@MyDebater Thanks, and thanks for subscribing!

Are there any Latency issues? I heard there is a slight delay on the monitors.

[myapplezone]

@MOSUNdigital No latency with the video. But waking from sleep takes a little bit longer than normal. I would say about 4 seconds longer than normal.

It actually comes in 3 versions:

Analog (VGA to 2/3x VGA)

Digital (VGA to 2/3x DVI)

DisplayPort Version (DP to 2/3x DP) (this one)

:)

if your computer has an hdmi and dvi port, can you plug in a dualhead2go in the dvi and use the hdmi to get 3 monitors?

i have 2 hdmi and a dvi on my video card do i still need that

I have a question. I've tried to hook the unit up to my laptop, but everytime I do it can not run on both monitors, it's one or the other, or leave the laptop out. How do I fix this? I've done exactly what it says i should. Thanks

[tkmycall]

Any thoughts on if this will work with a KVM switch? I'd like to hook up a windows laptop and a MBP to share the dual monitor arrangement.

Thanks for posting the video.

Nice video... if only you weren't a macfag...

Great video! I got almost the same setup now - it's great. Since the mac treats the two external monitors as one, working with full size windows on each screen can be difficult - a tool that helps with this problem is iSnap, which is free at the Appstore ... get it!

why u dont show how it works..... which is as important as how it is connected ?? :((

Awesome review! I am looking at upgrading my old 2008 iMac and wish to go Macbook pro, this will solve my issue for having multiple monitors! I think I may go with the Triple though! I will see. worst case I go for the dual, which looks superb anyway :) Only thing left would be a docking station for my Macbook Pro! So I won't have to plug/unplug every time I take it out.

Thanks.

So, if you have 2 outputs on your videocard, and you use 1 for the middle screen, and the other one for the DualHead2Go, will you have triple screen?

@myapplezone i have a shity 128MB built in graphics card chipset or whatever. if i set up one of these on my computer will it make the grpahics card blow up?
