Hello all, im unfamiliar with the differences in analog and digital. I use analog on my computer now but not sure what that means. How do i go about changing from analog to digital: phone company (my dsl), cable tv company, computer plug ins, etc, etc. The reason why i wish to change is to get Matrox TH2GO digital for the bezel management which is new to the Digital version, is this possible and how do i go about this, thanks all.

Hi again. Analog TH2Go means using the old fashioned VGA connectors to the monitors:

Using digital connections means hooking up the TH2Go with DVI cables, which is better and most modern GPUs (which you need to power TH2Go) have DVI connectors:

And to get advantage of triple wide you need a dual link (which have more bandwidth) cable to go from the PC to the TH2Go...when you buy a unit a dual link cable is supplied anyway.
Have a look here: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php/TH2Go_FAQ and here: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/th2go/

So are you using DVI connectors on your current monitor or VGA? Also note that the best reslution for your 1600x1200 monitor will be 3x1280x1024 (i.e. 3x5:4 aspect)which will involve some distortion to fit in your 1600x1200 monitors (which are 4:3 aspect), I take it the monitors are CRTs not LCDs?
