| 1198989 | 2011-05-02 23:55:00 | I am finding in my day to day work that I would greatly benefit from a third screen. What is the easiest way to hook a laptop (with a basic vga connection) to three screens (Laptop +2) while making it a extended desktop not a clone? |

| 1198991 | 2011-05-03 01:59:00 | Hi mate, I have an interesting issue at present...New ultra laptop for the boss, Sony Vaio, latest SB model.....we wish to drive 2 x 16x10 external LCD, from docking station....both Laptop GPUs have resolution capabilities for matrox dualhead, however their is apparently some earthing interference on this model, so I get blurry horizontal line on the lcd... We are obviously taking the unit back, and now have to start looking again!.. Anyway, 2 x external LCDs, you could use $380 matrox dualhead to go, however the laptop gpu needs to be capable of the end res, they have testing tool, or you could use a USB adapter like i do... Have dual head card driving 2 x 16x10 and usb adapter for 17 inch lcd |

| 1198993 | 2011-05-03 02:10:00 | Have to be the USB adapters then, $125, but make sure to get a DVI output if you want 19x12 resolution | SolMiester (139) | ||
