27" to 30" Gaming Monitor

Ace, does your setup show POV270 on left and POV90 on right or is the display stretched across? Could you/grathos post a photo of your screens with a cockpit view? I'm confused...

Im at work right now, Ill post a pic when I get home..

From memory, while sitting in the spit.. Look forward (12) I can see most of the wing.. but not all the way out to the wing tip like you could in IL-2

But IL-2 was a fudge funky widescreen view.. the wings appears to be swepped foward, and if you tilted yourhead the horizon and plane would bend at the cross over between monitors.. That does not happen in CoD.. In CoD you get a much wider view that looks totally normal

In the mean time.. here is a Crossfire example

3xMonitors

What you see there is what I see using TH2G..

With regards to the peripheral view

Problem with that video, the guy who took it stood to close to his setup, such that you can not appreciate the FULL VIEW. To really appreciate it you need to see all three screens at the same time.. Than you can get a feel for how much your peripheral view is increased..

Note the few times that you can see most of all three.. When the gun site is centered.. Note the center monitor shows you what you see/saw with just one monitor.. At those times note how much of the wing you can see both left and right while looking forward. Basically with TH2G you get one whole extra monitors worth of view both left and right.. I tell ya.. it really improves you SA!!

For example, watch this video and pay att to the canopy knock-out on the LHS of the spitfire canopy.. When looking forward with 3 monitors you can see most of that knock out.. When looking forward with 1 monitor you can just see the forward edge of it

I used to use an Apple 30" monitor. Nothing can compare the the graphic details with this monitor. If you are are more interested in graphics then it is worth the money to buy one or atleast a used one. I presently have a Panasonic 50" 3D tv I use as my monitor. The large screen add a whole different dimension to gaming. However you do lose the graphic details with a 1080p monitor. I am very happy with both. The larger screen really adds realism and feel to the game.

The MATROX TH2G can use different monitors.. So if you have a NVIDIA card and you have three different monitors.. TH2G is your answer

NP, and if you do consider a TH2G make sure you get the digital version, not the analog!! Also know they got another product that merges just two screens togther.. DH2G.. I dont recomend that one.. because the monitor frame will be right down the center of your view.. now way to ignore that!

Well GTX560 x 2 is even better .. by far. SLI when you rendering high res is the only real way to go.

Never tried the NVIDIA Surround.. so maybe.. Neat thing about the TH2G is it does simplify the interface to the PC.. Only one DVI cable connected to one DVI output of the video card.. The TH2G box does the rest, as in connects to the three monitors.. Basically 1 in 3 out.. So the video card does not have to do any fancy rendering to split the image across three DVI outputs across two vidoe cards.. Maybe that is why I am not seeing the stutters that others report? Any other TH2G users reading this thread please let us know what vid cards your using
