Title: Matrox TripleHead2Go?
Post by: loctite on December 12, 2006, 12:46:53 AM

Have you heard of this hardware.  It allows 3 screens for the one output from the video card.  Would Aces High II support this.  It looks like it would really help with SA.  Center screen front//  right screen right //left screen leftwould be your left view.  Then when you looked right or left up or down etc they would all change appropriatly?http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/cadgis/products/th2go/th2go.php
Just curious if anybody has tried this out?   Not that I could afford this and 2 more monitors...

AH doesn't do wide screen so well. It zooms up in a 3:4 ratio to fit the total width, then crops the top and bottom to get a wide screen.

In effect you see things larget in the middle 1/3 of your screen, but you'd lose 1/3 on the top and 1/3 on the bottom, severely reducing your viewable area.
