I want my Dual DVI! Petition – this page also has a pretty complete list of the Dual DVI cards out there. Matrox also has a Millenium G550 Dual-DVI at a reasonable price, although not without limitations (both primary and secondary desktops must be set at the same resolution and color depth, and the maximum available resolution is 1280×1024). Still, if you’re running W2K, this or the Parhelia is pretty much your only decent multi-monitor option.
I picked up the recently discontinued Gainward Ti 4600 card a few weeks ago. Originally I had intended to pick up a pair of LCD screens by now, but it turns out the screens I were looking at (NEC-Mitusbishi LCD1760NX) are using the same 18-bit AU Optronics screens as the Hitachi CML174 series [Tom’s Hardware has some info: Hitachi CML174SXW, LCD 17: Samsung 171N & NEC LCD1760V vs. Everyone Else], which well, just really isn’t acceptable.
LG.Philips have recently announced some new screens with impressive brightness, color saturation, and contrast ratios as well as 12-16ms response times that according to Tom’s Hardware will be out by this summer, so I’ll probably be waiting a while before I drop a thousand dollars on displays. Who knows, maybe Samsung will even have something new out.
