    I was really pleased that it was easy to hook my laptop up via a hdmi cable to my new desktop monitor and the picture out of the m11xr2 is amazing - even though this isn't the best monitor available out there - it's also a TV since it's for a computer room slash guest room. Monitor/TV is a Samsung P2570HD
    Games look just great. :D

    Yeah, and running increased desktop resolution is great for productivity as well. Kinda sucks running newer games in lower resolutions on a large display though, but I didn’t go from an Asus 17” to this little guy expecting to play high resolutions.

    I went over to my parent's house and hooked up my R2 to their 50" LCD via HDMI. It was awesome. Played a bit of Splinter Cell Double Agent on it.

    So this leaves you with the REALLY REALLY pleased option by hooking up two(2) 25" HD monitors to your M11x. one via HDMI and the other via DisplayPort (with adapter if required).
    I have two Dell 24" Full-HD U2410 IPS monitors connected to mine.

    Then you just need something in panorama to display and then... double WOW!
