| Dual external monitors with laptop -- how? Hi, I'm switching computers from my desktop to a laptop as my primary computer at work. I have two flat panel 17" monitors that I use now and would like to continue to use with the laptop. Obviously the video card we installed in the desktop to accommodate the dual monitors won't work for the laptop, so I'm trying to find options. Does anyone have their laptop set up to use dual flat panel monitors? If so, what hardware/software are you using? Someone suggested this, but I thought I'd try to get others' opinions before I purchase anything: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/offhome/dh2go/home.cfm The laptop is a Lenovo ThinkPad T60 running Windows XP Professional. Thanks! |

| Re: Dual external monitors with laptop -- how? "Flat panel monitors" is irrelevant. The question is, what are the interfaces, VGA or DVI. Relatively few laptops have DVI interfaces (and when they do, it's often only via a docking station). Further, while many laptops support dual monitors, one of the dual monitors is always the internal LCD display. I don't know of any that will let you use two external displays (interface not withstanding).
