I'm currently connecting my Acer Aspire 5742-6638 to an external VGA port. The laptop also has a HDMI port. I would like to get an additional monitor with the HDMI input to hookup to the laptop, if possible. This way, I would have three displays.

Will the Acer Aspire 5742-6638 (CPU - Core i5) support the arrangement? I like to know before going out buying the additional display.

A Mobile Core i5 can only support 2 displays, so no you couldn't add a third display.

The VGA port may work at the same time as the HDMI, but if it did it would definitely disable the laptop's LCD. The only option I know of for adding a third display is a USB video adapter.
