There's an extended discussion in this thread:
Can Surface pro run dual external monitors?
With the ports configuration and specs of the announced Surface Pro, can one run dual external monitors? By that I mean connecting two external monitors, one for primary display and one for extended display. Irrelevant what shows on the actual Surface screen.
This is the current configuration I have for my heavy laptop (with docking station) and want to recreate it if I swap to the cool Surface Pro.
I don't mind buying some port replicators, as long as the set-up works seamlessly once connected. I saw some other threads and no docking station is planned by Microsoft at this stage
Thanks for input

Greetings ManlioV,
That's a great question. Because the Surface Pro is running Windows 8, you could get a USB port hub and USB video cards and the Surface Pro would be able to install the drivers so you could hook up multiple monitors that way.
Hope that helps.

2016-01-11T11:09:32+00:00 I want to connect a second monitor/TV to my Surface Pro, I have seen the USB Port Replicators, would this work with 1 monitor in the Display Port and 1 in the USB through a replicator or do I need something else ?
Thanks Barry
