That’s exactly what I do. I’ve got 2 x 23inch monitors, one on the main port, one on the mini-DVI port. However, any worrys about colour from the mini-DVI (if there are any) have always been overcome by using an external video monitor (through a Decklink HD Extreme 3 card).

It all works perfectly for me…. so far.

Thank you Scott for a simple solution.

But returning to a subject brought up elsewhere, I understand it is not possible to use the new Apple LED display in the miniDVI port and then use the DVI connector for a second monitor . . . because Color doesn’t like this kind of setup. Is this correct? I remember reading that one must get the miniDVI-to-DVI adapter and use two older Apple monitors to keep Color happy.
