1920x1200x3 exceeds the bandwidth cap of a dual-link DVI connection. 1280x800x3 is 3840x800 and is supported in the Digital TripleHead2Go. |

so not even a update will fix? No. In the simplest terms, three 1920x1080 monitors have more pixels than can be transferred via dual link DVI. |

However, an update could allow 5040x1050. |

I really hope they do. I will definitely but the DVI edition then :). I am tired of using 19" monitors already, I want to get 22" 1680x1050 :P. |

[quote]However, an update could allow 5040x1050. you think there will be an update for that resolution? Unfortunately I don' think there will be. I spoke about this with Matrox when I did my review of the Digital TripleHead2Go. Here is what they had to say, written in a snippet of my review: An unfortunate omission from the list of supported widescreen resolutions is 5040x1050 (triple 1680x1050). Although DX8 and DX9 GPUs are not capable of outputting an image greater than 4096 pixels wide, new DX10 GPUs such as the NVIDIA 8800 series have increased this limit to 8192 pixels, even in DX8 and DX9 applications. Matrox states “the maximum pixel clock supported by the dual-link DVI output could, in theory, enable the triple 1680x1050 resolution†|
