Matrox TripleHead Triples Your Viewing Pleasure

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that's-a-lot-of-real-estate dept.

mikemuch writes "Matrox brings one of the coolest features of its Parhelia graphics card--the ability to drive three monitors--to any setup through a little VGA box. ExtremeTech has a review of the Matrox TripleHead2Go up. The review is pretty positive, the immersion in games and extra productivity area are a definite boon, but there are drawbacks: First of all, three hi-res monitors will set you back some serious dough, also there are some compatibility issues with ATI GPUs, and you may get a little vertigo while surrounded by your WoW world."

    Uh, I just bought a 600 euro screen from Dell that does 1680x1050. I prefer it over the two 17" screens at work because of video and games - also my development environment still works better on just one screen instead of two (even though it IS optimized for two screens). You cannot split lines of text over two screens, it's that simple. All this said, I really don't see this having to much to do on this topic, so we'll probably be modded down :)
