Hey Guys,

New to the forums and looking for a bit of advice and help if that's alright!

I basically want to when at home be able to hook my MBP into to 2 external HDMI 21" displays at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

I've had a little look around and i've found some info on laggy output with older MBPs using USB 2.0 output for dual monitors,
but, I can't seem to find anything on using USB 3.0 which is obviously a massive improvement in data transfer rate over 2.0.

Does anyone have any experience doing this with this at all?

I'm interested in doing this because it personally makes my coding / editing environment a lot easier to manage then one single display, and a designated workstation when at home, rather than the couch, which is alright for leisure use really but not when i'm coding.

My MBP is a: - 2012 MBP - 15" - 2.6GHz i7 - 8GB ram
