Geek Tech Live 111 Matrox TripleHead2Go
"I have had the opportunity to test out and set up a Matrox Triplehead2Go unit and let me tell you it rocks the ever loving Eye Holes of Triple Monitor Goodness!"
"Larger Monitors give you more screen real estate and a very large monitor of 30" would be great but could be costly and might still not get you the size you need or want. That's where Matrox comes in. You can take 3 Monitors with the [TripleHead2Go] and [DualHead2Go] with the double (duh) and create your very own JumboTron of sorts for usually a little less than one big monitor. I was able to hook together three 22" monitors with a native resolution of 1920x1080 for a jaw dropping 5760x1080 Massive monitor!" |

10 Specialty Tech Vendors To Put To The Test
"Multi-screen monitors are pretty much the standard now in professional practices. But while most new desktop PCs and Macs now come with support for two monitors, they don't always support more than that. If your primary workstation is a laptop, adding multiple monitors can seem even trickier. Matrox makes it simple, though, providing the DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go systems that simply plug into each monitor and into the computer. No more opening up a PC box to change video cards or worrying about complex hardware requirements. Matrox makes adding multiple monitors easy." |

Church Production Magazine
"We found a device called the Matrox TripleHead2Go. It basically allows us to take an output from our computer and instead of a 1280 x 720 palette, create a 3240 x 720 palette. So we're actually able to create graphics that are three screens wide. Now that "center-piece video-LED-wall-looking thing" is part of a three wide graphic element that we're able to project on." |
Dynamax Delivers editorial
"Clear channel set up 42 computers throughout Oslo airport, each connected to a Matrox TripleHead2Go Graphics eXpansion Module outputting to three 40" monitors. An external box, the TripleHead2Go was simple to install and allowed the total number of computer systems required for this project to be reduced." |
|
"I'm a big fan of multiple monitors. I find it so much more productive to have applications open on their own screens rather than constantly bringing a new program to the foreground. While most laptops and workstation-class graphics cards now support two displays right out of the box, if you want to go even wider, the Matrox TripleHead2Go is an elegant and very affordable solution."

"This is breath taking and makes you feel as if you are really sitting inside the vehicle - taking advantage of immersing totally." (Translated from Italian)
|
 |
| "Actually also widescreen support is provided now and finally all owners of such displays now have the possibility to enjoy the extraordinary experience this product is able to give." (Translated from Italian) |

