Split your display with DualHead2Go

There has never been a better time to upgrade a PC to multiple displays. The recent flat panel price cuts make them affordable for users. A single display workspace physically limits the amount of information that users can see. With the adoption of a dual-display workspace, the work process gets faster and management of multiple documents is simplified.

Initializing the trend, Matrox launched the new Matrox DualHead2Go, the world's first external upgrade capable of adding multiple monitor support to compatible laptop and integrated graphics desktop PCs that were previously limited to single screen output.

DualHead2Go is a palm-sized box that connects to the existing single monitor output (external VGA output) of a computer and appears to the system as a single widescreen monitor with native support for resolutions up to 2560 x 1024, which are twice as wide as standard resolutions. Using Matrox technology, DualHead2Go splits the 2560 x 1024 Microsoft Windows desktop into a right and left half, each of which is then sent to two separate analog monitors allowing users to easily upgrade their workspace setups.

DualHead2Go is compatible with a wide range of laptop models and is priced at US$169.
