Can I connect two external monitors to my Macbook Pro's (non-retina, mid-2012) mini displayport ? I got one mini displayport to dvi converter and dvi-male to 2*dvi female splitter but this setup didn't work. My question is, can I use one display port to connect to two different monitors (both the monitors should be independent and not mirror)

  • This is a dupe, but to directly answer your question - No, you cannot connect two monitors to a single mDP port and have them independent. See the dupe answer for how to accomplish this.

  • 15" or 13"? It may make a difference.
