    Here is a printscreen (size reduced to 30%) of four extended displays on the M11X R3 :D .

    Display 1: 720p laptop display
    Display 2: 1080p on WIDI (netgear P2TV2000) driver v3.1.29.0
    Display 3: 1080p on Displayport
    Display 4: 1080p on HDMI

    there is one problem and its only with the WIDI display, you can't see the mouse cursor on that display.



    also played with watching a HD video stretched across the four screens and it plays smooth except some slow framerates in action scenes

    Nice as, man.
    Lets add some of these to boot Amazon.com: Toshiba 14-inch USB Ultra-portable Mobile LCD Monitor: Computers & Accessories and then you can add another 3 displays!!!... But I doubt the graphics card could handle all that... lol.

    I plan to get one of these to lug around for class. I'm so used to dual display at home it's just so weird having 1 display when working in PS/AE/Maya.

    Really nice to know you can have that many displays though.
    How does multiple programs go on all the screens?

    yeah its pretty cool that this is possible. I haven't played around much with that setup (just experimenting) but it can handle 3x1080p screens fine. the WiDi screen has the inherent lag and invisible mouse problem so that screen would be limited to static programs, gadgets or info viewing.

    Just an update, the widi issue with no mouse cursor has been fixed with the widi software update. one of the wired monitors is running 1200p in portrait mode no problem.
