					<description><![CDATA[Also, Matrox says the last generation (2008) Cinema Displays 24-inch does indeed support the 1920x1200 resolution. Apple concurs. http://support.apple.com/kb/SP502

To clarify for readers the Cinema Displays that will work nicely with the product reviewed would be two of either of these:

2008 - Apple Cinema Display - 24-inch (2x1920x1200)
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP502
2004 - 20 and 23-inch Apple Cinema Displays (2x1680x1050 {tested setup} or 2x1920x1200 in the 23-inch)
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP79
This last product uses DVI so the other GXM units referenced should support this.

This is not a guarantee by Architosh. Our understanding of the spec literature tells us these units should be supported. Inquire directly with Matrox for exact product support coverage. 

Again, for increased flexibility we recommend non Apple Displays which will give you choices in your resolution settings with the GXM units. 

Dell and Eizo (http://www.eizo.com) are good recommendations for monitors for your Macs. We hope that Apple will improve its monitor options in the future.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Amonie,
Just wanted to clarify some items related to your post. Spoke to Matrox about these issues you have raised. It is true that Apple&#039;s display scenario is extremely limiting at the moment; you can only get one monitor...the 27-inch Cinema Display. That unit is $1000 and has a max resolution of 2560x1440 (its default). If you are looking for double that resolution (5120x1440) across two of these babies boy are you ambitious! Sounds dreamy but at two grand...sounds rich for CAD? 

A better scenario and one I should have emphasized more in the review is to NOT use Apple Cinema Displays unless you have older ones like I do. Instead, a Dell UltraSharp 24-inch (U2410) with IPS technology is not only physically much larger than my twin 20-inch units but offers 1920x1200 pixels across each screen and will maximize the Matrox GXM unit reviewed. And it will do so for $800 less than buying two 27-inch Cinema Displays. Two of these units means nearly 2000 pixels for each application running off the Matrox GXM unit displays plus you still have your laptop&#039;s display for other applications.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[amonie,
Your comment(s) were merely sitting in moderation, nothing more. Busy times this month! As for your comments above, this is a really good observation and I have brought this to the attention of Matrox and am awaiting a comment on this issue. As for the Cinema Display limits mentioned in the review and max resolution? Ideally this product works best with non-Apple displays (larger than 20-inch) where resolution options are supported. Apple displays lock to just the one resolution of that display, even though you can typically scale down resolutions on Apple Cinema Displays. Do you really feel that 3840x wide is limiting coming off a laptop?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Gosh, well I&#039;ve seen the matrox advert on your site for a while and I had a look at it because on the surface it appears to be just what I need. Reading your review would have &#039;confirmed&#039; it for me.
But BUYER BEWARE. This device is a complete non-starter for me because it does not support the currently shipping apple cinema displays (27in) - not even the last generation (24in).
Matrox website: &quot;Supports a maximum resolution of 3840x1200 (2x 1920x1200); displays attached to DualHead2Go must run at the same resolution&quot;
... therefore the setup described in the review - 2x 20in displays is as good as it gets. Unfortunately Apple stopped selling those displays almost 2 years ago.
1920 x 1200 is really not that much. A 17in macbook pro can do that on its own.
The DualHead2Go unfortunately is an outdated product - not worth 4.5/5]]></description>
