Matrox DualHead2Go
Regarding my previous post “Ideal Workspace“, I said that I wish to connect multiple monitors to my Apple iBook notebook. I was wondering how that could be done. I have some clues now. I need a Matrox DualHead2Go.


Matrox DualHead2Go is an external palm-sized box which takes single monitor display output from your computer and expands it into dual display outputs.

With Matrox DualHead2Go, I could have THREE displays at a time (iBook monitor + 2 external monitors)!

How much?

The listed price of Matrox DualHead2Go is USD $207.99(~MYR $761). Also, Dell LCD monitors are quite cheap now. A 17″ LCD monitor is only MYR $699! It is about MYR $200 cheaper compared to the time when I bought mine.

Support Macs?

Though Matrox website says that DualHead2Go supports Windows only, but there were people who successfully installed DualHead2Go with Apple PowerBook.

My two cents

I am excited to know about Matrox DualHead2Go! It makes connecting multiple monitors to notebook as easy as 1-2-3.

Ok, I am crazy about big workspace. :P If you are crazier than me on bigger workspace, the TripleHead2Go is for you. It allows you to connect THREE external monitors from a single video output!

Now, the question is “Where to buy Matrox DualHead2Go in Malaysia?” I can’t find Malaysia official distributor on Matrox’s website.

    this is because laptop comes with a monitor port....adding a monitor into the port and selecting it from your laptop graphic setting will do the job