tech Power Up! rating: 9.1/10
tech Power Up! Editor's Choice Award
"For this review I moved from a single 24 inch monitor with a native resolution of 1920 x 1200 to three 22 inch displays, resulting in the maximum 5040 x 1050 pixel desktop area. Using the three units makes working with images so much easier." |
 |
| "Matrox GXMs—namely the DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go product lines—harness the power of a graphics processing unit (GPU) inside a laptop or PC enabling CAD professionals to run CAD applications on up to three external monitors—with full hardware acceleration on each display." |
|
"...I felt like I had been missing so much from flying with one monitor. It's like the very first breath of air after being under water for a long time. Its one of those feelings like you never knew what you were missing until you experienced it. I don't think I would want to be without this product again."
|
|
"The TripleHead2Go Digital Edition works great, especially for those in the mechanical CAD, 3D visualization, and digital content creation & animation business. The device enables users to examine multiple views of a design or project."
|
|
"We would have to say with strategy titles and flight simulators, there is a tactical advantage in seeing more and being able to process more information."
|
|
"[...] The three screens definitely give a better feel in gaming, thanks to the surround display experience."
|
|
"Sturdy as a rock and built for travel (thus, the 2Go), the TripleHead2Go [Digital Edition] is a great solution for anyone constantly on the run and with equally-sized monitors to spare at all locations."
|
|
"Matrox has been making ripples in the enthusiast sector with their multiple monitor "Graphics Expansion Modules", [...]. With the flight and racing simulator guys singing the praises of these GXM products, the TripleHead2Go digital edition is a product worth getting excited over."
|
|
"That's a lot of eye candy, and if you're into flight simulators, hang on to your 'chutes, because you're really going to be blown away by being able to glance left and right as if you were looking out port and starboard windows."
|
|
"The usability and productivity advantages of dual-monitor desktop setups are well-known; simply having more screen real estate means you can display larger, longer timelines, or show a more detailed clip bin information area, or have more than one program's windows wide open."
|
|
| "Setup and connection of the new three-display-configuration including driver installation takes less than 15 minutes. [...] Price/performance ratio fits here to 100% - which effect else do we get in the area of flight simulation for a tiny 3-digit-amount with such visual impact?" (Translated from German). |
|
| "A lot of users are limited by the screen size of their notebook. They want more space, or more overview on several programs at the same time. All this is possible with the TripleHead2Go from Matrox." (Translated from German). Read the entire review on page 50 of the 1-2/2008 print issue of "NOTEBOOK, ORGANIZER & HANDY" (Germany).
|
"Multi-tasking at its best is possible with the TripleHead2Go module from Matrox."
|
|
| "Breathtaking, when your image area is suddenly three times bigger than before. [...] Who ever tried this once and got used to it never wants to go back to a single monitor. [...] Perfect!" (Translated from German).
|
|
| "One of the big problems with notebooks is the limitation on displays — you can use the one that's in the notebook itself, and maybe the external port, but that's it. Matrox's TripleHead2Go gets around the limitation by turning that one external port into a triple-wide display." Review aired on 19/12/07 on "The Lab with Leo Laporte".
|
|
| "Intrigued by the possibilities, I have been testing the digital TripleHead2Go, and have been stunned by the image quality, and desktop space this has added to my laptop. [...] The difference this has made to my work flow, both for studio and office work, is massive, and most importantly, my eyes are much happier. [...] The GXMs are also suitable for VJs who want to drive three beamers with one larger than life picture guaranteed to stun even the most hardened party goer." |
|
| "From the moment I fired up my Analogue TripleHead2Go, I have been in gaming bliss, and nothing about the Digital TripleHead2Go changed that. Going back to a single screen is immensely disappointing you cant see as much, you dont feel like youre going as fast, you are not as immersed in the game. This applies to flight sims, racing sims, tactical shooters, whatever. Triplehead makes a game much better." |
|
| "It's pretty amazing, I must say, to have my Web browser and email apps on one screen, and my Adobe After Effects comp window on another, and the rest of my After Effects application on the third. Pretty sweet!"
|
|
| "All in all: If you want a multidisplay solution for your laptop, and your graphics controller can handle the resolutions, or is listed by Matrox as compatible, this is a very good solution right now." (Translated from Norwegian). Read the entire review on page 82 in the 12/2007 print issue of "PC World Norway".

| "Overall, TripleHead2Go is something I would definitely consider getting for my laptop if Santa Claus were to drop 2 or 3 LCD monitors at my doorstep this Christmas."
|
|
| Kudos to Matrox for taking one sweet gamer eye-candy upgrade [TripleHead2Go Digital Edition] and kicking it up not just one, but a few notches." |
|
|
|
"In the past, multiple monitors were the province of Emergency Operations Centers, intelligence agencies, traffic controllers or those dealing with lots of imagery. With the TripleHead2Go, you can be in the ‘big leagues’ too. Once you use a multi-monitor set-up, the applications are endless and it is difficult to go back to just one monitor." |
|

Matrox multi-display graphics solutions deliver targeted, noticeable and powerful customer communications in malls and other retail applications that include PoS, kiosks, self-service check-out and more." |
|
"If you've been waiting to jump into Surround Gaming, there is no reason to wait any longer. If you are an existing DTH2Go [TripleHead2Go Digital Edition] user, do yourself a favor and grab three new widescreen monitors, and throw your old ones on eBay."
|
|
"[TripleHead2Go] provides support for several monitors (up to three monitors) from a single laptop or desktop computer. The connection goes directly from the TripleHead2Go Digital to your computer's monitor output. Your work station therefore offers you an enlarged graphic display allowing you to obtain a panoramic view" (Translated from French).
|
|
| "It's all about being able to glance at what you want rather than shuffle the screen layers- with the four screens in place, productivity began to increase and after a few more days, the incidence of going off to another application to get something and forgetting all about what I was doing in the first place began to decrease."

