    Ok say I want to extend my SZ to two monitors...one itself of the SZ and the other one my HP's notebook which has the same resolution of my SZ.

    Is it possible? I only heard of it using an external monitor never with a notebook so Im not sure.

    If it can be done what wire should I get?


    Thanks in advance :p

    I would guess that it isn't possible (at least at high resolution), at low resolution there are the TV interfaces.

    I don't think that is possible unless your HP notebook has a VGA input to act like an "external" monitor. Then maybe it's possible. I suggest using a CRT or LCD monitor if you want to use dual monitors.
