Want to connect 2 external screens to my MBP.
Is this really possible?

I've seen the Matrox DualHead2Go Digital ME reviews and it looks okay with some issues but is expensive...

What are the other options?

Cheers
 
What year MBP?

rMBP or cMBP?

rMBP;

Thunderbolt displays x2 or Thunderbolt,HDMI

cMBP with thunderbolt:

Thunderbolt, USB to HDMI

As far as I know your options are:

1) DualHead2Go

2) USB video adapter

3) Apple Thunderbolt displays (they support daisy chaining).
 
ACD + ATD possible on cMBP, solution here:

It is also possible to daisy chain an Apple Cinema Display with an Apple Thunderbolt Display only if you have another TB device sitting between them, & the ACD must be at the end of the chain.

There is an interesting youtube vid in which a guy has managed to do just that with a Seagate TB Desk adapter with no lag, unlike others using a Lacie TB drive (watch the whole vid):

Hope this helps somebody.
