So. I've bought my TH2GO Digital Edition and it's sitting on my coffee table, mocking me. The only thing that's left to do is purchase two additional 20" monitors to go with my LG Flatron L206WTQ.

Of course, after reading the "Known Working/Not Working" thread I see that I need to do my homework before purchasing to ensure that my monitors with support 1680x1050 @ 57Hz, so here are my thoughts:

The specs from this 22" on the Known Working list: LG Flatron W2252TQ:
http://www.lge.com/products/model/detail/w2252tq.jhtml

Sync Range
Horizontal Frequency 30KHz~83KHz
Vertical Frequency 56Hz~75Hz

My current monitor: LG Flatron L206WTQ-BF:
http://www.lge.com/us/support/product/support-product-profile.jsp?customerModelCode=L206WTQ-BF&initialTab=warranty&targetPage=support-product-profile#

Sync Range
Horizontal Freq. Analog : 30 - 83 kHz (Automatic)
Digital : 30 - 83 kHz (Automatic)
Vertical Freq. 56 - 75 Hz (Automatic)


Looks like they have the same specs for pretty much everything else too and I don't see any LG's in the "Not Working" section of the list. So is there a surefire way to know or will I have to spend the money to find out? :?

Using just the one monitor, create a custom resolution of 1650x1080@57 hz, using the nvidia control panel.

If this displays, with out any of these 'nag' screen telling you that your monitor is not set to a optimal resolution. then you can assume that running 3 of these through your matrox will work fine.

Awesome, thanks Cygone. I'll give this a try when I get home from work! Knew there had to be something other than "buy it and see".

Heh, I just realized that you said "1650x1080", was this a typo? I created a 1650x1080 res @ 57Hz and it was not supported. I then created a 1680x1050 res at 57Hz and the test was successful.

Aix, Yes Cygone would have made a typo. 1680x1050 res at 57Hz is what you need to test for to confirm compatibility with TripleHead2Go Digital Edition. (3 X 1680) X 1050 = 5040 X 1050. I'm glad that this test worked for you!
