  • Matrox DualHeadToGo

    Excuse the Xpost, but this is one of those that needs wide dispersal;

    Whazzit? Matrox-style dualhead display capability on a laptop or PC's using integrated display adapters.

    I'm actually amazed.... something interesting from Matrox for the first time in years.
    Wikipedia and Google.... the needles to my tangent habit.

      Blah, just wait till the reviewers bash it due to poor 3D performance

        Screw 'em. It's for productivity multimonitor applications anyhow...something ATI and NVIDIA know next to nothing about.

          Very interesting!
          You can only blame your own integrated graphic chip for poor 3D performance, not Matrox.
          In this case, your existing computer will be directly responsible for all the drawing on both DualHead2Go screens..

              So basically it makes two monitors appear as one wide one to a single VGA pot. Sweet! A nice simple practical concept.

                    Oooh. I am just drooling at the thought of the number of monitors that could be used if this was combined with other multi-monitor solutions.

                      I like it very much, and now will give me the option to go dual head on my work laptop!!!

                      AWESOME!!!

                        Note that this doesn't add any graphics ports to the system. The intrgrated video driver needs to be able to generate 2048x768 or 2560x1024 resolutions in the first place. This box just splits the signal up into two smaller monitors (and presumably provided the appropriate EDID information).

                        That said, it is a pretty cool thing. I'll have to see what my (old) laptop is capable of now
