Is it possible to use multiple monitors or displays?

Question

If it's possible to use multiple monitors with the device, how can this be set up and configured?

Are there USB to VGA adapters that might help achieve this goal? — DeveloperDon, Aug 28 '12 at 17:26

You cannot use both the HDMI and RCA outputs simultaneously.

I'm not sure, but it may be possible to use a DSI display (when it becomes available) at the same time as HDMI.

It's best to include information from the link to prevent link rot. – ramblinjan Jun 13 '12 at 19:41

Almost seven years after this question was asked, Raspberry Pi 4 includes support for dual displays.

with Raspberry Pi 4, you can run two monitors at once — and in 4K, too!

From official specs page:

2 × micro-HDMI ports (up to 4kp60 supported)
