Two additional monitors with only one thunderbolt port

Simple question:


I have an iMac with 1 thunderbolt port and no HDMI. I am using a thunderbolt to VGA to run a second display, but I would like to add a third display as well.

What is the easiest way to do this?


Thanks in advance!

I found a piece of hardware that looks like it will solve your issue.

If your iMac has only got one Thunderbolt port, you need a Thunderbolt hub to connect more than two external displays. A hub lets you connect more devices to your Mac, giving you more Thunderbolt ports, a HDMI port, USB, etc.


There are different ones on the Internet, and most of them are expensive, but you need one if you want to connect more than one external display to your Mac. For example, have a look at the Thunderbolt 2 Dock or the OWC Thunderbolt Dock
