[SOLVED] Mac to LG screen problem!

[Alice_332]

Hi guys; Im a girl and I don't understand computer jargon would be so grateful if somebody could help!

My dilemma is this..... I have two LG IPS LED 24MP55 screens. and 1 macbook pro. I need to connect the two hopefully to use all screens (including the laptop screen) to edit my photos on. I have so far been using an VGA to Thunderbolt connector with an adaptor. Have recently bought an HDMI to Thunderbolt to use instead as my adapter managed to fall apart (seems to happen a lot with apple cables!) But it occurred to me that I can't add two cables into my laptop. Have looked online but can't seem to find one unless I use VGA cable with one screen and HDMI with the other and get a three way thunderbolt adapter. It just seems a little messy.
Any help is massively appreciated!

An appropriate answer to your question, in my opinion, requires a tad bit more information. Which version/model of the MBP do you have? Given such, I'm sure I/we can provide you with cost-effective solution that'll free you from your dilemma.

Although this solution is much more complicated, a good idea would be to buy a DualHead2Go Digital ME:

then using either DVI to HDMI or HDMI to DVI adapters, wire it up.
In general, if you are photo editing, I do not recommend VGA, as it does not deliver colours as well as DVI or HDMI.

If the problem is cable-clutter, then that is not going to be quite as easy/cheap to fix (not that the adapter is cheap). The only way to only have one cable coming out of your laptop for two displays would be to get Thunderbolt displays, then daisy chain one to the other (connect one monitor to the other, then connect one cable to your laptop).
However as itmoba said, if you can tell us your laptop model, it should make things a lot easier
