Dual Monitor Setup?

[bbaham]

I have a new style MBA 13". Will the graphics card allow dual monitor use? If not, is it possible in any way?

Yes it supports it just buy an adapter to VGA or dvi and you're set

Assuming that by dual monitors you mean the internal and an external, then yes, you're fine.

If you want dual external there are adapters by matrox called dualhead.

Look into those.

If you want dual external I use the Diamond BVU195 USB to DVI adapter and it works very well, just have to download the DisplayLink drivers for it.

A USB adapter does not use the internal GPU though. It's essentially a GPU on the USB bus. Quite ******.

The Matrox Dualhead/Triplehead is a better solution. It "emulates" a single monitor from all your external monitors. Of course, if Apple would bless us with DisplayPort 1.2, we could just daisy chain monitors.

Yes, i've been using a triplehead2go array with a macbook pro since 2006. Three screens are far better than 2 because most things by default appear in the center of your screen... with 2 monitors things are always split across the bezel. I have triple 17 inch monitors and each has a resolution of 1280x1024 for a combined 3840 x 1024. I can also use the macbook pro monitor if I need more space. I'll see if i can post a picture of my setup when i get home.

Another sidenote, 3820 x 1024 is actually a real resolution so they have cool wallpapers for it, and many games support the resolution as well.

good luck playing a game on the air with that resolution
