Lots of DisplayPort monitors can support daisy chaining, so you don't even need 2 ports on the system.

Well, I have only seen the cheaper ones that don't and won't that also require the DP cable to actually be a good one, instead of whatever I found around? I actually tried quite a bit to find a DP cable that I could know, would have a better data-rate, but all I found was people reselling the complementary cables that came in device packages, for a few extra bucks. Only HDMI being available with properly rated packages.
