Dual Monitors for a Laptop with one VGA Port?

Zack Roder · Jun 3, 2013

I have a Toshiba Satellite C655 and I have two monitors I want hook up to it and one has DVI-D and VGA, and the other is only VGA. The problem is though, my laptop only has one VGA, no DVI, no HDMI, just one VGA port. Is there anyway I could hook up these two monitors and be able to extend them and get good resolutions and framerates and no ghosting? (even when gaming)

No, you would get a display splitter if you wanted each display to be a clone of the other. but not extended desktop.

there are external USB video cards available, they are quite limited in their ability, no gaming. just good for windows & 2d stuff.

even if you computer did have dual ports, your system would seriously struggle with playing games across multi screens as it's only got a Celeron and intel 4500m onboard graphics.

HugoStiglitz :

Actually I have an i3 but thanks for the help. I got an old desktop that I guess Ill install Ubuntu on and hook up the monitors to.

Playing games on a laptop across three monitors?

I hope the $400 - $500 laptop somehow includes two nVidia GT 780m in SLI which probably costs $500 - $600 each.

sorry the first spec result showed a Celeron.

the i3 version doesn't seem to have a dedicated card either tho. so even with the i3 its not going to handle multi monitor gaming.

Sorry.
