Adding Second Display to a Laptop... Possible?

[theknight571]

We have a situation at work where a presenter would like to view their presentation on the laptop screen with the notes displayed, but display the presentation to the projector without the notes.

I know Powerpoint supports this, but our laptops will only duplicate or extend the screen to the external monitor. It's not truly a dual display.

Is there a PCMCIA card or USB device that would add a true second display to the laptop?

I will be searching for such a device, but figured I'd pose the question as well.

Thanks in advance.

Yes.

Typing "usb to dvi" @ NewEgg isn't terribly complicated.

Toshiba makes a USB external monitor with the display card built in

It's not if you know what to search for. 🙂

That product didn't come up in the searches I did.

I will check it out.
