I'm assuming this will hook up to a Dell laptop to be used as a dual monitor?

Yes, this should work fine, Just right click on your desktop screen of your laptop and choose graphics properties where you can select how you will use the monitor. By default I think it will just duplicate your screen, but you can change it to "extend desktop" and then even select what side of the laptop the monitor is on so the mouse will move from screen to screen correctly...

Hi, I use these monitors for the coin operated video games I produce, you can plug a lead from your VGA connection (Blue Plug) on the back of your laptop to the VGA outlet at the back of the monitor.Freddy Bailey

It will connect one VGA connector (such as computer output) to another (such as monitor input). It is not designed to split one output into dual outputs.

This adapter is specifically for output to another monitor from a Computer or Laptop... so it is an output device only. I would not expect it to be able to work as an input device at all.

Yes, but it's a short adapter, so you'll probably need at least a 3' DVI cable, depending on how far you monitor is going to sit from your laptop.

Probably not, unless your DELL PC also has an HDMI port or you get two of these. We used these to adapt DELL laptops with display ports to connect to HDMI displays on monitors and projectors, they work great.

I would first check to see that your laptop could support two monitors at 2560x1440 and then confirm it has to display-port ports.

The short answer is yes, your monitor support DVI-D so this connection would work. Looking at the specs on Dell's site, your monitor also supports DisplayPort and HDMI. I would recommend purchasing a straight DisplayPort connection to go from your Mac to your Dell monitor. Your second choice would be to purchase a DisplayPort to HDMI cable and use that connection. The Dual Link DVI connection would be my third choice as it can be a troublesome connection. Both of the other cables will be MUCH cheaper and less troublesome.

If I understand your question correctly, no. This cable is intended to connect FROM a DisplayPort output on your laptop to a VGA input on a monitor or projector.

I am not using the adapter for that purpose. My need was to connect a second monitor to my desktop and it works perfectly. Installation was easy, plug the monitor cable into the adapter and plug the adaptor to the DVI port on the computer. Done, now have two monitors.

Yes it will connect a monitor to your laptop. I don't know about the energy usage. I run mine on 110V.

I'm using one with my desktop to connect a second monitor. It works great. I think it should work with your laptop.

You would need a video card with a Thunderbolt output or a converter. Rest assured the DP port is output only, and you cannot connect it to a PC via DisplayPort.

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.

Yes it will. I actually use 2 monitors and bought 2 of these and they work well.

Completely depends on which Dell model it is. If it has VESA mounting holes, you are good to go.

Mine is connected to a Dell Precision M6700 with a display port. I'm running two monitiors in addition to the laptop scrxeen for a total of three monitors. One monitor is connected to the VGA connector, and the other to the display port using the adapter and works fine
