Use two external monitor with a laptop

multiple-monitors

I will buy a new lapop (Asus 550LB-XO034D) which has a VGA and one HDMI output. Could I use my laptop with two external monitors? I want them to extend the desktop (so I dont want an duplicated, same output on both monitor)

So my question is: laptops VGA and HDMI outputs send the same signal, or they recognized and handled as two separate output by the gpu.

Best Answer

Yes, typically you can use two external monitors when you don't need to use the built in display of your laptop.

If you want to use the internal monitor as well (means total of three), you may want to use a USB-HDMI adapter (basically a simple graphic adapter connected per USB) or some of the LG's models that can be connected directly using USB. In this case, it is advisable to check whether your OS supports the USB graphic adapter.
