Right. I've done some research on this, and it turns out that it has (I think) a problem I hadn't anticipated (which is why it's not in the list of requirements above). If I understand http://www.matrox.com/mga/products/tech_info/g550_factsheet.cfm properly, the bit of the "2D & display features" section that says: --- Max resolution (primary RGB monitor or analog flat panel) 2048x1536 @ 32bpp Max resolution (secondary RGB monitor, analog flat panel or TV) 1600x1200 @ 32bpp Max resolution (primary + secondary digital flat panel) 1280x1024 @ 32bpp --- means that I'll only be able to run the TFT at 1280x1024. Since the TFT I've got my eye on as a native resolution of 1600x1200, this would be a bit of a waste.
