I have one problem, Anna Kournikova in the left screen isn't filling the whole window... any suggestions?  I'm guessing that I would have to unplug that monitor and adjust it manually?

Well I unplugged the TripleHead2Go and plugged the far left screen into the computer and I had a full working screen...  I'm at a loss.

Better clarification of my problem:

In the far left screen I have two black boarders on each side and no matter what I do with the monitor itself, I still have borders.

What resolution are your monitors? Triplehead2go has a maximum resolution which basically means you can't go over 3x1680x1050 and even that requires a bios flash, earlier the max was 3x1280x1024. You also need a dvi-d connection.

Left wing takeoff



Front view showing the bezel management in action.. see the sides and the way the screens tie in together with the cockpit frame



Cant beat this 6 view.. blurring due to TrackIR movement from dummy shooting the pictures.

One con can be clearly seen. Horribly narrow vertical viewing angle :) ... or if one keeps vertical at "normal", one gets distorted side views.

Track IR cures that... and supposedly one day I will be able to turn all 3 monitors 90 degrees to get the best of all worlds.

The dork factor of wearing those as opposed to 3 monitors is at least 5 times greater.

I'm about an arms length.  The norm.
