Hi guys, I need a bigger viewing area becuase my little 15" laptop screen isn't cutting it so I want to get a cheap CRT. This refurbed 21" sony looks nice and for a good price:

Now I need to know if I can use it with my computer. My display properties show this:
Since there are 2 monitor settings (the 1st one controlling the laptop screen) I assume my video card can handle 2 monitors, is this right or do I need to check something else? Also will the 2 monitors be able to run simutaniously?
Now the other problem that I'm not so sure about. When I had a desktop the monitor plug was big, I don't remember exactly what size it was but I don't think I have the same connector on my laptop. My only open connectors are 2 USBs, a PS2 and 15 pin. Will I be able to connect the monitor to my laptop?
Thanks
