3 CPUs with VGA, DVI, & HDMI out. Twin monitors with same inputs. Must one manually select the input source @ the monitor when switching CPUs?

There are 4 lights on the face of the unit.You have to choose which CPU you want to use and press that number.The line in use gets lighted up with a different color and the 3 unused lines remain one color. The good thing about this product is that you can hook up external Hard drives and when you switch the CPUs the hard drives change to that CPU too.Hope this helps.I love this product.

This KVM does not support HDMI. But no you do not need to select intuit source at the monitor.

I would not think so if the monitor is set to auto detect inputs unless the switch box is sending signal to all three connections continuously then yes you may have to select the input at the monitor.

Not quite sure what the question means but based on what I think you mean.... Meant to connect one DVI monitor, one VGA monitor, one mouse, one keyboard, USB and audio to up to 4 computers. For each computer you use a vga output and a DVI output. When you switch inputs ewverything changes over. The monitor receiving vga continues to be the vga monitor so no need to change it, same for the DVI monitor. Alternatively you can connect a dvi monitor to the hdmi output by using the appropriate adapter cable. Ditto for the vga if you have the appropriate adapters but generally not worth the trouble.

Same experience here -- I couldn't get it to support 3 monitors concurrently.We ended up getting DisplayLink USB to VGA adapters for the third monitor, since we're just doing office work (documents, spreadsheet, emails). It's worked well and seemed to be the lowest cost option.If you need 3 monitors for gaming, I assume you would need 2 graphics cards (and probably a stronger power supply), although I haven't done it so can't confirm.

No, you would need something else to use two monitors at once. This is used for switching between two monitors that are used one at a time.

Yes. You can input VGA and output VGA or DVI all or a combination of outputs. Also you can input DVI and output VGA or DVI or a combination. You will need DVI to VGA adaptor

You most definitely can. In a matter of fact. I have 3 Dell monitors as well. Keep in mind that you will have to get a DVI-I splitter in order to split one of your DVI inputs.
1481866
Yes. You can run up to 3 (verified) monitors at a time the HDMI and two dvi.

r u going from HDMI out from comp to VGA in to project and not VGA out? Adapted not bi directional due to chip

Its Intel HD Graphics 4600 only have two slots for monitor: DVI and old VGA version, I guess if you want to support more monitor you need to buy a card graphic for it, and I haven't seen any switch for that outside of the case.

You would need to get either two DVI to VGA adapters or two DVI to VGA cables. Or better yet, two monitors with DVI inputs.

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

Nope. Only inputs are DVI and VGA. HDMI is less likely to be on monitors specifically since it includes audio signal which the monitor won't process (and could play havoc with your audio out from your computer).
1796453
Yes. You can use up to three different inputs on this monitor. I currently am using both the HDMI and DVI ports.

There is a VGA, HDNI and DVI port on the back graphics card.We are only driving a 26' monitor, so I don't know if it drive multiple monitors.
238057
Yep. Just connect the monitors directly to cpu and the keyboard and mouse via switch. I Have not tried it but there is no reason it should not work.

The computer has two video output ports. One HDMI, the other VGA. Both ports can be used at the same time if desired.

this monitor has 2 inputs VGA and DVIhow ever I would not consider this as double duty (look at J. Nicklin answer)

No, Hdmi 1 and 2 are inputs only to the monitor, they are not out put drivers.
