MacBook – Dual monitor setup macbook 13” pro retina

dual-screenhardwaremacbook pro

13'' macbook pro retina.

I want to connect two monitors that display different desktops (not the same desktop in stretch). At the moment I am using both the available thunderbolt ports (1 for a monitor and 1 for an ethernet cable). Thus at the moment I have only 1 hdmi, and 2 sub entries available to connect the additional monitor which has vga out.

How can you recommend setting up this dual monitor setup?

Connect the display and deactivate mirroring in system preferences. To connect the display user any of your free ports (HDMI or Thunderbolt) with an adapter do VGA. If your first screen has Thunderbolt, you can daisy-chain an adapter through the display.
