Greetings from South Africa!
I am in the process of upgrading from a Samsung 226BW (TN-panel) to 3 HP ZR22W LCDs which cost around ZAR3000 each (about USD429) - to hook up to my desktop machine. I am therefore considering the ATI FirePro V4800 for Eyefinity...I work in Sketchup and Adobe products, so I'm not sure if the V4800 is an overkill for my needs.
However, I also have a Macbook Pro 17 (Sandy Bridge, AMD Radeon HD 6750M) that I would also like to connect (occasionally) to and extend/spread my Mac desktop across the 3 monitors. From your experience/knowledge, is a "Macbook-->TH2G-->3xHP ZR22W" possible without compromising on the resolution? (I know that there is difference between the MBP 16:10 and the ZR22W 16:9 and am wondering if there are any limitations)
If the latter is possible, then it will be great as the TH2G can be the perfect "intermediary" of sorts between both my desktop PC and the Macbook, and my only concern thereafter will just be to acquire a decent enough graphics card for the desktop. Is this setup possible?
3 quick additional things I would to know about:
Thank you for reading this long post, and hope to hear from anyone soon!
Cheers!

3 quick additional things I would to know about:
- do either the V4800 or TH2G cater for bezel management?
- The TH2G can do 3 x 1920x1080 @ 50Hz - I cannot see any mention of refresh rate on the HP site, but will this be a problem?
- Lastly, how have you guys setup your 3xLCD display. To save on space, I am considering angling the flanking monitors at 45-degrees as per the picture below, or would 30-degrees be adequate?
