Matrox TH2Go and Resolutions
In addition to that you need to check the total maximum resolution of TH2Go against 3 times the native resolution of your widescreens (using non-native resolutions on LCD's in some cases will result in blurred images)
If you look in the table below the 3840 width has 5 entries. So here we are looking at 3 screens with each 1280 width. Now for the height there are 720, 768, 800, 960, 1024 resolutions. i.e your three screens can be any combination of 1280 x (720, 768, 800, 960, 1024).
Maybe other combinations are possible as long as you don't exceed the max combined 3840 x 1024 res.

A nice feature on the digital TH2Go is the Monitor Bezel Management

Thanks for the info Kester. The new digital seems to be the way to go with the bezel ajustment. Not sure I understand the resolution table but it sounds like 3 x 24" widescreens will work ok.

Thanks for all the great input so far guys.
Can the Triplehead2go be used with only 2 monitors (I have to slowly buy up the pieces.... can't afford to do it all at once)?
Since the digital version came out, there's some good deals for the analog version..... any good reason not to get the analog over the digital (I'm on a tight budget here)?
Regards,
Henry

well the analog one doesnt have the bezel management (with the bazel management you can adjust the visuals in a way as if the bezels are the window posts of your flightdeck (so actually visuals are dissapearing behind the bezels).
With the analog version you will have somewhat jumpy behavior....lets say a push back truck dissapears behind the bezel it shows up immedeately on the other screen.....looks a bit unrealistic.
If you only want to use 2 monitors there is also a dual head to go. But i dont think there will be a digital version of that one (if you will be able to find it at all)

Henry et al,
I used my TH2GO in dual head mode for quite a while til hooking up a third monitor. The mode extender software gives you all these options. Just connect one monitor to the Centre output and the other one to the left or right output, no problem. Also, the monitor bezel management is no problem if you only use your screens for flight sim and not for general office work as you can adjust the screen positioning to overlap and the joins using you monitors on-screen setup. This solves the view anomolies caused when a view moves from one screen to the next. Of course if you also use the monitors and TH2GO for other desktop work, you are going to lose some of your screen real estate!
As for using 24" monitors with a 1600 wide native res, you will not get any more view out of it as the Matrox is limited to a max of 3840 or in widescreen mode it's 3072 using the mode extender tool. All you will be doing is magnifying the same res over a larger area. You view will look BIGGER not wider.
Given what I see as the limited benefit of the Digital Matrox, I'd certainly go for the analogue version particularly if you are on a budget. And if you can afford 24" screens, then go for it.
Just my view
Ken.

Ken
Thanks for you reply.
Is there any performance hit on the framerate as you start adding more monitors? I would tend to think that there would be as more pixels are getting pushed around with the higher resolution.

Henry
