Can the Microsoft Surface Pro drive multiple external monitors?
Solution 1:
I asked a Startech rep:
Just wondering if I can get a bit of product clarification. I'm looking at the MDP2DPDVHD "Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort / DVI / HDMI Multifunction Adapter". I'm wondering if it supports multiple monitors simultaneously, or if it's just a converter for one monitor per adapter?
His reply:
This is only going to support 1 output display.
So, to accomplish what you want, you may want to look into Matrox's DualHead2Go line. Specifically the DualHead2Go DP Edition:
The Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition external multi-display adapter adds up to two monitors to your laptop or desktop computer. It connects to the video output of your system and uses the system's existing GPU to provide high-quality, uncompressed graphics and video across all monitors. Ideal for business and professional users looking to increase their productivity with a dual display setup, this little black box lets you run different applications on each monitor or view one application across two monitors.
Solution 2:
I have the Surface Pro and I've it connected to dual monitor with the Zotac DisplayPort. It works perfectly with a resolution of 3840x1080 and apart the surface screen.
