Question

I'm considering getting a new MacBook Air computer and would like it to drive two external monitors at 1920x1080 resolution.

What cable or adapter would I need to run such a configuration?

A related question for MacBook Pros mentions some solutions that might apply here:

  • Would Two Apple Thunderbolt Displays work?
  • Would a DisplayLink adapter work with standard 1080p displays?
Was it helpful?

Solution

My information is second-hand, but another user at my company gave an strongly enthusiastic recommendation of a "NewerTech" USB to DVI adapter. Note that this will require use of their driver, but he has had no issues with it. It is available from OWC.