"A 30-inch-TFT is too expensive for you? Then expand the image onto three low priced 17- or 19-inch-displays with TripleHead2Go."
(Translated from German). Read the entire review on page 33 of the 10/2007 print issue of ""PC Games Hardware" (Germany)." |

"Things had their place again, just like my old strata-geographic filing system did on my paper-covered desk of a few decades ago. I had some idea of where things were again - I had a spatial awareness of the information that threatens to overwhelm me at any given time, and if the desktop analogy really is relevant (it is), I had a big desk again, and a place for everything."
|
"After reading about the TripleHead2Go [Digital Edition] I was impressed, after looking at it in real life I was even more impressed, and then I played around with it... it's no toy that's for sure."
|
"This level of immersion [with TripleHead2Go Digital Edition] is something that cannot truly be expressed in words; it is something that must be experienced firsthand. When the game surrounds you it feels more like you are actually there, the gameplay experience is phenomenal."
|
 |
"The adapter generates very good VGA-signals ... [and] is for notebook-users the only possibility to connect three displays" (Translated from German). Read the entire review on page 60 of the 18/2007 print issue of "c't" (Germany).

"Very good" award (5 stars of 5)
"The effect in games is overwhelming: the panorama of over one meter width and with 3.840 x 1.024 pixels is as one standing right in the middle of the game itself." (Translated from German). Read the entire review of "Prad.de" (Germany) online
|
"In addition to the additional desktop productivity you'll receive, the unit [TripleHead2Go Digital Edition] also allows for extreme widescreen gaming with digital displays. If your video card is powerful enough, then this feature alone is so jaw-droppingly awesome that you'll replay all of your old favorites for the new experience."
|
"Having spent a fair amount of time flightsimming with the Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition I really can say nothing but good things about it. I found that having three times the viewing area significantly improved my enjoyment of the sim and made manuevering much easier."
|
"HARTWARE TOP-PRODUCT" award
"The TripleHead2Go opens up not only at work but also with games a new dimension." "The enormous space on the desktop and the panorama feeling with games are more than impressive." (Translated from German). Read the entire review of "Hartware.net" (Germany) online
|
"Matrox should be congratulated on the TripleHead2Go Digital Edition. It improves on the analogue version in several key ways, adding DVI for a sharper image, more convenient USB power, and Bezel Management to really improve realism in games."
|
"I've seen other versions of multi-screen set-ups, especially for flight simming, but most of these required multiple monitors as well as multiple PC's. With the price of good monitors dropping on a monthly basis, picking up a digital TH2G for just over $300 is a good investment, in my opinion." |
"After playing an hour of F.E.A.R., I was suitably chilled by the experience of being able to see so much more of the game. [...]. I've spent many hours playing this game on a 30" screen and I have to say I think I enjoyed playing the game more on the Matrox TripleHead2Go [Digital Edition] with three 19" screens than I ever have before and, although you don't have the same number of pixels in height, the increased FOV makes for a superb experience."
|
"The bottom line on all of this is we are going to be able to do more by seeing more for not a lot of money. The unit [TripleHead2Go Digital Edition] sells for a mere $329 and should be available by the time you read this."
|
"The operation with a desktop-computer ... and three displays succeed without any problems." (Translated from German). Read the entire review on page 8 of the 06/2007 print issue of "HARDWARELUXX printed" (Germany).

"See how to exhaust a system: on the first output per TripleHead2Go two 24" monitors and on the second output per HDMI a LCD-TV for preview." (Translated from German). Read the entire review on page 44 of the 05/2007 print issue of "VIDEO KAMERA objektiv" (Germany).
|
|
| "In closing I can safely say that if you would like to have a more realistic image, have a few monitors to spare and don't mind the few disadvantages such as losing 2D panels (or resizing them), and don't want to tinker with other software or buy extra graphics cards, then the Matrox TripleHead2Go [Digital Edition] is the solution for you!!! I love it!"
|
|
| "In summary: the TripleHead2Go Digital Edition is a very expedient accessory for every ambitious simulation pilot" (Translated from German). Read the entire review on page 62 of the 10/2007 print issue of "FlightXPress" (Germany). |
