Jan 2, 2016 9:38 AM in response to Duaneby tjshelby32,sorry, you are correct, thunderbolt. My head is swimming with terms as I try to research this topic. However, it has only one Thunderbolt port. How an I connect two displays with one port? I don't see any splitters, and wouldn't that just duplicate the monitors even if there was one? The goal is to have two extended monitors. Perhaps it isn't possible with this machine.
