   What's the best way to run more than one external monitor on a laptop with only one monitor plugin available?

   You could try something like this that converts a USB port to a DVI connection:

   They also make units with an HDMI out:

   Hope this helps.

   No.
   A kvm switch needs two video cards (two PCs) and uses a single monitor on two different PCs. You stated that you have a single external video port.
