        What about video display?

        To get video with a standard 4:3 width you would need 12 monitors.

        But "chip" only quotes that this card will use only 4 chips from the G450,

        Does anyone know if it is intended for letterbox format and when can I expect the 12 monitor version?

          I hope I understood the above right, or the post is pointless

          A normal monitor is 4:3, yea?

          So, take 800x600. Add a monitor above it. Gives 800x1200. Add the same again, and put alongside. That gives 1600x1200. Still 4:3 ratio my friend

          Using resolutions seemed to be the easiest way to do that

            Pace he's refering to needing 12 monitor support on a single card instead of 8 to get a native 4:3 aspect ratio.

              Wouldn't you need 4 monitors, or 9, or any integer squared?

              Since a monitor has a native 4:3 aspect ratio, you would just need to scale it by the same constant in both directions.

                well... maybe he meant this:

                if you put 12 monitors in a 4x3 raster, and let every monitor display one colour (and fill the whole screen) at a time, you get a leet-o-neat 4:3 videowall of 4x3 pixels!

                then again, he might not have meant that...

                  Wouldn't 4x3 monitors be oversized then? As Wombat points out, my 2x2 matrix of screens, or any square matrix multiple will result in a parhelia infusion of matrix display maxtor matrox mixtup feckedup. Yea?

                  4x3 monitors would result in a 16:9 aspect though...which ain't anything like parhelia's reflexed helix's singularity!

                      oooo.

                      4x3 monitors <I>would</I> be a 16:9 ratio. You could make a most impressive widescreen movie theater.
