March 22, 201114 yr So I can have dual 23" screens on my Laptop ie One of these : DIAMOND BVU195 USB Display Adapter (DVI and VGA with included DVI to VGA adapter)|GearByDiamond Phuket would be handy but I'll be in Bangkok next week but don't fancy the idea of walking round 100 stores in Panthip Plaza... TVM Cheers Sleesy
March 23, 201114 yr Not seen these in Thailand, at least not in the mainstream stores A thought, does your lappie have VGA and HDMI? If it does chances are good that you'll be able to run two monitors anyway with no extra hardware Even if it doesn't adding one USB-VGA will give you 3 monitors (including the laptop screen) for extra real-estate. "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"
March 23, 201114 yr Author Yup my Laptop has HDMI and VGA but I've read online they cannot be used simultaneously although my go try it on the weekend. Sorry what do you mean by USB-VGA, are you talking straight cable or adapter ...and either way where can I buy one ! Thanks....
