Aug 14, 2013 at 15:16 comment added LoomyBear Thanks for the reply. I heard that USB2HDMI converters are a little bit buggy. Can you tell me if USB3 cards you are talking about work notably better than USB2 cards? Now I'm thinking about upgrading to a MBP with USB3.0 on board. Maybe this will be the solution?

Aug 14, 2013 at 13:04 comment added Volsk That is true, USB video is not as smooth as a normal connection. I therefore use the third screen mainly for the display of static data or for terminals and Excel. On a side note at home I've got a 27" 2560x1920 and at work two 24" 1920x1200. I prefer the two times 24" setup. Although two time 27" would even be better of course. Monitor setup preferences are very personal.
