Will a HDMI to Displayport adapter work on the input side?

I hope so!

Here's hoping that come release, 3x1600x1200 will be supported.

thinking about hdmi to display port, going from a lower performing connection to a higher performing connection might still work if hdmi supports the required bandwidth for high triple screen resolutions. i dont know lol, i just want my acer x223 monitors to run at 5040x1050 60hz so i can get out of the 4098x768.. its killing me!

HDMI has something like 10GBit of bandwidth, so that's not the issue.

Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 Atomic Vapor-X 2gb with dvi, hdmi, and DisplayPort

a good card with dp coming in a few weeks.

Excellent, can't wait.. hopefully by Q3 2009 some next-gen video cards (GTX 3xx, HD 5xxx) come out too so we can all splurge and upgrade to a new amazing computer :D.

Wonder how many monitors there are with DisplayPort? Seems like the 1.5 year old Dell 2408WFP has it already :shock:

Definitely seems like Matrox made the right bet here by releasing a new technology to coincide with availability of DisplayPort (as opposed to the ages it took for a DVI version of Th2Go).

Luckily we shouldn't have to worry about that as far as DP-TH2G is concerned ;)

Why not? It's pure DisplayPort, (1 in, 3 outs) so it makes sense to buy a monitor with DisplayPort (and future proof). I actually searched and found quite a few PVA/IPS monitors with DisplayPort, which is fine for me since I can't stand TN monitors anyway.

I'll probably end up using the DisplayPort connectors for my TH2Go and the DVI connectors simultaneously, being able to quickly switch between spanned and 3 monitor mode that way. Using the spanned mode for anything other than gaming really gets annoying quick.. especially on my analog where the colors are far worse :(.

if the next high-end graphics cards supports the latest DisplayPort specification it would be quite possible to triple screens
1920*1200 or 1920*1080 in 60fps

i want this product! I'm one of those people that don't have 5040x1050 57hz monitors :( any updates on availability?

I do not know a whole lot about display port, but I remember when it was still in the making and one of the cool new features it had was the ability to run up to 6 monitors from a single connection by daisy chaining one monitor to the next.

So my question is, if you can do this do you even need a Matrox? Perhaps its similar to how USB --> VGA adapters work where you get a extra screen but its not fast enough for a game/movie where a lot happens on screen at a fast rate.

I really want to add a 2nd monitor to my existing one at work and I am stuck with our stock computers so my only option is a USB adapter or a Matrox and I just cant find a Matrox cheap anywhere, not even an analog dual version.
