Dell 30 inch 2200 CAD Dell 17 inch 299 CAD X 3 = 900 + Dual Head to go = 1200 Still cheaper then your Dell 30 inch.

#26 Except that 3 large CRT's will consume almost 500 W of power by themselves, making them not as attractive or economical as you might think.

Is it possible to buy two, and connect one each to the outputs of a gfx-card (usually you have either two dvi or one vga and one dvi) to get a six-screen setup? :)

t3h sexy if you have the $$$$ and desktop space to handle 3 LCD mointors.

Now we need game benchmarks run at 3840x1024 to see how bad they will run. Although a 7800 GTX could probably hit 30FPS. Definately would be nice accessory for an SLI rig.

I wonder how Civ IV would look on 3 monitors? Hmmm..

well can 2 pci-e cards display a full screen game over 3 screens? if not then this product has no competition.

Will you just look at that Guild Wars goodness!!!!

Cyril - Brief blurb goes on the front page, make a link to click to get the rest.

Just an idea.

where is my *free* gfx card for that price ???

Matrox sometimes makes good products, but their drivers are often a nightmare to work with when something has a glitch or goes wrong.

Since most desktop graphics cards support dual outputs, why couldn't you have a 6-monitor setup using 2 of these gadgets? Or a 12-monitor setup with your SLI-capable motherboard?

Imagine using video projectors and covering your walls with high-resolution PC output. Instead of the aquarium screen saver, you're now in the middle of a tropical reef!

it would be a great product if it was DVI and cost 99-69 dollars

Bet it gives you a good edge in UT2k4 with some SLI/Crossfire setups.

Otherwise I see no use in the consumer market.

looks like guild wars in the screen shot - pre searing

Sounds like an interesting product for professionals if they found out they need more screens as an afterthought. Still, I'd think anyone with the forethought would build the system correctly to begin. If nothing else, you're not stuck using the "unified display" method of multi-monitoring allowing more flexibility and better compatability. I don't think anyone spending the bucks would flinch at buying one extra video card after the three LCDs and first dualhead card. $299 is a pretty good allowance, and I think overall performance tradeoff would be moot even with a PCI card. Maybe you couldn't put your 3D pre-render screen on the right most display.

Obviously for a laptop, assuming the onboard card can do such a high res (can they?), this is doing something largely impossible otherwise.

I'm trying to think of a reason you need three monitors on a laptop, though... Salespeople, traveling engineer? If you have three LCDs waiting for you at your destination, at that point it almost seems like you could have a whole computer waiting for you. What salesperson is going to expect clients to have three monitors? They're going to use a single projector, not even two displays.

Can't see a gamer or enthusiast being that interested at all. I predict high frustration levels getting your new game to work properly, or finding out one of your favorite games is just outright incompatible.

Novel idea at least.

while this is a cool product and all, i would like to make a statement about all this xxxxxtreeeeme marketing crap. why the x's? calling it a GEM instead of GXM would make it sound pronounceable, shiny, good looking, and precious.

Price of that unit and 3 LCD monitors is less than say a 30" Dell monitor. Of course that is what I am using as I type this. :-)
