Matrox announced that it had just update its TripleHead2Go and added several extra features, such as new resolution modes that support dual monitor configurations, widescreen flat panels and a higher refresh rate for CRT monitors. TripleHead2Go itself is a palm-sized box that lets users to add two or three monitors to many workstations, gaming systems and laptops, even if those systems only support a single display output. Sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it? Too bad I can’t find this product in local computer store here as I’d definitely get one.

Matrox TripleHead2Go has enabled support for extra resolutions, included wide aspect ratio resolutions of 3840×720 and 3840×768, which will allow users working with widescreen flat panels or plasma screens to use the TripleHead2Go, and take full advantage of the surround graphics experience while leveraging its unique features to enhance the usability and productivity of various applications. TripleHead support at 3072×768 resolution with 85Hz refresh rate will give users who are playing games on CRT monitors an opportunity to also enjoy a totally immersive Surround Gaming experience without compromising performance. Finally, DualHead support with a combined resolution of 2560×1024 and 3360×1050, will allow individuals to run the Matrox TripleHead2Go in dual-display configuration. If a user is more suited to working with two displays, they can now have the option to easily upgrade to three, without having to purchase a new unit—making the TripleHead2Go even more versatile.

PS: Back in 1996, my very first PC came with a Matrox graphic card. Not quite remember what’s the model name of the card, but this news surely brings back some old memories.
