Dual Displays on Macbook Pro Mini-Display port?

You will need a Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition or TripleHead2Go DP Edition, depending on the native resolution of your monitors. More info here:

Hello,
I can't believe a matrox solution is the only way to go here. The stuff costs and arm and a leg. C'mon Apple, is this it?
Anyone have any other joy with a dual external display off a macbookpro 2011? (i.e. only one mini display port

Thanks in advance

There are other solutions available, you can use Google to research them and find one that meets your approval.

You're certainly free to run external displays off USB video adapters if you can live with their slowness, but as far as I know, Matrox offers the only way to run two or three displays off a mini-Displayport at full speed.

I just purchased the Matrox Dual Head 2go DP edition, and I was just informed that the product is still undergoing testing for the Thunderbolt port. I do not recommend purchasing the product until testing is verified.

I called Matrox Friday 3/21 and they said they are still testing. I purchased the Triton SEE2 extreme uv200... and their software will not work either.

Curious have anyone has figured a way to run two external monitors yet?

You can use any of the USB solutions such as the Diamond BVU195, which is available for $75 and is fine for anything other than gaming or video playback.
It works very well for spreadsheets, word processing and productivity, you can control exactly what is on each monitor and you can hook up two and go to 4 screens!

I'm hoping thuderbolt versions will appear that will be faster and allow us to have multiple monitors at full speed!
