Hi Everyone,

I have searched high and low and have not found a solution to my question.

I have a laptop with an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card. It has both VGA and HDMI outputs. I want to be able to use 2 external monitors as the main monitors when at my desk at home. I plan on closing the laptop so the laptop screen wont be in use.
So here is the question. Can I run both monitors of the HDMI port? As in, use a splitter from HDMI-> Dual HDMI? Or use a HDMI -> Dual-DVI-D splitter and run a DVI cable to each monitor? I don't want replication, I want my desktop to be extended from one display to the other. My fallback plan is to use the HDMI port for one monitor and VGA for the other, however I would like to keep the signal digital for both.

Thanks for your help.
 
Nope. You can only use one external monitor with the HD 3200 regardless if you are using the laptop's screen or not.
