Hey Japala, I got two 19" screens with a resolution of 1600x1200. What do you have there? I am asking cause I suspect that performance will gradually get with larger screen sizes. Because the software video driver will have draw more pixels on a 1600x1200 than on a 1280x1024 screen. What do you think?

it's better, as long as this is for a work in the office, i think, it can safe your money, twice or more, than using eyefinity / matrox .

tip: SD content should have much less lag for video. Try running at 640x480 res. for a seamless SD output :)

all of these solutions have a bit of lag. Doesnt matter much for working, but i wont use it for gaming or watching movies, you will notice quite some lag then.

hey, i am planning to buy an adapter for a third monitor, can someone tell me if the lag is with every adapter the same? or does the lag depend on the brand? and a second question: if i am playing a game that uses 3 screens, will i notice any disturbing lag? or is it just a small detail? thanks.

yea, because a usb can't run 5gb per second. but it's already so good.
