Let’s say for argument’s sake you want to add two external monitors to a computer that has only one video port. You need a way to connect via another port, such as a USB port. You would need something like the ViBook.

The first time I ever plugged a second monitor into my system, it was interesting. Of course, issues arose… as is usually the case with anything new. Having two monitors in many cases is better than one. I had an email the other day, asking me if I would suggest using one large monitor… or two smaller ones.

Multiple Monitor Madness

I’m so in love with Stefan Didak’s desktop. I can’t even think of what I’d do with that much desktop real estate (or how I’d pay the monthly electric bill to support that many screens).
