I don’t see the need for two 27″ displays when you can have almost as much real estate on a single 42″ LCD, or larger, as the primary display and the MBP as your secondary, thereby avoiding the split screen issue and all the other paraphernalia.
I have been running a 2007 Samsung 42″ LCD at 1360 x 768 dpi ( and 1440 x 900 on the MBP) on my 2008 15″ MBP 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo with 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and a ATI Radeon X1600 Graphic Card. It has performed without any problems for years, and I work heavily in Photoshop and other graphic programs.
Snow Leopard set it up automatically as soon as I plugged in the Sumsung, I just had to choose from the available resolutions for each display and choose the primary display. The set up pictured above ‘looks nice’ and impressive, but ‘it doesn’t cut the cake’.

Just a quick question, though I know it’s been a while since this has been looked at I imagine, if we were to do this same setup for a user that is going to be working mostly in Windows XP virtualized via VMWare.. if he maximizes anything it’s going to span across both screens then? I was wondering if maybe there was some sort of software update since then that has since segregated the screens more.

Rex,

Did you ever figure out how to run two 27″ inch ACD’s on a MBP? Can this be done?

Interesting… followed everything mentioned on this page, bought the DualHead2Go DP, downloaded the latest Matrox firmware for mac, and purchased all recommended cables mentioned on this post to connect a pair of 24? cinema displays to a mac mini.

Any nothing happens, I just get two black screens?

Any troubleshooting tips?

Could it possibly be that I am using a mac mini instead of a mac book pro? although this should not make a difference right?, as its still a mac machine with same connectors etc

Look forward to a response : -)

Hi @all
Is there now a chance to run two 27? apple cinema displays with a macbook pro? Can somebody help? I thought of using the atlona mini display converter in combination with the diamond bvu195, but the problem is, that the max. resolution could be only set to 2048×1154 on the second screen. Any other ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I have been trying to apply your setup to a MacBook Pro and two 27″ Apple Led Displays with no luck. Matrox has responded to the issue with the following statement “Unfortunately, the 27 inch apple cinema displays will not work with our unit. The reason being is that these displays have a native resolution of 2560 by 1440 and when they are connected to our unit, the unit locks to the display’s native resolution which is beyond the capabilities of the unit. The older 23 inch or even the older 30 inch apple cinema displays will work with our unit because their supported resolution are within the limitations of our matrox box.”
The MacBook Pro should support a dual monitor environment being that it has become common place for most users.

I am having the exact same problem as Henry when using the dualhead2go with my 2×22inch dell monitors.

@Tom
buy a frickin’ USB Hub – lese then 50 bucks and you just have one cable to plug into your Mac
