    I really need a solution for dual monitors. I work on 3D stuff and too many applications to only use one external monitor.

    I bought a DualHead2Go from Matrox and the display seems really fuzzy. I finally got it working on 2 externals after an hour of messing around with the settings, but it's not clear. I will call their tech support but I don't know if there's anything they can do. It's going from DVI to VGA and back out to DVIs. Why is the input on the Matrox a VGA in the first place?

    Anyway, I don't think I have the solution I'm going for. Could I get a HDMI in monitor and use that along with the DVI and them work separately? Could I get an adapter instead of getting a new monitor to do HDMI to my DVI monitor?

    There is a new version of the matrox with dvi - either the DualHead2GO DP edition, or the TripleHead2GO Digital or DP editions have DVI input. The DP editions will need DVI -> Displayport adapters though.
