I thought about buying one, but then my TFT died and I went back to a used CRT from my co-worker. 21" and 1280x1024 now. no use for a movable arm (CRT too heavy )
but I intend to go dualhead this year, with 2 identical screens.
still hesitating, since I have no clear statement whether my card will support a non 4:3 resolution. they don't list something like 1650x1050 as supported there at matrox for the qid cards...
any hints?

I'm sorry, but my karma just ran over your dogma.
kylie I think it ought to work, I havent seen anything that wont support the resolutions given to it, as long as they are not out of the range of the card,
1280 X 1024 here too . On 3 Samsung 19" TFT monitors.
Multiple monitors is the only way to go for hungry graphical space apps like daws... As long as you assign a shortcut to the blank screen saver to be able to use ears as well as the eyes.
Laptop: 1024x768 lcd & 19" crt @ 1024x768 (it's a crappy KDS and has wavy line issues at higher res)
Wife machine: 1152x864
stardust you might be interested in knowing the samsung 275t has some of the largest pixels available, I chose it instead of the 30" lcd models for this reason. I wanted to be able to put my monitor BEHIND my desk on a stand directly between my nearfields, instead of on the middle of my desk. I've freed up my deskspace and the 'resting point' for my eyes' focus is now 1 meter further away. I still don't wear glasses but with my previous setup I was starting to get eye fatigue (after only 25 years of computer use you'd think I'd need glasses already). This has helped and I get enough res @ 1920x1200 for my graphics work as well as music work.
I'm waiting for a 37" HD ready screen to arrvive soon... I'll put it on the wall 1.8 meter away from my eyes just for video viewing (on a dedicated video machine with chaingang). Oh boyz gear lust again.
Matrox P650
Screen1 24" Acer AL2416WB:- 1920 x 1200
Screen2 18" NEC MULTISYNC LCD 1810 TFT:- 1600 x 1200
Have had the Acer 24" for about two weeks now. Cost £209.00 inc. delivery. Ordered on a Friday - arrived the following Monday. Ordered from microwarehouse. Highly recommended.
I use the Acer for both Cubase and Scope. I just switch between Cubase and Scope by selecting them from the Taskbar. I use the NEC 17" for odd things like displaying manuals, Creamware plugins etc.
PCs 2+3 for running additional plugins - all audio routed into Scope on PC1. Plus TV card - very important!
Both pcs share a 21" Cornerstone Color 50/101sf (ancient CRT) via a Nova View KNV104 switch box. 1280 x 1024.
