Tony,

I read something on a Microsoft website regarding dual monitors for an extended desktop. My questions takes that one step further, and I was wondering if you could help me.

I have two external monitors connected to the port replicator of my Dell 600M laptop. I have the laptop screen open, so in theory, I would like to use the laptop as the main screen, and one monitor on each side (3 total monitors). Right now I am only able to have 1 monitor plugged into the port replicator. Is there some sort of splitter that I could use to extend the desktop onto 3 screens?

Thank you so much for your time.

My answer:

Hi, Jonathan. As I recall, the Dell 600Ms don’t take a real docking station. So, your only option for more than one external monitor is a USB video adapter, like the one I described here.
