You need to spend £300 on a TH2GO if you want more than just a few supported games. Add to that the price of monitors...

Also, if you ever decide to buy a better monitor, guess what? You need to buy three (or make do with different sized monitors).

I am planning to get tripple monitor myself

but atm... I can't justify the cost.. dual 24'' monitor is what I'm aiming at atm.
Besides, I think 2x24'' monitor is way more than enough desk space for most people including people in the programming industry (or am I mistaken?

).

Stupid youtube video showing Crysis on 3 monitors....

Yea but if you play FPS games then your crosshair will be stuck in the middle of the monitors frames.

I used to have a TH2G but GTR2 was forever crashing online with it. Now using a 42" Full HD TV. I sit further away from the TV than I did the 3x 19" screens I had on the TH2D and for the driving/flying I do it actually seems a more natural view.

Meh the frames breaking up the picture just destroys any enjoyable gaming imo...

Just get a bigger, widescreen.

1 24-30'' monitor is good enough for gaming... If you want surround gaming, get a 3d monitor instead

try softth, also allows you to use just 2 monitors with the cross hair being in the middle of a screen not bezel

be warned though once youve gone to 3 monitors theres no going back

You dont need a tripple head 2 go. My friend ran his 3rd monitor over the network and there was no slowdown or lag, and he was playing a movie on it

You need it if you want a wide range of game support. SoftTH supports triple screens too, but nowhere near as many games.

Was that the way of you talking him out of it? It sounded more like an encouragment

But tbh, I'd go for 3 monitors anytime If I had that much money to burn (with everything else considerered.)
