I would like my next hardware setup to consist of: -one laptop -2 external 22 inch screens have one of You managed to attach 2 external monitors to your laptop? regards
check the matrox product. been around longer, larger company also. depending on your video chip, you can run 3 externals, plus your laptop screen. A desktop is cheaper though, and moving around 3 screens is already a bitch.
Thanks your feedback helped me to refine: could you name me a laptop brand/type that is sold ready to handle 2 external monitors. I dont need external devices like matrox. Just a laptop that is build according to my requirements in this respect
don't know of any off hand, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Nvidia makes cards that can run 2 very high resolution screens (2560 X 1600) for the desktops. Meaning you can rub two 30' screens from one card. for laptops, take a look at alienware, or maybe just look at the Nvidia website to see if they make a dual out card for laptops.
Never heard of a laptop which would run 2 external monitors. There is also a dualhead monitor, PCMCIA card... if you have a slot for that.
now i'm not sure about this, but i think you could get a laptop that has a DVI port and attach a DVI to dual VGA splitter and then run two monitors off of that... it should work, but you'd have to look up the specifics
I've got a Dell Latitude D820, it's capable of running 2 monitors. I think this machine's about 3 years old, although I'm not exactly sure of its age.
