    Hi,

    I got a m1330, which i currently have running in a setup with my 24" Samsung as primary screen and the laptop screen serving as secondary monitor.

    Would it be possible to run 2 x 24" screen on the m1330? (2 x 1920x1200) I currently use the HDMI connection of the laptop.

    for the second one, you'd have to use the VGA port. Also, you computer will be extremely slow if you run 2 monitors given your limited graphics capability.

    Courtesy of a brand new technology displayed at this years CES, you could run upto six extra screens on that little M1330 upto a maximum resolution of 1600x1200 (each) over USB quite comfortably. See the videos demonstrating this shiny new wizardry here.

    It's truly mind-blowing how well it appears to work. I'm keen to check it out for myself.
