    If you are referring to extended desktop, yes. It will not support two externals though if that is what you are saying, just one.

    Hi, I meant not the mirroring of the Laptop LCD. I am doing Photography, so The Macpro LCd is not that reliable I need to put an external monitor and get the feed direct.
