Will this work with my lenovo laptop docking station? Mine has room for one VGA cable, and I want a splitter to plug in two monitors to do splitscreen

Docking station must have the DMS connection and then the splitter will give you duplicate screens. If you want to split the screens to see different tabs on the right and the left (called extended screen by my computer resource guy), then your docking station/laptop must have dual video cards. The splitter alone only gives the same image on both screens.

Problem with this connection is that it will not connect to your docking if it doesn't have to DMS-59 pin connection. You need to find a VGA input for docking station with dual VGA outputs.

DMS-59 is a proprietary connector developed by ATI. Unless your docking station has this connector it will not work. What I would suggest as a work around is connect one external monitor and use the laptop's primary screen. Sorry if this is stating the obvious.

Only if you have the DMS-59 connector, its Wider by 1/4 of an inch then DVI. If you have a DVI then NO!. You will need another splitter for DVI to 2x VGA. see

I am currently using 2 of these along with my Lenovo laptop (total 3 screens) in my home office. The USB ports on the laptop did not have enough power to run both of them at the same time, so I used a powered USB hub that I already had. Works great as a 3 monitor setup.

1. Yes, it will support two external monitors. 2. The dock plugs into an available USB 3.0 port on your laptop. Please check with Plugable for your configuration.

No, this unit connects via a Lenovo specific connector located on the bottom of the laptop for power/data/video. Note, it may not be compatible with All models of Lenovo laptops, Its always a good idea to verify that the laptop and the dock are compatible before purchase.

As far as I know, this splitter should allow two screens to show duplicates of what is showing on your laptop. This isn't what I used it for and I haven't tried it.

Yep, it's possible with docks like this Dynadock, or the Plugable Dock Plugable USB 2.0 Universal Docking Station with DisplayLink DVI/VGA up to 1920x1080, Audio, Ethernet, and 4 Available High-Speed USB 2.0 Ports.You just connect the extra monitor to the dock with its own cable, then the dock to the laptop with USB.So assuming that your laptop already has an external VGA port that you can get one external monitor connected to (try that first), then the dock then allows you to add a second external monitor. Your desktop can then be set to span all three screens (your laptop screen, and the two external monitors), which is a cool setup.

I'm not sure I can tell you device might be best with a Lenovo Ideapad...but I can tell you the unit you asked about the pluggable USB 2.0 docking station has 4 USB ports. Hope this helps.

You'll need to check with Lenovo about using the Aux port since I haven't tried; I suspect it would work but I don't know. Still really like the PC and find HDMI to VGA converter a perfect combination.

That is the purpose of this cable, so as long as your HDMI is female and your VGA is male, there shouldn't be a problem. I shouldn't have bought this connector because I do not have an HDMI port (at the time, my Dell Inspiron Mini docking station was on its way, and I mistakenly thought it had an HDMI port). You probably already know you can't plug an HDMI adapter into a USB port!

I don't know why I ended up a reviewer I did not purchase the corner stand I bought the rectangular stand. If you have a docking station I don't see why it wouldn't work for a laptop.

Your laptop should have an analog vga 9 pin plug or an hdmi port for one monitor. You would only need one of these adapters for the second screen.

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.

It doesn't work for me either, but I am just using the splitter so I can connect my laptop to my TV and my computer monitor to watch movies on Netflix and it works great. I keep my laptop on a docking station. My 40" TV even works fine as a computer monitor when I want a big screen, so the splitter works for my situation for what I want it to do.

It will work with any avail USB port you have. I currently use two to allow me to have 3 monitors connected. If you have a usb port avail, you can plug it in

I am using it with Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with two external monitors. Once in a while, the monitors are not recognized when I plug in the USB cable. Unplugging and replugging brings them online without fail.

From Lenovo website: Monitor: Yes, through a mini-hdmi port. It comes with an adapter that will convert mini-hdmi into a regular VGA cable, so if still have that around you can use it. Of course, you can also use a DMI to VGA adapter to go that route as well. 2 monitors: can I connect 2 external monitors? steve s on Mar 25, 2014 Yes. There is a micro HDMI port that you can use to connect to an external VGA or HDMI monitor. The adapter can be purchased from Lenovo or any other cable vendor.

I don't run 2 monitors, just the laptop and 1 external monitor which is plugged into the one provided HDMI port on the device. The docking station does not have a thunderbolt port which would allow daisy chaining thunderbolt devices were it available. So there seems to be nothing that would indicate that you could run 2 monitors through this docking station.
