Hello I am new to the forums and have a question. I have 2 Dell 2005FPW widescreen monitors. I was wondering if I got a Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital and ran it at the 3840 x 1024 would it look really bad. I guess what I am asking is anyone else tried it and how has it looked for them. Any comments would help thanks guys.

Hello ... welcome to the forum ... 8)
I have tried it on 3 24" Dells ...
The Dells are great at scaling but I didn't like it as things are stretched looking ... especially on desktop apps.
There are others though that find it OK ....
Hopefully Matrox will sort out some more widescreen resolutions in the future.

I am on the same boat.

I think Jkeefe did it... but in that thread I have been unable to understand how he did it.

5040x1050 please!

I haven't done it. I use 3 21 CRTs @ 3072x768.

What thread?

JKeefe does the picture quality look back when you use your 21's with a non native resolution?.

CRTs don't have a native resolution. :)
