The Matrox DualHead2Go Digital SE allows you to extend your desktop for hardware that has limited capabilities. This device only takes input from a DisplayPort and most hardware that features a “professional” graphics port can easily drive three monitors. I’ve seen some laptops that do have a DisplayPort plug but only feature Intel HD integrated graphics, which in many cases will not drive more than two monitors.
Desktop PC users that have a DisplayPort are probably using a professional video card such as an nvidia Quadro, which has no problem running triple monitors.
The DualHead2Go is already a niche item, and this product further limits its potential audience by requiring a PC using a DisplayPort.
The DualHead2Go Digital SE allows laptops with lower-end chipsets to increase productivity by driving up to three monitors (if you include the laptop’s display). This product is also great for presentation purposes, as you can clone your primary display on two monitors or even have a “double-wide” or “double-tall” presentation display.
The product does overcome several issues that productivity users run into when running multiple monitors. The PowerDesk software lets you set up “cells” within the virtual monitor that lets you snap application windows, and the software does a great job keeping menus and dialog boxes from getting caught between screens. Not all software behaves with PowerDesk however, such as Adobe Photoshop.
If you fit in the category of users who need this functionality, then this product is a lifesaver.

Hello..
Actually we have been purchased 10 display full HD multi touch LEC with including 4 Dualhead 2go digital SE, which 8 display connected via digital SE and 2 display connected directly to graphic card.
The issue when we group all 10 displays together, instate of resolution 9600×2160 we are getting 5760 x 2160, so then those 2 displays which are directly connected to AMD have fine resolution but those 8 displays which connected to Matorx are totally stretched.
So where is the problem?
Best Regards Daneil
I'm having trouble deciphering your broken English. Are you trying to stretch a stretched desktop? The device is limited to a maximum native desktop, and cannot be infinitely stretched. Perhaps Matrox would like to chime in?…
