Anyone have any idea when they are going to actually release the digital version, been a good couple of months now since they announced it but still no sign...

According to the March 7th press release, it will be "Available in Q2 2007". That gives them until the end of June.

I believe that the availability of the analogue TripleHead2Go slipped slightly, so we may see the same here.

I spoke to Matrox last week and they told me end of June, beginning of July.

Recieved today ... 8)

Dear Valued Customer,

We currently have the Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition available for pre-order through our online store. The product should be ready to ship in mid-July. Your credit card will only be charged once the product is ready for shipment. Please feel free to place your order through our online store directly at http://shopmatrox.com

Thank you for choosing Matrox products.

Regards,
Shopmatrox.com

They are finally accepting pre-orders, thats a good sign!

The matrox shop has had them listed as "out of stock" up until now :)

Now, where did I put my credit card...

Darn, while I cant remember the site now, there was one online sie that stated they expected it to be "Back in stock" on July 18th.

I know that store's software likely placed the back in part of the line because it is a limitation of that SW for dates of products that have run out, it doesnt allow the store owner to state a beginning date for a product, it expects that you have inventory when adding it to the online store.

Based on that I would expect a July 18th or thereabouts for it.

BTW Provantage has the best price I've seen on it yet, and I'm still willing to have someone take my analog version at a good discount to offset my getting the digital one... :wink:

As always matrox as a little company is behind schedule...
:) But do not we know that from other (bigger) companies ( nv... at. ) :twisted:


Be patient!

Bit-Tech has one in thier hands!

too bad i'd have to build a new machine and buy 3 new monitors to use one :(

TK,

I'm sure DV will let you leave your post to go out and get it all setup ....

:wink:

I just read the bit-tech review and the TH2G-Digital looks pretty insane.
Except for the bezel management that is. Let me say first off that the bezel management idea is great, but in their execution they flubbed it up pretty good. It seems from the screenshots that your losing about 3 inches of screen real estate with bezel management turned on.

Given the choice I don't think I would use this feature.

i could see it being handy in racing and fps games, but for others, i wouldn't mess with it.

They havent flubbed anything with bezel management.

How much screen area is shoved towards the center screen depends upon how large your bezels are to begin with. Poor choice of review monitors, not an issue with the feature.

I myself would lose only 1" on either side.

It is also hot key capable, so you can switch it on/off as desired.

The bezel management is exactly the way to do it and is not flubbed up.

Next Friday is now their ship date...Bastards..the 27th?? WTF....

why is it I have no patience for this thing to get here?

I'm just as impatient ...

A question for all, if one uses analog LCD's, which I do, I'm still getting this unit, placing three DVI/VGA converters on it, as this would allow for expansion later on if I replace my current LCD's.

Will Bezel management work in that configuration? I'm thinking yes, as it is the TH2G hardware that is performing the management in conjunction with the software.

Still willing to give anyone less fortunate than myself my old analog unit for $150.

Hi RW-1,

Yes Bezel Management will still work with Analog LCD panels as well as CRT's. For Bezel Management we do not care what is connected, what we care about is the mode that you are in. (3 Stretched)

Hey richieG,

Thanks for the confirmation. That makes me feel better, though I kinda knew it already.

Of course, that begs the next question, can bezel management be implemented intot he analog version of the TH2G down the line as a firmware/software update, or was it hardware specific (I know the answer to this as well, or at least I think so, as if it could be done I would hope Matrox would implement for all of us who already have the analog.)

All in all though I'm willing to upgrade it and give my analog one to someone.

Hey RW-1,

Not sure if the Analog version will benefit from Bezel Management or not in the future. I would think so eventually but we will have to wait and see.

The bennies of that are obvious, however I'll be getting the digital, when one of my current VGA 19" Dell's goes out, then I'll upgrade them to DVI, or at a minimum DVI/VGA.

Happy though, I checked my Chaintech Nvidia 6600 manual, it supports dual link DVI, so I should be able to use the DVI from the card to the ditigal TH2G (not a bother if it didn't, not too many cards had that support at the time I bought mine).

Thanks again, looking forward to the units release shortly! :)
