Sorry for the STUPID question but what hardware is necessary? I currently own 2 Samsung monitors (Samsung BX2031 20" LED LCD Monitor - 1600x900, 16:9, 1000:1, 5ms, VGA, DVI, Tilt) and would like to run both off of my laptop. There's obviously only ONE space on my Mac to plug in to the monitor, so I ASSUME some sort of splitter, cable, conversion box, etc is necessary to run multiple monitors from my laptop. Thanks


Does your laptop support dual external monitors ??

You have not told us what it is, so i can not tell you if its possible!A splitter seems the only way possible but that will, of course, show the same display on both external monitors.  Is that what you wanted?You can get a little adapter that connects to your USB port and provides an additional VGA or DVI port.  Just do a SEARCH for "USB to DVI adapter" or "USB to VGA adapter"  There seem to be quite a lot of them on Ebay.

They are pretty easy to FIND but you will need to ensure that the one you find is mac compatible.
