[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 956225, member: 131855"] I recently had two screens connected to my 15" 2008 Mac Book Pro. It can't be done "out of the box" as far as I know. I was using a display adapter purchased from OWC to accomplish this. I tested it for about a month and it worked well. It does not fully support Open GL hardware acceleration so some features will not work fully in programs like iPhoto that rely on Open GL. It handles up to 1600x1200 resolution so I am not sure how well it would work with the monitors you linked to. Here's my review In the included picture I had the device attached to a 17" monitor when I took the screenshot simply because that's what I had available for the second screen. Tjere are several other products that provide similar functionality based upon this technology such as those found at the [url=http://www.displaylink.com/shop/index.php?product=5]DisplayLink Store[/url] Some appear to support higher resolutions but check the specs carefully not all of them list Mac compatibility.
