    If you want extended desktop, VGA + DP is the only way. I've got two HD screens and the VGA isn't terrible if you take the time to tune the screen.

    It might not look well because the signal strength gets splitted with that, not sure if any other m15x user has done that.

    There is also this option too.
    Matrox DualHead2Go Digital SE Review
    The Matrox uses an usb to power the modal. The matrox cost a bit more that the other ones.

    I believe running this would allow you to have 2 external monitors and the laptop display running.

    Anyone else out there that has tried one of these adapters?
