I have a unibody macbook running OSX 10.8. I wondered how feasible it would be to use an external monitor instead of the built-in display. I am not talking about plugging in a 2nd monitor (this is possible and I do already), but making the Macbook think an external display is the built-in laptop display. So I can maybe have two external screens and not use the built-in small, low-res screen at all.

Is it a case of getting the right adapter and any monitor should work, or is there more to it?

I'm not sure how to do exactly what you're asking, but if you use clamshell mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131) by waking your laptop while closed (and plugged in, via an external mouse), the laptop display will stay disabled, and I assume both external displays will stay enabled. I've only tested this with one external though.
