter" image and probably lends itself to less angle). Perhaps I should actually read the TripleHead2Go manual... |

Hi JKeefe, It does depend on how the game is displaying the side screens. You are pretty familiar with Pacific Fighters right? When you are in Surround mode and using cockpit view your wings look like that are sort of coming out of the nose of the planeif your monitors are not setup correctly :) Once you turn your monitors ( about 45degrees if I am not mistaken ) the effect is pretty nice. (sorry I don't have any pics :( ) F.E.A.R does almost the same thing as HL2 does when in TH mode but still looks and plays damn good :-) |

Hi JKeefe,I have not played nor do I own Pacific Fighters, but I've seen the Matrox PR screenshots and noticed the wings sticking out. I have my monitors at a 45-degree angle and have yet to run across a situation where this doesn't seem to work well. |
