You can daisy chain two monitors via displayport at maximum supported resolution. If you are willing to go down in resolution you can daisy chain a third.

If you use a compatible adapter, I think it should work. I've just used an active Accell mDP to HDMI adapter, and it all worked, although my older computers don't support DP 1.2, so, all I was getting is the mirror mode.

This is an HDMI switching device. If your intention is to use it simultaneously then it probably won't work for you. Think of this as an A and B channel. To use any device you switch the channel. You can have one monitor and two devices to use each device with the one monitor.

Never used it that way but I have with other windows systems. There is only one old fashion type monitor port. If one of your monitors works with a usb port I would think it would not be a problem.

Yes, I use the HDMI port to add a 2nd monitor so I can use the dual monitor feature of Windows.

Personally I would go with an DVI to HDMI cord. And use the two DVI ports. Or two DVI to HDMI adapters. The only way to do what you are talking about is a HDMI Splitter box even then I do not think it would work for what you want, HTH Mark

I am currently using 3 monitors with this dock. All 3 are Dell U2414H monitors using DisplayPort daisy chaining. There is one DP cable coming from the dock to my far left monitor. Then from the left monitor, there's a DP cable to the middle, and the same for the right. Be aware that there are firmware updates for this dock that fix the DisplayPort hub that's included in the dock. This is the support page that has the firmware update I used to fix some of my DisplayPort issues: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd028010

This is a splitter, not a switch.For two computers to a single monitor, you need a switch.

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.

Yes you can, and remember the last monitor in the chain can be a basic monitor with a single input DP port. So you could save the extra $100 or so on that last monitor.

It looks like you can output 2 digital signals and 1 analog signal. For my case, I have 2 DisplayPorts and 1 VGA monitor working when hook up to the dock. When adding another DVI or HDMI monitor separately, it didn't come up at all. It might display a fourth monitor if you could get an adapter that converts USB to DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort.

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.

Hmm. Not entirely sure on that. I did have it on my monitor and HDTV through the HDMI at the same time so i wouldn't see why a third monitor wouldn't work. But not 100% sure on that.

Absolutely. That is the whole purpose of this item. I use it to daisy chain to multiple tvs using the HDMI connector to the tv input and using SDI cabling and multiple adaptors, instead of HDMI between the TVs, as I can go much further with SDI than I could with HDMI Cables.

Yes, but you have to use the Display port as one of the inputs to the monitor, and then any HDMI input to do split screen, FYI, two HDMI inputs won't let you do split screen

Yes you can, you just have to assign which source will come out from each hdmi output

Instead of plugging in a monitor to each of the different ports, you might be able to daisy-chain your monitors through the DisplayPort. Your monitors will have to support DP 1.2.
