I have 2-24" monitors (1920x1200)
I want to connect them to my laptop but the devices I have found do not go up to that resolution. Is there any way I can accomplish this?

Thanks!

Hmm, how you able to connect 2 monitors to your laptop? 2 output slots?

What's your graphic card? Mine if Geforce 6150 can go up to 2048x1536 max. And i know some older GPU is not capable of that res. Try update to latest graphic driver for first attempt.

EDIT: And make sure you choose the second Display Adapter at Display Properties to get higher res.

Thats exactly what I am asking, how can I connect 2 monitors to my laptop, with the monitors being 24" 1920x1200 rez. The laptop only has 1 monitor out.

Its a brand new laptop, T7700, 512m vga, etc... Dont think I will have a problem with my laptop not being able to handle it, just need a device like the sidecar, etc... that I can connect multiple monitors to that go up to that rez.

You can run a different application on each monitor. All of them are separate, it has a feature to extend an application to all three but that one is mostly for games.

Cool, i see that now, my need is the "office" version. Geeky enought to use 5 screens.

One screen for system/network monitoring, second one for email MSN stuffs, third is Photoshop or music studio stuffs, fouth is porn (LOL) and fifth is my web surfing and gaming.

Isn't that sweet? Even fouth is abit waste?

Thanks for the suggestions but I guess I should be more clear.

The monitors are 24" 1900x1200 rez. The device needs to be able to do this rez or it does me no good. So... If the device will do 2 monitors, it needs to be able to go to 3800x1200 rez.... Or... If the device will do 3 monitors it needs to be able to go to 5700x1200 rez... etc...

The TripleHead2Go DIGITAL Edition can do DualMonitor Mode (even though it is a 3 monitor device) with the rez I need. So I ordered one to test it out. Will post on how it works incase anyone else is interested.
