  • Dual Monitors on a Macbook Pro

    Posted by Brett Triantafillou on June 28, 2011 at 2:51 pm

    Ok so I just bought a Macbook Pro 15 inch. I want to be able to connect my macbook to my two monitors which are (1) 22in. Spectre DVI monitor, (1) 22in. Acer VGA monitor (I have the converter from VGA to DVI for the Acer). I have been looking at the DualHead2Go system but I have seen some not so good reviews I was wondering if anyone had a better solution to this. I know I am not the only video editor that needs 2 monitors for his Macbook Pro.

    Nope – thats the only thing you can really do today. They also make a tri-head display.

    Hopefully thunderbolt will reach it’s potential this year and open up a third screen.

    Best,
