The Dell USB3/USB-C video box can drive up to 3 external monitors. I
just drive one big 36" curved monitor, but it works well. It's also
going to depend upon the video capabilities of your particular laptop.
(You need USB-C support in the laptop to make this work properly).
The box, when I got it earlier this year, was a bit over $100.

I currently have a dual monitor setup. I had planned to use the laptop
monitor as my third monitor and have two monitors connected to the two DVI

2 monitors. So the laptop has stayed closed in my docking station. I now
have a larger desk setup and an extra monitor so I thought I would revisit
this. I have seen people's setup with multiple monitors with laptops as
their desktop so I know they didn't add an extra card to it. Does anyone
have any suggestions of a good/decent usb device/dongle etc that would
allow me to add a third monitor? I am running Windows 7 on the laptop in
question.It is running an INtel i7-2600 and 32gb of RAM. I understand there
is a latency when using these devices but that isn't an issue as I have
found instances where the 3rd monitor would have come in handy.
There are no good USB2 devices for this purpose. (There are many
such devices.) The typical problem is that it can't even keep up
with your typing.
I haven't tried many of the USB3 devices, but I haven't found a
good one there, either.
Sorry.
