hey i have a macbook and im just looking for where i could get a cheap LCD monitor or two maybe like a 15 or 17 inch dont really need anything bigger. if i could find one cheap enough to get 2 it would be really dope. and how would i go about connecting 2 monitors? i know how to set them up on the computer just wondering how the cords would work. any input is appreciated. thanks apple heads.

if you have a costco or and other wholesale store near you they might have a good LCD monitor for sale espcially now for the holidays. Walmart even though i hate it might have some deals. Mostly any electronic store will have deals now. Bestbuy has some nice ones for $130 right now. Staples has one 17" for $130. But ou can only set up 1 monitor since you likely only have one DVI port. You can get a video splitter but i don't recommend it.

ok i just looked around and there are some 17's for 130 but i found a 19 widescreen for 150 which i think is a much better deal. and why would a splitter be a problem?

i just don't think it would be good to use with the macbook and if you have get a 19" monitor thats plenty big enough to do many things with. Unless you need to be able to use all three monitors for editing
