    2 Extended Displays on 15in Mid-2012 MBP

    So I've recently been looking into purchasing 2 displays to connect to my MacBook Pro. After days of research I've come to the conclusion that MST (daisy chaining through Display Ports) won't work, as Mac OS doesn't support it. So my main issue is how am I supposed to connect to 2 monitors...
