    Does anyone have experience with hooking up two Monitors using HDMI on both monitors? My experience so far is that it cannot be done on this model of Toughbook. I can hook one up VGA and the other up as HDMI and it will work in extended mode, but not both HDMI.

    Can I use an HDMI splitter? Any experience using HDMI to USB?

    I think that is the nature of HDMI. It gets both audio and video out. I know there are purely digital outputs that allow daisy chaining and such. A splitter should allow you to have the same display replicated twice over two monitors but if you want it to extend to both monitors you would probably need additional hardware such as this http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/digital/
