Matrox Triple Head 2 Go is great! I plan to get another one soon!
Increases desktop work space. Easy to install with my old destop PC.
I can only get 16 bit color resolution instead of 32 bit. Also was not easy to set up with my laptop, a P-4 3.06 ghz Toshiba. I think if I really wanted to get it to work, I could.
Posted 1 year ago - My PC is ancient, circa 1999: It's P-3 550 mhz, and I was using two video cards, each with its own monitor, for a total of 2 monitors. Adding the Matrox unit to one video card allows me to use 3 monitors with one card and a fourth monitor with the second video card. So I went from 2 to 4 monitors, and had no trouble getting the Matrox unit to work. I've had it about 2 months and it's a terrific unit. Sometimes there are problems which need to be tweaked, (some software does weird things to resize the desktop, but that's usually easily enough fixed). I think this is a great product and will probably get another one so I can use 6 monitors altogether. My goal is to have 9 screens eventually like I saw on display at the Microsoft campus in Redmond. I love being able to work on a Word document on one screen and have 3 other Explorer windows open for research and surfing, and to be able to watch all four screens at once. My old P-3 550 mhz processor actually manages to do all the processing needed to display everything without overtaxing the system too much. I realize that this is also dependent upon the quality of the video cards being used, but overall, I'm very pleased. This is the only product in its class that I could find that is reasonably priced for what it does. I love it! I think the fact that it's external to the PC may also cut down on internal heat, which I like to keep away from the processor as much as possible. Yes, it would be nice to have it inside the box, but it's hidden nicely.
