If your monitors does not support HDMI, then you can always get the HDMI-to-DVI cables. Next, you’ll need 3 sets of high quality HDMI cables and a HDMI splitter box (like the one pictured below).

Generic ones will cost much less around $8 USD. Well, the only way to do this is to use a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI converter/dongle, which Apples sells for around $35.00 USD. So how do you get HDMI output on the Macbook Air. It only has one mini-DisplayPort or on the newer Macbook Air, oneThunderbolt connector. Now you’re thinking the Macbook Air doesn’t have HDMI output … and you are correct. It even works with the lid closed (thanks to the FREE NoSleep app). It took me a while to figure this out … but finally I have a workable solution! In this article we will show you how to setup dual display for your Macbook Air via HDMI ( duplicate/clone screen only). There are two options … spend over $200 USD for a Matrox DualHead2Go or similar, which apparently has some incompatibility issues with the Macbook Air or around the same price … go for a bulky VGA splitter box, which again isn’t really what I wanted. The guys at the Apple stores says it can’t be done … while I went to all the hardware stores to look for a mini-DisplayPort splitter … it doesn’t exist.

I’ve been looking to share my screen from my Macbook Air on two monitors (duplicate/clone) … and there was not many options available.
