Matrox Triple-Head-2-Go buying advice
-
Hi all,
I'm looking at buying one of the triple head splitters and according to the comparison tool, I am good to go on any of the models but I can't tell the difference between them all based on the website info.Can anyone recommend a best choice for me or give me some guidance?Cheers -
At the moment the best choice is the "digital ME edition", input with a DP plug (mini DP to DP is included) and 2 or 3 DVI outputs (with easy HDMI conversion, I don't know for VGA).
It's the only way to have 2 or 3 full HD output.I just buyer 2 dualHead digital ME to output 4 720p from a basic mac Mini, it works perfectly well.Hope that helps, Jacques -
Hi Jacques,
Thanks for this
I'm looking at the triple head one though which doesn't do an ME edition, it has Digital, Digital SE and DP Edition, do you have any experience of these?@Mark Do you have any recommendations?Cheers -
Hi,
I use a Matrox TripleHead2Go DP Edition with my MacBookPro. (Input DP->MiniDP included)
Running OSX 10.9, using either 3 DP->VGA or 3 DP->HDMI StarTech adaptaters (sold separately).
I didn't tried to mix HDMI and VGA outputs for the moment but it should work.Best

I'm afraid I don't. I've still got the old analog TH2Go, and I need to update too.Best Wishes,Mark -
I have the Triple Head DP via thunderbolt: I have 6 adapters: 3 to VGA and 3 to DVI both work
-
I've only used the DVI version (with VGA adaptors)....
but I am interested in the miniDisplayPort (via my pc thunderbolt connection)... wish I could test it first. -
As best as I can tell, the DP edition will run full HD res on all three outputs, whereas the SE requires dual-link DVI input to do so. Am in the same boat here, but it's cheaper to buy an active dual-link DVI to DP adapter and continue using the old one.

I have the Triple DP edition running off my 17 inch MBP. I have two sets of adaptors: one for VGA and one set for HDMI. Works very well for me.
