    No HDMI, but it does have DVI. So you won't get the embedded audio.

    You can get DVI to HDMI adapters, no audio but still a digital feed.

    Yes it has vga also.

    Yes, but most new Flatscreen Monitors take DVI. So you're covered both ways.

    Is there a hack/way to get 2 DVI ports out of the m9750?

    I have two 19" monitors of the same make and model to do web design amongs other things and the color saturation/contrast isnt the same.
    I had tried callibrating the monitors with the built in controls and via de nvidia control panel,Adjust desktop color settings, but each time I reboot the computer, I have to reaply the settings, as the doesnt stick.

    Ive tryed different driver version, even a reformat. I have vista/xp dual boot setup, both same issue.

    I think the best solution would be to have two DVI ports. A DVI->VGA converter doesnt works as the DVI port on the m9750 is digital only.
    The other solution would be to get a matrox dualhead2go, but its rather expensive.

    i think he means that you will get the video but not any audio with the converter, since hdmi port provides both audio and video output through the same cable.

    i dont have a lot of experience with dvi since i never hooked it up to any monitor or tv so i wouldnt be able to say much but i THINK you will have to use the speakers in your laptop for sound. there might be a solution but im unaware of that.

    The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video interface standard designed to maximize the visual quality of digital display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. It is designed for carrying uncompressed digital video data to a display. It is partially compatible with the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard in digital mode (DVI-D).

    It can't carry sound.

    what so the DVI to HMDI converter would be pointless, whats the point of having it then, whats the point in having picture without sound.

    One example would be : you want to hookup up your laptop(dvi output) with your tv (hdmi input). You could still hook up the sound of your laptop to an independent amplifier which is hooked up to your home cinema's surround sound.
