  • How many here are planning on dual head use?

    I personnaly have 2 monitors but cant find a reason in my computing to use the dual head. I was wondering who will use it and for what?
    Do you all have two monitors or are you planning on getting another?

    I've got 3 monitors, but before I get more room on my desk, and this desk isn't as full as Paul's as in ALBPM's one, I don't think I'll use the dualhead...

    I might want to hook it up to my TV, but then I have the problem that I need to extend the cable of my MS Gamepad & keyboard, so I can play NFS:HS on TV, or I'll have to break down one wall, otherwise I can't see my TV..

    Next to that, maybe if you want to play against another player (friend), and both see the same picture on another monitor? That's the only way I see possible !!

      I use it every day.
      Got my 31" TV hooked up to it for DVDs, and eventually games, when I get an IR kb/mouse or some other way to get my controllers over there. I often just use it to have a music DVD playing in the background while I work or surf on my main monitor.

        I do, I think it's going to be something you don't want to live without once you're used to it.

              Stupid me. I thought Matrox meant a two headed troll. I would have like one of those...

              I just hope they will have it a my local hardware pushers by friday.

                        Dual Head works a treat - Just tonight I was using it. I was playing 'The Matrix' mpeg file, outputting to my VCR... (umm, I didn't say that!) while at the same time working on my PC.
                        Cool eh?

                            Hunsow,

                            I guess I just didn't get the meaning in your post right. Did you mean to say that the things you could say should not be said because of their explicit nature (x-rated)? I guess so. Correct me if I'm wrong. You never know who might be offended by a little jest like the one I posted.

                            Regards,

                            Jake

                              Dual head`s a great feeling :-)
                              Use it everyday and I think I'd have some trouble going back to only one. Can`t wait to see how it compares to two cards...
