Is anyone using more than one external monitor with their laptop? I’ve
seen products that are a USB plug on one end, and a vga cable on the
other. Anybody tried these for having 2+ external displays?

If you are a Programmer

Get two or three 17/19 inches

  • more screen real estate
  • good for programing (one monitor for debuging, one for coding, one
    for
    any thing else including broswing)

Thanks, I found this as well, which is more expensive but does higher

I haven’t used this personally, but I’ve always wanted to try. :slight_smile:
