Is double screen possible when one is a laptop?

Just wondered if there a way to hook up a flatscreen monitor to a laptop so you get double screen pleasure?

    you can also buy a docking station for your laptop (look them up)
    this way you can use dual large screens VS. using one laptop screen and one flatscreen.

    Windows 8.1 X64 Sonar Platinum x64
    Custom built: Asrock z97 1150 - Intel I7 4790k - 16GB corsair DDR3 1600 - PNY SSD 220GB

    From my own experience I would say the only limitation may be your video card, as long as both allow dual monitors there won't be a problem.  Unfortunately I found out 2 years after getting my computer and finally getting a tablet to use as a second monitor that my computer didn't allow for multiple monitors

    OS - Windows 10 x64

    MIDI - M AUDIO Keystation PRO 88, Focusrite Scarlett 8i6, Roland UM-ONE Mk 2, Yamaha MU100R
     
    Microphones - sE X1, AT 2035, Neumann TLM102
    Monitors - Yamaha NS7, ATH-M50 'Phones
