    Hi gud pm =) I'm planning to get a Macbook Pro 15inch non retina but i'm not sure if it is capable of multiple monitors.
    I was thinking of buying an Apple Thunderbolt Display for it and I also have an existing Samsung LCD TV that I also want to use.

    Q:Is the MBP capable of connecting both external displays? the ATD connected via thunderbolt then daisy chain the Samsung lcd tv from the extra thunderbolt port of the ATD thru mini displayport to HDMI adapter?

    that is probably not possible, you will need something like this to get the display output to 2 monitors: Matrox DualHead2Go Digital ME | Multi-Monitors for Laptops
