Wondering what everyone would suggest for an inexpensive video card that would support 2-3 monitors (2 to start with but would be nice to be able to grow into 3 if the card is not a lot more expensive).

Not sure what is in my Best Buy desktop at the moment but it only supports a single monitor.

It would be used for PS, LR and internet, no gaming at all, no video editing or viewing.

Do you have a budget in mind? Graphics card that can do dual-monitor range from $70 to over $700.

Would prefert to keep it as low as I can so the closer to $70 the better. But I also dont want to spend $70 on a POC if $85 gets me something real nice. Also just looked the two monitors I currently have both use VGA connectors if that matters.

Two VGA could be a challenge. You might have to use converters. You'll probably have to look at video card specs.
