How about desktop space?
If you are using LCD flat panels or LCD T V displays, multi-monitor LCD mounts are the way to go. They will greatly maximize the efficiency of your working desktop space. Most LCD, LCD T V, LCD HDTV monitors come with what is known as vesa mount hole pattern on the back. A small mounting plate connects directly to the LCD then the mounting plate connects to the vesa LCD monitor mount.

	I have a laptop, can I have more than 1 display? Yes you can but it is limited due to the technology of a laptop. The limitation is in the laptop video card. In a desktop you can simply change the video card to a multi port video card. But with a laptop it is not that easy so a USB to VGA adapter needs to be used. This makes it possible to expand beyond a single display on your laptop. These external devices usually connect to a USB port providing the additional monitor connections.
