Hi,
I recently bought a new laptop (Samsung series 9 13" ultraportable). I would like to somehow connect two external monitors (full HD) to the laptop to increase the amount of available screen real estate.
There is however a connectivity issue: external screens obviously have to be connected in some way. The laptop only has a limited number of ports:
- 1 x Micro VGA (requires dongle to regular VGA)
- 1 x Micro HDMI
- 1 x USB3
- 1 x USB2
HDMI is the obvious choice for one of the screens which leaves the question how the second screen can be connected.
Would the VGA be capable of providing a good image quality for the second full hd display? While there are solutions to connect external screens using USB2 and 3 (http://www.displaylink.com/) both appear to stress the CPU and only the USB2 variety appears to work with Linux as of yet. Would USB perform better or worse than VGA quality-wise?
Thanks,
