The TripleHead2Go Digital Edition has addressed nearly every issue from their prior Triple-Head product. Not only does the unit support widescreen digital displays, but it can mix-and-match any combination of displays. The hardware’s usability is greatly improved by implementing USB power and a more intuitive port layout. The unit’s software has also been improved, featuring flexible desktop customization that beats the pants off of traditional multi-monitor support.
In addition to the additional desktop productivity you’ll receive, the unit also allows for extreme widescreen gaming with digital displays. If your video card is powerful enough, then this feature alone is so jaw-droppingly awesome that you’ll replay all of your old favorites for the new experience. It can be a distinct advantage in PvP arenas, as you can see everything around you, including that guy trying to sneak up on you.
BioShock: With Field of View marks defined
The only problem with this unit lay in the current technology: you can’t currently use the native modes of most digital LCD panels. DirectX9 limits the resolution of any one display, forcing you to use a lower resolution. While most players will have to lower their gaming resolution to get playable frame rates, this shouldn’t impact the desktop. I would love to use three 1920×1200 widescreen monitors at their native resolution for a total desktop size of 5700×1200, but this just isn’t possible. If you have three 4:3 LCD monitors, then the maximum resolution of 3840×1024 will provide an excellent display as each monitor will be running in its native mode and aspect ratio.
Hopefully there will be a firmware patch that will allow this unit to reach the resolutions available in DirectX10. Until then, you will make some slight compromises between using this unit for gaming or desktop purposes.
