| 1284400 | 2012-06-28 07:41:00 | I was wondering if it's possible to run 3 (or just 2) monitors off one laptop? The setup I was wanting was running two 23" screens off one laptop and most probably not using the original laptop screen. Is this at all possible? I thought since it has a VGA and HDMI slot, it should work as long as it doesn't stress the graphics card too much right? Thanks |

| 1284404 | 2012-06-28 22:27:00 | Ive been down this track with PC's, dont get caught out, read the fine print. Some 3,4 monitor adaptors actually NEED to use "display port" natively to get the 3rd & 4th monitor. |

| 1284405 | 2012-06-28 23:12:00 | Not all laptops can drive 2 external monitors, i have some experience with this Lenovo x200 will, but HP Probooks will not! |
