I'm planning on buying three of these monitors: http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna...d52a3e500142b4 along with this monitor stand: http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna...d52a3e500142b4 and hook these monitors up to a Macbook Pro, but I'm not sure how I could connect these three monitors to the Macbook. Is there a simple solution? Or do i have to invest in something like: http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna...d52a3e500142b4 in order to achieve it? (Note: if there's a better way of achieving this setup please let me know  )Thanks again. |

I would suggest you look at the Matrox devices. I have never personally set up more than dual monitors. I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. |

What do you use for your dual monitors? Matrox DualHead2Go? |

This arrangement works quite well with the exception of the Open GL problem mentioned in the review. I am not sure if the other devices mentioned above have the same limitations.

- Nick p.s. Of course a little self-promotion there!  p.p.s. Actually..I just went to OWC...and found this product that seems to very similar to what "Slydude" referenced: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer...ogy/VIDU2DVIA/ It's a USB video adapter from NewerTech...and is on special for $64.99.  Of course you can get the original OWC product for even less: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other...ing/VIDU2DVIA/ ...it's on special for $49.99!!!

By the time I bought the unit I reviewed the price had dropped a bit from the initial $99. It looks like they have dropped even more since then. After I wrote the review (which had limited testing in a three monitor setup) I started using the three screen setup when my G5 died and left me with a spare monitor lying around.
