End result: me saying you know, I’ll spend the extra $5 to $10 I was going to save just to get the heck out of the store.) But then, a third customer service person was enlisted to try and fix the mess the second person was making in trying to override the system. That’s not true - it’s the rebate that’s limited to one per household. All along, he kept telling me I could have the $65 price only on one, as these were currently only one to a customer. Then a second person was enlisted to override the system. Asking why caused the clerk to take me on a hike across the store to see the price marked on the shelf. But due to the unique nature of Fry’s, that $65 price didn’t ring up on the register. Plus, the price is actually $65 each at Fry’s right now, so that’s $55 with rebate. Fry’s also currently has a $10 rebate going on, making them $60, if you believe rebates ever work. (I must also include this Fry’s digression, for Fry’s fans.
So I purchased two of them – $70 each, $140 total versus $340 for the Matrox box. The box said it worked with Macs and could drive the resolutions I wanted. My solution was to go with a Diamond BVU195 USB-DVI adapter. I knew there were some solutions for the MacBook, because I’d explored some options early on, as outlined in my Multiple Monitor Solutions For The MacBook Pro post. I’ve missed my three monitor setup and have even pondered leaving the Mac entirely to get back to it.

I’d usually use it for running my Windows XP installation on my MacBook “up above” with my Mac programs (usually just Firefox) running “down below.” My Mac & Windows Under VMware – Awesome! post has more about this. My external monitor was a big Dell 24″ widescreen running at 1920×1200 resolution. When I made the leap to a MacBook, I had only one external display port - so I could only run one external monitor. My My Multimonitor Setup: Three Screens For One Computer post explains how I used to run three monitors from my Windows XP desktop. After nearly two years of leaving my desktop and a 3 monitor setup behind, I’m back to 3 monitors + 1, four screens in total, all running from my MacBook Pro.
