I'm gonna wait until they make an LCD panel that is a seamless section of a sphere 6 ft wide by 2 ft tall with infinite resolutions which all look as good as its "native" res, and color purity and blacks which are as good as the best CRTs.
Oh, and for under $2000.

BTW, you need the "Micromedia Flash plug-in" to read their site

From the specs:
Video connections: "Two 15-pin D-sub type".
So, big deal, it's a couple of screens put together in one case instead of two. You won't be able to use it without a DH card...
At this point, I'd rather get 3 Sony 15" with the triple foot

Or get Three types of ANY screen with a VESA mount and buy a TH VESA stand, or make one yourself and save a few hundred Euros.

Do they actually make TH VESA arms? Do you have a link (will search myself when I get a chance)? I like that approach.Originally posted by az

www.ergotron.com is one popular manufacturer of monitor stands that also offers multi-moitor mounts.
www.vogels.com is also a maker of monitor stands, but I don't know if they make any triplehead ones.
Generally though, VESA stands are expensive, and the multihead units even more so. If you don't need any fancy compression spring operated adjustments etc, making one yourself is not exactly rocket science and can save you a LOT of money (to buy better or more screens, or a P8X, or whatever)

I never liked the ergotron stuff... its kind of ugly and a serious pain in the ass to assemble or route cables. Plus their stuff is very expensive.Comment
