Mach1.9pants, cool :)
My problem ...
[quote]A second possible way to avoid analog connections might be to fit a double adapter to the monitor's DVI input. Do these exist? Isn't the whole point of the "Dual" in "Dual Link DVI" to allow this?
A third possible way to avoid analog connections might be to use some kind of KVM switch? Could that work? Anybody have this kind of setup?
seems solved ...
All I need is a DVI Switch Box 2:1. Times three. They seem rare.
One model is the Cabac "DVI Switch Box 2:1 Manual Black" (SBDVI2P) for
$AUD35. See also the
manufacturer's specs.
In addition to three of these DVI switch boxes all I need, in terms of hardware, is:
* 2 graphics cards with 2 DVI outputs each.
* Triple Head to Go, Digital Edition.
* 3 Monitors with at least one DVI input. I don't need an extra DVI input, nor HDMI, nor even VGA.
I can now have a DTH2G setup AND a Direct-to-cards/Independent monitors setup, using entirely digital connections. I can use powerdesk, gridmove, or Ultramon.
you only need TWO of those DVI switcher since u can do the "dvi passthrough" from your th2g to the DVI port on your monitor. basically run single screen off your th2g.
if you think about it. you can put the extra $ you will spend on the DVI switcing thingy and put it to the cost of a better monitor that have dvi/hdmi/vga output and don't even bother with the switch box.
to tell you the truth unless you:
- have $ to spare
- area hardcore FPS, driving, flight sim gamming fan.
you don't really need a Th2g.
work/producitivy wise, the Th2go is useless. the only reason I got a th2go is it was onsale and I'm a big FPS fan and always looking for the next viceral 3D immersion experience. I have tired large screen HDTV, VR headsets and Triplehead. and so far Th2o is gave me the most practical and immersive experience and I would never want to go back to regular single screen gaming.
other than gaming the Th2g is useless to me though.
