I am trying to connect a 2nd Dell E2414H Monitor to Dell E-6510 laptop. Will this adapter: (1) work?; (2) enable both monitors to work independently?

It should work just fine. You will need to go into Screen Resolution and Extend the monitor. After connecting, be sure to reboot your laptop.

If you have an extra display port not in use on the laptop and you want to connect it to a VGA monitor you would want to get this, otherwise no it wouldn't. You probably want a USB to (DVI, HD, VGA) adaptor so you can add an extra display adaptor.

Not sure whether the laptop has the proper connection, however, this adapter will allow you to mirror the monitors not have an extended desktop.

no, I use it with my system (two dell laptops, both with ePort docking stations - one is a E7240, the other a E6410) - I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 right now but have also used Oracle Linus, Mint, and even Windows from time to time without any problems.Check your resolution for the second monitor - did you maybe pick a 16x9 instead of a 16x10 (or vice versa)?

Agreed! We like out Dell as well! We use ours very portable and have not tried hooking it up to an external monitor. However, have you tried going to "Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution" and adjusted the resolution settings? I've often used this at work to use various laptops with various viewing hardware in conference rooms including old 36" tube TV's and have generally found a resolution that works from the controls of the laptop operating system. Windows 7 has 15 different resolution settings. Older version do not have that many if I remember correctly. Anyway, good luck and I hope you find a solution. Agreed! We like out Dell as well!

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.

The E2414HR's do not have a displayport, you would need an additional adapter to make the monitor work with this cable. It would be less expensive to use a VGA to VGA cable as the Displayport to DVI converters are pricey and you don't need the extra display cable bandwidth provided by displayport unless you are looking for resolutions above 1920 x 1080.

Faizon, I would assume that if you are using the VGA cord from your monitor and plugging it into the VGA portion of this cable and then plug it into the USB of your of your docking station that should work. I assume you are trying to get a second monitor for your docking station. I would try and see if your docking station has two VGA or at least a DVI-D connection for the second monitor, but that may not be an option for your docking station or even your monitor for the DVI-D, But I would check that first before buying this item. I used this cable for a second monitor on my tower station and have not tried it on a docking station. Hope this helps.

Hi S. Anderson,Is the signal your monitor accepts digital or analog? The HDMI adapter I purchased works great with my Dell 15, but the projector I use at work is analog based and not digital, so my new HDMI - VGA adapter does not work. Hope this helps! Mark V.

Z: This adapter worked well - when I used it 1 year ago on a trading computer. I had 2 monitors on a video card and a third monitor on this adapter. No issues, or blank screens or balking of any kind. My charts updated equally with the video card and with this adapter. At this time, I no longer use that computer, so I cannot answer on the products longevity... Best of luck to you. JG.

If you do not wish to (or cannot) connect the second external monitor via the inbuilt video output port on your laptop for any reason, you would need to get a second unit to connect the additional monitor.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for posting your question here, Tewana! If your Dell monitor only has VGA ports, then you cannot use this product to connect the Dell monitor to any computer as the Plugable USB3-HDMI-DVI does not support VGA. It only supports connectivity via HDMI and DVI. Hope the above information helps! If you need any additional information, please do feel free to shoot us an email at support@plugable.com.

I have 2 monitors connected. One connected to the DVI port and the other connected to the display port using the adapter that came with the card.

Yes, I am using it for this right now. One monitor is on the built-in HDMI port, the other is using this adapter.

the docking station has both a standard (blue) vga monitor connection and the higher resolution (white) DVI-D connection. I have not tried running 2 monitors but would think it would mostly depend on the laptop capabilitiies. For sure there are 2 monitor conecctions available.

You already have one monitor hooked up via HDMI/DVI, then probably you will have just an analog VGA port available. If that is the case then you have no choice but connect up the other monitor using the VGA port. The VGA cable should come with your monitor, so you won't need to buy an adapter or cable.
