Additional Displays

[limnos]

Okay, so I decided to test it out with the adapter that came with my MBP and it works perfectly with my old HP LCD monitor!

Let's say I'd like to connect an additional second screen, where would I connect it to? Would I need an adapter that splits into 2 VGA inputs?

by default, its not possible. There are however VGA 'splitter' type of devices that allow you to connect multiple monitors to a display port, so I dont see any reason why a DVI compatible one wouldn't work (say a DVI to 2 x VGA splitter, as the MBP has a DVI port). From what I have always heard, its not the best solution, rather stick to one external and if its too small, the 30" cinema display is always an option

Check this out, you can add extra displays by USB cable.

I don't see any mention of Mac compatibility though. In fact, I see mention of an "icon in my system tray" - I've never been a fan of hardware that requires a system tray application to work.
