    Hi guys

    I have a Dell Studio with an AMD HD Radeon 545v graphics card. I have two LCD monitors that I want to connect to my laptop. I'd like 3 different displays. I don't want the two LCDs to mirror one another.

    Both LCDs only have a VGA port and these are the ports I see available on my laptop:

    1x VGA
    1x HDMI
    2x USB

    Given this configuration, is it possible for me to get my three individual displays? What piece(s) of hardware do you think I'm missing.

    Thanks in advance (obviously this does not discount a post thanks :) )

    Are you sure there are no DVI ports? Weird monitors usually has at least 1 VGA and 1 DVI.. Anyways, 1 x VGA on one monitor and use and HDMI to VGA converter if you can find one and then use VGA cable on the second monitor.. I don't know if you can use HDMI to DVI then DVI to VGA converter all at the same time for you to be able to use VGA cable on the second monitor..
