See more. Do more. Be more productive.
Increase your productivity with Matrox DualHead2Go; a cost-effective, dual monitor upgrade. Using patent pending technology, this palm-sized box harnesses the power of the graphics card in your system and is capable of adding multi-monitor support to compatible notebook and desktop computers. DualHead2Go is simple to install as it connects to the existing single monitor output (i.e. external VGA output) of a computer.


A single display workspace physically limits the amount of information that you can see. Constantly having to open and close application windows can be cumbersome and time consuming, thereby making it more difficult to multi-task and reducing effectiveness. With the adoption of a dual-display workspace, the work process is streamlined and management of multiple documents is simplified because a workspace is now double in size. A document can be expanded across two displays or each display can be used to view different information: You can surf the internet on one display and write email on the second, or view photo albums and zoomed photos at the same time. You can see more, do more, be more productive. The included Matrox PowerDesk software seamlessly manages window positioning and message pop-ups.

Perfect for the office, mobile workstation, home or on the go!

Run your Windows desktop at up to 2560 x 1024 resolution in 16.7M colors at 60Hz stretched across two displays (1280 x 1024 per display).*   Increase your productivity.

Harness the full graphics rendering power of your existing notebook or desktop graphics solution. This includes the full video and 3D capabilities of your embedded graphics solution.*   DualHead2Go leverages the native power of the existing graphics hardware in your machine.

Upgrade Intel integrated graphics on a desktop PC to DualHead without opening the PC.   You don't have to 'crack the case' to install a graphics add-in-board for upgrading to multi-display. Furthermore, many PCs do not come with an available high performance graphics upgrade bus. Matrox PowerDesk software seamlessly manages window positioning and message pop-up. *   Experience all of the benefits of a DualHead desktop. Put different applications on each display.

Unlike installing a new graphics card, DualHead2Go doesn't require opening your computer, inserting parts into it, or replacing any hardware or software. Setup is a easy as 1, 2, 3. Once the software is installed, it's basically just a matter of connecting your monitors. All mode setting is available through Display Properties -> Settings.

Compatibility DualHead2Go is compatible with a wide range of laptop models, as well as many professional and enthusiast class desktop PCs equipped with certain Intel®, NVIDIA® and ATI® enabled graphics chipsets or NVIDIA® and ATI® add-in-boards. A complete list of known compatible systems is available and will be regularly updated to reflect new system support. An easy way to check if your system is supported is to simply run the Matrox DualHead2Go System Compatibility Tool available for free, prior to purchase.
