ooopps!  :P

I called a dealer and they said it will be going for around $300 as the 2 monitor hub goes for around $150.

Ah, thanks for making that call. I had been wondering what this thing would cost. I might go for the two-monitor one some day.

Yeah this unit looks good !    ;D

I can't wait for someone from the flight sim world to write a detailed review on it.

I think there may be a problem with the 2 d cockpit view being streched across the displays,  although the 3d view is ok. This happens now with the Nvidia Nview , but I don't know if there is a fix for it.

cheers

The only real "fix" for that is to build a custom panel that's made to take advantage of two screens. I did it once, but my second monitor is smaller than my main, so I did away with the dual monitor setup.

three monitors would be alot better than two as the center of the screen is usualy the focus of the action and if you have two monitors the border gets in the way.  I had to switch back to one monitor because two monitors was causing me migranes I think because of the border.
