Has anybody tried hooking up two external monitors via MiniDP + HDMI?
If so, does the internal display still work? Or are you limited to the two external? Or does it work at all?
Thanks

Look here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m14x/593173-how-many-monitors-supports-m14x.html
According to itsfrosty you can hook up all 3 ports (MiniDP, HDMI and VGA). Plus the laptop screen will also work simultaneously. -
I'm literally 1 click away from ordering a Dell UltraSharp U2211H 21.5-inch IPS panel for $227 after tax but I need to know if the m14x can run two because I have a Samsung 23" I'd like to keep

that's interesting too bad it's a dead end on the mode

IME I have only been able to do 2 screens at a time. So 2 ext but no internal. BTW the U2211h is awesome!

I think the biggest question is the one asked at the end of the linked thread:
I'll echo Romanamon's experiences based on other laptops, but I've never really been able to drive 3 displays simultaneously (spanned, not duplicated). Does the GT 555M support whatever Nvidia's version of Eyefinity is called? -
I hooked up two different screens, VGA AND HDMI, and all three screens can run together.
I can choose if I want to duplicate the main screen, or extend the desktop to the three screens.
I can't test Display Port because I don't have any DP cable nor DP connector on my screens. -
I can confirm that all the display connection can work simultaneously on the m14x. Display Port + HDMI + VGA + laptop display. 4 displays at the same time expanded. 1 x 24" Dell UltraSharp (DP), 1 x 21" Dell Ultrasharp (HDMI to DVI), 1 x 17" NEC (VGA) rockin!

That is great news! Thanks for confirming.
