Widescreen Gaming Forum

Greetings,

I'm trying to plan a monitor purchase with a TripleHead2Go and was wondering--what is the general consensus here (if there is one) about whether in the future Matrox will support 3 x 1650 x 1080 resolution for the TripleHead2Go? That would be the native resolution for three 22" lcd monitors. Would the guess be: Soon? Never? Maybe sometime down the road?

I sent a note to their sales department and didn't get a specific response, as it's certainly understandable why they would not want to go on the record with an answer in case it changes.

Thanks much in advance.

One can dream, it is theoretically possible but not likley by any means, matrox's next product in the line will most likley be displayport based.

Thanks much for the reply.

For God shake, I am waiting for this EONS ago!
Perhaps I must sell my 2005FPW's and buy three regular 4:3 LCD's.....
Someone said Matrox has something new

No, they will never support 3x1650x1080.






On the other hand, they may support 3x1680x1050 one day. :P .

LOL--oops!

They did it today. I knew it was coming, and it was killing me not to be able to post here.

:shock:

Unless I'm misinterpreting something here... awesomeness :D

They told you ahead of time, Ibrin? Nice.

If you knew ahead of time, then why didn't you have the widescreens already?

I didn't have the money to buy them.

Holy cats--woot!

Thanks very much, Matrox.

Her is the official news release

Sooo what is the best 22 inch out there? Especially reference bezel size?
Is there any larger than 22' but still using 1680x1050?

Maybe I should buy a couple of the cheaper Dell 24" run them at that res and bump up the AA/AF! :)

Dude get 200-22in you do not want to pump 1680*1050 into a 1920*1200 monitor, you will get poorer quality than on a 20-22

Now, this barrier of 3 x 1280 x 1024 is broken, I wonder when will the 3 x 1680 x 1050 be broken again?
What is keeping Matrox from going up to 3 x 1920 x 1080/1200 ? Maybe, they are waiting for ATI HD6870 or Nvidia GTX480 to have enough graphic power for those pixels?

I dunno just for a test I ran CoD4 on my 24" Dell at 1680x1050 with 16AA/AF it looked fine!

That may be true but 16AA/AF at 5040x1050 will be hard to run.

Believe it or not mine looks fine with just 2xAA and on the desktop/windows etc. (if you didn't know) you wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't the native res.

Okay, I guess I could be wrong, I just hear the monitor scalers were evil.
