Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital

REVIEW

By Jason Cross

Dual-monitor setups have been proven to increase productivity (as much as productivity can be proven, anyway). To that end, most graphics cards—even the cheap ones—have a pair of monitor outputs and all sorts of good software features for using two monitors at once. What do you do if two isn't enough, though? The kings of "lots of monitor outputs," Matrox, released a product that would use one monitor output to drive three displays. This TripleHead2Go was reviewed back in 2006, and though it works as promised, it has one glaring flaw: it's analog VGA only.

Spec Data
  • Price as Tested: $329.00 List

Bottom Line

It works as advertised, but costs more than a second graphics card. There are better ways to drive multiple displays, for most users.

Pros

Does just what it claims to—turns one DVI output into three.

Cons

Included cables are too short. Expensive.
