Indeed several years ago Matrox used to the brand of choice for high 
end 2D display functions. As such it was a major brand at the time. 
However, they have had difficulties to keep up with ATI and NVidia that 
indeed focus on 3D, but now offer a very good 2D function as well. The 
Matrox Parhelia cards are still a very good choice if you want to hook 
up three displays next to one another.

Otherwise I would consider them too expensive and rather go for a 
midrange (or perhaps even on the lower end) 3D card.
