2 external monitors from laptop?

I've got a (probably) daft question. I've just got a Dell XPS L702x with GT555m graphics but it only has one external display output, an HDMI. Is there a way to output to two monitors instead of the laptop screen and one external?

I was looking at this USB display hub but I'm not sure whether it would work for what I have in mind - a score display for a pinball simulation.

Is there another solution?

Doesn't it have a Mini DisplayPort as well as HDMI? :confused:

Yes it does. How did I miss that? So will I be able to use them both at the same time?

Unlikely. Most laptops only support the built in screen and 1 other via the supplied connectors.
