Hi all,

Sorry if this was discussed before, I have a base model retina and I'd like to drive dual external Dell U2711 Monitors.

The monitors have DisplayPort (large), HDMI and Dual-link DVI.

I'm currently running one of the externals via a Thunderbolt-Displayport cable.

Can I just get another cable and run the second display as well? Will my retinal support both externals at 2560x1440?

I realize I'd be sacrificing both thunderbolt ports but I don't have any other peripherals that use them.

Thanks in advance!
Sasha

Dell U2711 ports:
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)

DisplayPort (DP)
