    Hi guys,

    If anyone could help me out with this query I'd really appreciate it.

    Is is possible to run 2 external LCD screens from the Vaio?

    I have come to a point where I would love to purchase either a Vaio TT or Z, however before I do I need to get some straight answers.

    I live in Tokyo and haven't been able to communicate effectively in Japanese to figure this out with the local Sony staff.

    What I would like to do is replace my current desktop machine with the Vaio. My desktop's video card has 2 DVI ports which are hooked into 2 19" Samsung LCD screens. In my line of work, 2 screens are pretty much essential.

    I would love to be able to hook these 2 LCD screens up to the Vaio when I am at the office. I was hoping if I used the HDMI and VGA ports simultaneously that this would be possible. Perhaps through a docking station/port replicator?

    Can any current owner of a Vaio TT or Vaio Z help me with this?

    Thanks in advance,
    -alex

    Connect one of your screens to VGA, one to HDMI, and Windows will get the idea.
