Here's my situation. I have two great 22 in monitors that I would like to use. My laptop only has one dvi port on it, so I am able to run my laptop and one external monitor fine. No problems there, but is there anyway I can toss in the other monitor to the mix?

I've tried a few products, some did not work, and some while worked, did not give me the 3 distinct screens I wanted.

http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&Item=GVS162W6 just mirrored my monitor and http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/gxm/products/dh2go/digital/home.php just stretched the displays between the two and the resolution just did not look right.

Thanks in advance.
 
What laptop do you have? Some laptops can equip a dock/base that gives an extra video output. I had a D420 with MediaBase that was like that.
 
I've worked with multiple docks at the IT job I have at my university and they seem to do the trick. See if your laptop manufacturer makes one and if they do, make sure it allows for both the video out on the laptop AND the video out on the dock to be used at the same time (instead of disabling the laptop's video out once it is connected to the dock).
