I'm saving up for a setup to better spend my hard earn cash to upgrade what little quality game time i have sad.gif

For awhile, i was considering buying the biggest/baddest LCD screen i can afford but after reading the earlier pages, i stumbled across WSGF powered by Matrox TH2G. I knew about this company waaay back last century ehhe any how i forgotten about it. Now with its latest product, a LOT of games are supported for more "Immersive" gaming experience drool.gif So instead of spending 2-3k for ONE LCD ... it's almost more worth while to get 3 19" to be 3840 x 1024 reso (3x1280 x 1024) Since now its about 6-7xx a pop for a 19 incher plus the gizmo. It's about the same.

Anyone has on hand experience on this? Or bought of the unit? Do share.

1st of all the setup cost aint cheap as well on this so call surround gaming. Let break out the cost as below
19 inch lcd nowdays would cost bout rm650 for 1 so 3 would be almost close to 2k
The matrox triplehead cost bout 399 usd if not mistaken and its equivalent to bout rm1.3k
Also the power consumption of 3 lcd should be higher as compare to one
Graphic card power required to render things at the highest resolution possible, 3840x1024. Lowest resolution of 1920x480 sweat.gif I dont know how ugly it will looks when compare directly to a 1920x1200 27 or 28inch monitor

And by looking at the resolution, the image is indeed by stretch too widely. Also I dont think to see the plastic bezel of the lcd monitor which seperate each monitor, even if you line them up properly, where you still see the image on screen spliting up. For me I rather go for a large wide screen to had a more comfortable viewing then this.

some corrections

It's 299 USD = so roughly 1.051k ++ laugh.gif
1920x480 is actually 640 x 480 spread to 3 monitors horizontal. And who the heck do 640 x 480 reso rclxub.gif
It's has nothing to do with the GC when you use this gizmo as it just display/spread it into 3 separate 1280 x 1024 screens of information, and displays across three independent 1280 x 1024 monitors so you can use it right out of the box with your current GC . Granted you would not get the highest possible reso compared to a real 28 incher but 3840 to 1920 is quite a bit of a view. Read THIS for some review.

And the bezel thingy.. i guess it's kinda depends on ones tolerence. Do agree with you some points, wanted to know if anyone in malaysia tried this thumbup.gif

guys, about the samsung 226BW. I heard that there are S , C and A panels which the S is the awesome , A is still fine and C is the worst 1 which can be determine by looking at the rear of the monitor.

but today i went to shop and go adn look for the sticker behind the monitor, it doesnt show any S,C or A. It's juz blank with " model 226BW " it dun even have the [R] right of it.

then i look down and it shows "Made in Dongguan, China". So, which panel could it be ?
Well it seems that some unfortunately got the China treatment doh.gif It's the "C" Panel made by Chi Mei flex.gif ah well.. for more info check THIS out icon_rolleyes.gif

THIS link would be more useful i think, it seems that his monitor is a June batch made at a *different* factory? yawn.gif Man.,. how many factory do they have anyway.. watsup99's seem to be made in Dongguan June batch...while the article it's from TIANJIN !!! May batch which is S panel!!

Moral of the story try to at least get from Tianjin hmm.gif lol! Btw, it seems that apart from Panel S, A and C from CMO another variant pop up as well CPT a supposedly poorer reputation than the original panel C(CMO) manufacturer!!! THIS article - Samsung is screwing with us lol, or they're trying to cut cost by going to lower quality.. sigh. I'm gonna hold back a bit on getting their stuff now doh.gif
