If I have trouble concentrating on a 30-inch panoramic monitor, I can’t imagine myself in front of the eight monitors the single-slot Matrox M9188 PCIe x16 graphics card can drive, each at 2560×1600 pixels. More »
In the battle for video card domination, dark horse Matrox never seemed to even come close to keeping up with Nvidia and ATI’s crazy GPU arms race. But after fading almost completely from the gadgetsphere, the company has suddenly returned with the launch of five new graphics cards under its “M-Series” line. The M-Series targets the multi-display market and consists of two low-profile PCIe cards and three standard formate ATX PCIe cards.
Here’s a little widget from Matrox that tricks PCs and Macs into thinking they’re outputting video to just one monitor, but DualHead2Go feeds that signal to two monitors with resolutions up to 1920×1200 each depending on your system’s graphics capability. What’s really new is the ability to take that VGA output from your notebook or desktop computer and turn it into two DVI outputs, each feeding its own digital display on the other side.
You can even have three monitors if you also use the screen on your laptop. Plus, it’ll give your desktop machine dual DVI monitor capability even if has just a VGA output. Take a look at the gallery below to see how small this palm-sized dongle is. Shipping this month, just add a couple of displays and it’ll satisfy that dual-monitor jones of yours for a mere $229. – Charlie White
