MacBook Pro = Pure Joy!!! . I'm writing this on a 15" mbpro running Lion with two dell 24" monitors hooked up via the Cirago HDX3DV01. It took me all of 2 minutes to get everything working. I also hooked up my 13" and had no problems, either. (Before you start thinking I'm some nutty mac nut, the 15" is my work machine that I'll have to return once they realize I'm incompetent... )
I have them all arranged in a T shape. The mbpro on the bottom and the two dells across the top. I selected 3840x1200 for the top "monitor" (as you have probably read in other reviews, it treats the two or three monitors plugged into the unit as one ginormous monitor) and booyah - I have a setup just like the guys at work using Windows!
I'm not a big video guy, so I can't speak to those issues, but I did quickly bring up youtube and DVD and they both looked fine on each dell. I'm a web developer and I've been spoiled by working in a windows environment for years with multiple monitors. With the mbpro, the most I could do was one external monitor. I was offered a choice of a mac or windows environment at my new gig, so I went with mac because that's the kind of guy I am. I figured I'd settle with only two monitors.
After reading reviews and specs online of all the various solutions to getting a Macbook Pro laptop running multiple screens, I finally settled on the Cirago... mainly because that's what they had at Fry's today. I got it for 140 bucks. The price runs at about that anywhere you look.
I have a really, really, really, really difficult time parting with money, even if it's not mine, so this purchase was not an easy one. I didn't want to deal with returns and the nightmare of pulling an all-nighter getting stuff set-up. Mainly, the disappointment of not having something work. I'm someone who trusts people and when a gadget sucks, it disturbs my worldview.. Who wants that? Also, I'm lazy. I'd never get around to returning the unit. SO.... none of these things occurred. I just plugged it in and it's beeyootiful!
I'll be using it at work tomorrow and if there are any horror stories, I"ll be sure to report back. Believe me.
If all goes well and I'm able to add that final, fifth star, I shall!
If you have an mbpro, GO FOR IT!!!

Cirago HDX3DV01 HydraDisplay X3 DP to 3 DVI Multimonitor Adapter Reviews
Good luck hooking it up . Be warned that the icon for Mini Displayport and Mini DVI looks the same. (box with a line on each side) however, apparently there is no way to adapt the two. This box comes with a display port and an adapter to go down to a mini displayport. It seems new mac computers use the mini displayport but I can't find any PC's that have one. I've been searching for the past hour trying to find ANY sort of adapter to hook up either of these displayport plugs. I'm wanting to hook into either a DVI or Mini DVI but the proper adapter is not jumping out at me.
All I'm saying is...make sure you can hook this thing up before you buy it. Do an image search so you can see what a Displayport, Mini Displayport, DVI and Mini DVI look like and understand that this comes with Displayport and Mini Displayport.
[EDIT]
After some research I've learned that Mini Displayport on MAC is now called Thunderbolt(?) and there are some backwards compatibility issues to consider. You might want to research this yourself. We hooked this splitter up to a Mac AirBook and it worked well. Once we figured out the proper resolution settings it did what we wanted. A new PC laptop we recently purchased also had this hookup but I've not used this splitter on a PC.

Cons Review
Not Good for 3 seprate full screens . Screen can't take 3 individual full screen images. I wanted to have three different programs at full screen I now have to run a program to help to do that.
NOT FOR MAC . I purchased this item with visions of triple 23" HD monitors (Samsung P2350's). Everything I read on this (that I was able to find) was generally positive reviews, however be advised, there is no way to have a macbook pro "see" all 3 screens. What it will do, is see 2 screens. It treats the 1st monitor as an indipendant montor that allows you to change the resolution, etc, however the 2nd and 3rd montior it treats as 1 "big" monitor and does not allow you to seperate the images across 3 independant screens. Basically you get 1 monitor running 1920 x 1080 and then the remaining 2 monitors you have to either mirror them or it streacthes the remaining 2 into 1 big stretched version with crappy resolution. I have not found a fix or work around for this and even the manuactrers web site and tech support offer no resolution.
So while I am sure that if you are running multiple video cards or even maybe XP, Vista or Windos 7, for MAC OSX this is NOT a good solution.
