It worked for us that way. We used it to tie 2 projectors together for displays at church. We have a projector on the front for the congregation, and one on the back wall for the choir. Does that help you?

You have to have a VGA out to run to the display splitter. This device splits and extends the VGA signal you already have coming out. You can set your VGA out to duplicate on to the output in your pc settings.

This is nothing more than a Booster/splitter. In other words, it will display the same thing on two different monitors or projectors. It could best be described as being "dumb" hardware. If you want unique images on each of the two external monitors you will need something like a USB to VGA adapter (which this is not). Good luck to you.

Only if your laptop has a VGA port. Newer ones do not usually. If it doesn't you would need the appropriate adapter if it has DVI and a converter as well if HDMI.

oh yeah. and it's awesome - currently have 2 monitors on an arm, and 2 of these on the desk in front of each. apparently my video card will take another one... just trying to figure out where it would go! i had to use a different USB on my computer than the one i initially tried, possibly a power issue as noted in the other answer

There are 2 DisplayPort plugs, 1 HDMI, 1 VGA and 1 DVI. I've had no problems running a dual-monitor setup, but I doubt that whatever humble business laptop you're docking this into has the GPU capability to simultaneously display on 4 monitors. A better question you should be asking yourself is why on earth would you want a quad-monitor setup for docking your laptop. Swordfish was just a movie dude.

The display work like a second screen. Like if u go into your display properties and choose extend desktop. You will see two different thing on you computer and the tv.

I was so happy with this monitor, i bought another one to extend the display. I use a laptop HDMI connection. But i am unable to extend the display on the two HP monitors. Second one is not getting any signals. Does anyone know how to make this work?

This is simply a splitter that duplicate input signal. 4 different "monitor/TV" screens will have the exactly same content. For multiple displays with different content, you need multi-display graphics adapters.

Nic, I bought this unit for use in my church. I currently have it attached to my iMac, and displaying on a secondary monitor, a projector, and a tv in the lobby. So, yes, it does add 4 monitor display extensions. But, all 4 monitors display the secondary monitor feed you send them from the main computer. You don't have individual control over each display. Hope that helps.

I dont see how this is possible. Its used for two monitors on one computer not the other way around

Yes, I had this connected to two external monitors. So was able to use the two external monitors and my laptop's monitor.

Yes it does. I actually hadn't tried yet, but I hooked in a third monitor and it detected it and gave the option to extend to the third montor.

I don't think the adapter has anything to do with this, it is dependent on your video card and/or computer. But in my case I am able to extend the desktop to my second monitor. Replicate is also an option.

No. This will duplicate what you are seeing on one monitor to another one. It will not enable expanded desktops or separate monitor areas. Was pretty darn disappointing.

wanna buy this... somebody knows if I plug the 3 displays at the same time, can I get together as one, for example to play some game like racing or flight simulator, to see the expansion making one screen.. thanks

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that? I have always just used one monitor for two computers.

Hi, I haven't actually tried this myself and don't have a spare monitor home to attempt it. But if its not displaying to the second monitor after connection the hdmi port, try going to control panel and changing the display settings. Sometimes the settings for the display remains on the main monitor only and you have to set how you want the computer to handle the second monitor. You could usually set it to duplicate the same screen on two monitors with either both on or the main one off; or it can be set to span the desktop image accross the two displays.

Please excuse my ignorance, but could someone tell me what HDMI out actually allows you to do? I'm guessing hook up your netbook to an external monitor/tv for alternate display? I'm I correct? Thanks!

It will extend your desktop too. It has some glitches like blacking out during high volume processing such as using ArcGIS tools. But for the price, it gets the job done. Next time I think I'll try a higher price product. The resolution with the VicTsing is actually better than plugging the second monitor into the Panasonic Toughbook's VGA connector!
