I've hooked my TV using Displayport to VGA adapter, and it worked fine, you just have to adjust the resolution under system preference > display.
Or are you looking to hook up more that one monitor to the Mac? |

how do you plan to connect 1 Mac notebook to 2 displays? there's only one output... if you split that output to 2, its a mirror of the output only... where do you get the monitor 3 data from? sendiri hack ?
advice : read more, ask for spoon-feeding less. |

It's not entirely impossible. there are few way, but the way is quite tough.
First external screen is easy. the 2nd one is the hard one. You can theoretically: a) Get display multiplying device like Matrox. b) Get wireless video streaming service/hardware. c) Get USB display module or video device that works with Mac. |

Have you visited the web link I've provided. Its connects via USB from your MacBook Pro to a MultiLink Display Box that connects to a DVI/VGA Monitor. You can then use its as a third or fourth monitor.
