The Parhelia APVe is a strange beast. I can completely understand what Matrox had in mind when it was designing this card, but in reality it seems to be subject to one or two significant compromises. Obviously those compromises have been made to achieve the keen price point, but I still feel that users in this market would be willing to pay more for a product with a more complete feature set.

However, if you have two TFT displays and are willing to drive one of them with an analogue signal, the APVe will let you configure an enviable monitor setup.Read full review
