The two dells I have used in the last 4-5 years did allow a second monitor ok. In fact dell support didnt even know my first one did second monitor. The acer I now have also does it as do some toshiba's. I think there is a good chance most modern ones do support it. Allen

Can anybody tell me whether it is possible to achieve a simlar setup with a laptop, using the built-in screen and a monitor attached to the external display port, or will the external display always be the same as what's on the built-in screen ?
