    So I just moved and have a bunch of newfound space! I want to add one monitor to use with my 17, maybe two but I might just add one for now. Can it be done or link to a thread? I searched but did not find anything concrete for the 17, just want to make 100% sure before I order one. That said any recommendations for a decent monitor, maybe 20-22", might use it for gaming but for a lot of school business work. Would also be nice to have for when I stream games as well.

    Thanks everyone!

    There are many available on our main site. I guess at the end the decision goes with the one that has the most suitable specs for your needs. Now, about the dual monitor, you can use the laptop's monitor + an external one without issues.
