Hey,

I’m trying to hook up two monitors to my laptop, but I need them to be extended displays, not just mirroring what's on my screen. The problem is my laptop only has one crappy VGA port.

I've been digging around online about getting an external GPU, but honestly, that sounds like a massive headache.
I also saw some stuff saying you can just go USB to VGA?

Anyone actually messed around with this before? My laptop has three USB ports, so does that mean I could theoretically plug in three monitors that way?

So, long story short: I need to get two monitors running off one laptop with an extended desktop setup. Technically, that would give me three screens total: monitor 1, monitor 2, and the laptop itself.

Thanks for the help.
