Guest Ed from AZ Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I don't really know where to go for this solution, so I thought I'd ask here first because I know most of you have dealt with just about everything!! I have an older Dell Latitude laptop (one external standard monitor port, no DVI). I know I can hook up one external monitor. Is there a cheap and easy way to hook up two flat screen monitors that will display the same thing? I've seen add-on boxes costing over $1400! WIll a simple splitter cable work? Ed
Guest Bob I Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Re: Prob'ly OT: Drive two monitors from laptop? A splitter will only give you two screens showing the same thing. If that is what you are after, then good.
