it'd be hard to do with a laptop, unless I misunderstand them, becuase you need to have a video card for each monitor...can;t really see how you'd get another vid card in a laptop...

I know you can choose between the two or you can have them both displaying the same thing at once, but how do you have them displaying different things simultaneously?

The profs at school do it all the time.

The internal monitor is where they keep their desktop, and then when they launch their Powerpoint and other apps they move it across to the external monitor, which goes into the podium and up to the big projector in the ceiling.

a laptop's ability to "extend" the desktop to an external monitor instead of cloning the existing desktop is a recent ability most laptops could not do this and were actually hardwired as incapable of running more than one at a time a request sent to free email tech support for your laptop company should determine if your laptop can "extend the desktop" onto the external monitor
