I am glad to see someone finally made something small and affordable for the common man to use in their homes. I will wait for the DVI version (this has to be around the corner) and I'll pick this up. My 8800gtx has two DVI slots, but I won't get that 3 monitor support :P Who knows, Hook up 6 monitors? mwahahaha~!

I'll play around with it and see what I can get out of VanGuard.

I just bought the analog one and now the digital one is out... oh well! Any recommendation on what monitors I should buy to go with it? I'm using 2 old monitors at the moment that I'd just as soon replace. Also, how do I get Everquest 2 to run in 2400x600? Which file do I have to edit?

Normally the game will allow you to adjust the resolution somewhere in the Video settings menu. As for which monitor...your simply looking for the lowest MS response time with the highest contrast ratio and the smallest bevel/bezel. I'm currently using the Acer AL1950 monitors which have a 2ms response but I find the bevel/bezel a bit wide and the contrast a bit lower than I'd prefer. If I had it to do over again I'd concentrate on the contrast a bit more.

Everquest 2 doesn't let you pick 2400x600 as a resolution, and the article mentioned that she configured a ini file to get it to work. I'm looking for those details. Hmm I knew I was looking for small response time in a monitor. Sigh, when I got to NewEgg they have so many it's hard to choose.

Well, I can't say I like playing Everquest in 2400x600 mode. It doesn't let you zoom out enough and you have almost no vertical perception. If you buy this thing, make sure you have a nvidia card. You can achieve much better than 2400x600 with a nvidia card. I'm returning my ATI X1600Pro tonight and getting an NVIDIA so I can try EQ2 in 3360x1050. That should be much better.

Well, a few graphics cards later and I'm almost set up. I initially had a Radeon 9600SE which doesn't like the TH2G. I got a X1600Pro which lets you get 2400x600 which turns out to be CRUMMY... so in reality I'd say for a gamer that the TH2G does NOT support ATI cards. I returned the card and got a GeForce6200OC, which is simply not enough horsepower to run EQ2 in 3840x1024, though I did get a peek at it. I returned that card and got the AGP version of the GeForce7800GS. NOW I'm cooking with gas. EQ2 and Neverwinter Nights 2 both give me great wide displays with fluid movement even on high settings. It's so immersive! I'm using three 22" widescreen monitors by CHIMEI. So we are talking REALLY wide. I can't wait to go home and play with this setup some more!
