Laptop Screen + 2 Add on Monitors = 3 screens?
 

Hey guys

I just received a new Dell Latitude E6410 laptop and my question is:

What do I need to buy to achieve this setup: Laptop screen + 2 external monitors to get 3 screens running?

Is there something out there like a Docking station, video card, or a usb driver? Does anybody have a 3 screen setup using a laptop?

Thanks

If I am correct basic video cards only allow dual video out put.. So your laptop only allows 2 screen the LCD and an additional external monitor. So you will need an external videocard with dual outputs to get this going... I might be wrong as I know dual videocards work for desktops but dunno about notebooks.

You will need to buy a USB display adaptor.

On my Thinkpad dock I could only use 2 external monitors. With two externals it would force the laptop monitor off.

This.

he needs one of these $500 adaptors

Get this:

I run one on my T60 + dock = 3 monitors. My friend said he ran 2 adapters off his laptop + standard VGA connection = 4 monitors. Running 4 might depend on your GPU though.

Don't need any of those fancy gadgets.

Your laptop has VGA out, just use this:

wouldn't that give you cloned desktops instead of extended and different ones?

The onboard video won't drive 3 displays.

He didn't say he need extended.

lol. he didn't say he wanted cloned? and someone already pointed out it won't drive 3 screens.

Yes 3 screens extended.

I will look into the usb display adapters. Thanks everyone!
