I found out you can even use two external displays by using a mini display port to dual HDMI adapter. You might not be interested, but I was amazed when I found out since I hadn't even considered that an option. The only downside is that the desktop will be spanned over both monitors. I'm using a product by Zotac, which seems to be discontinued, but I'm sure there are others.

just make sure that you get a monitor that has a HDMI or displayport input because those are the easiest to convert to from the mac port.
