Dual Monitors for the Masses
Matrox, a pioneer of the easy to use dual monitor cards, has announced a new product that will make it simple to use two displays on just about any PC. The new DualHead2Go device converts a single VGA output to an image capable of being displayed on two connected monitors.
As a daily user of dual LCD's, I cannot explain how much better the multi-monitor experience is over a standard single display. One of the biggest barriers for may folks is the perceived complexity of setting such a system up. This device allows even PC's with onboard video to use twin displays. And with a laptop with VGA out, you could actually have three displays.
Of course, this isn't cheap (retail of $169, plus the cost of displays), but it is easy.
