So max 3840 × 2400 @ 41 Hz I guess, but 41 Hz is quite low... Compared to the 3840x1024 on the Triplehead2Go, but I guess at a higher frequency then 41 Hz
I think crossfire is the better choice for multi screens as i know there aren't any issues like with Nvidia for sli and 2 monitors, I read an article where a guy had hooked up 12 screens to his crossfire platform
This kind of thing really floats my boat, I'd love it, however.
The turn off on this for me is the same turn off with the 30" widescreen LCDs. You're gonna have to upgrade your GFX card much more often to be able to run the latest games at the native resolutions (pretty high for both). Atleast, that's my thoughts.

which make of Gcard you use imho doesn't matter as long as it supports 3840X1024 for the TH2G and is beefy enough ,the TH2G is seen as a monitor as far as your PC is concerned ;)
i bought the best i could in LCD just for the TH2G
(best affordable that is at £250 each)
viewsonic 19 inch VX922 with 2mS rate
funny enough my PC desk which i made myself(8 ft wide by 4 ft deep ) now looks positively barren since my 21 inch CRT was removed
i rang them
they said that is an error,they are expecting delivery to CORK IRELAND this week and don't expect to ship them to retailers till next week sometime, so if you pre ordered then it could be 2nd week of june by the time you get it if retailers pre ordered their lot before you guys(and depends on numbers too)
take it with a pinch of salt,for all we know the pre ordered peeps might get them sooner ;)
oh and reason for the delay?
one was a new feature,to allow it to work as a DUALHEAD(2 screens only)
which i won't be using
the "gapless" LCDs are coming online,sony has one but it's still expensive so i reckon within 1 year we will see them at normal prices ;)
there is a big difference between widescreen and multimonitor
widescreen is just that,wide screen,but multi monitor,when supported,doesn't stretch the current image but actually gives you about a 45 degree field of view ;)
and i've been told angling the 2 outer monitors makes a HUGE difference
and TH2G has support from 150 or more current games
naah,i do drawings of various scenes in the game i am playing and stick them on the screen flinstone fashion :D
seriously,yes sometimes it's a pain but motorbike season is upon us in the UK,ok so someone forgot to tell the weather :'( ,so i am racing this weekend and busy over the next month,time will go by quickly
Got mine today, although i havent really had time to play with it properly
The few games ive tried work nicely in widescreen, but the HUD really messes up.
Small problems i noticed is that the box runs really hot (to the point i cant keep my hand on it), and that there is ghosting on all the monitors (although that could just be my bad cables).
I still need to finish building my monitor arm, but i will post alot more of my experiences when i update my project log.

Why the delay with this product? Anyone have any info?
Like many others I've been waiting a couple of months for this products release and it is a bit disappointing to hear it's been put back.

Good things come to those who wait...
incidently, its available for pre-order now on shop.matrox:
http://shop.matrox.com/europe/products/datasheet.asp?ID=282
Although it labels the aproximate shiping date as may the 12th, so it may be a wait...
(used it for flight simulator, wrap around view)
Matrox is the only surround solution to support popular games such as half-life 2, quake 4, oblivion, etc.

SLI is probably required to run at like medium settings

I pre-ordered directly from their shop, so hopefully i should get it fairly early.
I'd be interested in seeing your setup once you have the device, and comparing notes :)

very nice setup there, but i always go for the larger wide screen LCD, no multi monitor i find the gpas to distracting and only one GPU to upgrade

but isnt the TH2G like a month off still ...
