I have a computer that I want to drag & drop programs (Outlook, Excel, PDF's) to 4 different "monitor/TV" screens. Will this work?

This is simply a splitter that duplicate input signal. 4 different "monitor/TV" screens will have the exactly same content. For multiple displays with different content, you need multi-display graphics adapters.

I do not know, since I use a dedicated cable for my extended monitor, however, I doubt it. This device is a "dumb" device....it does not recognize MAC addresses, nor does it communicate any meaningful information which would allow your computer to differentiate between screens. All of your extended monitors will show the same content. If you want 4 different monitors with independent content you'll need to add additional ports to your box or find a different device to do it.

If your laptop has a HDMI output this will let you split it to 4 monitors, TV's, Projectors.. all will show the same picture.

Yes, it can do this. I run Windows 7 and use this to stretch out my desktop, often running two windows, one in each screen. It requires two different types of cables to do so, so if you're deadset on dual HDMI ports, you should continue to look.

This dock can support as many monitors as your CPU can handle.... it connects to the USB port on your lapotp

No- sorry but its a windows based program. Good luck as you search for the program that will work for you.

The tv screen becomes a second screen. Therefore, you should drag the web pages from laptop to TV

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.

Only on one computer, the number one, and only if supported by your video card. There are KVM swiches available for dual monitors, they are expensive.

To echo the others' responses - yes, it allows different applications on all of the monitors. It essentially gives you one huge desktop. The best (and free) program to manage this is called "Display Fusion" which lets you "stretch" your wallpaper from one monitor to another. Here's a picture of my system (if Amazon allows links) http://www.flickr.com/photos/diannewood/8230467243/sizes/l/in/photostream/

I don't think this would be the best product for that purpose, I would imagine the best solution would be to simply run some video cable from the laptop to just another screen instead of another pc if at all possible. Best of luck on your search.

No, this is to plug in 3 different out puts into a tv, and it switches in between them based on the order you put them in and whether they are on or off.You are looking for screens sharing i believe. Here is some quick explanations from Ehow.com:Windows:http://www.ehow.com/how_2190985_set-up-multiple-screens-one.html#page=3Mac:http://www.ehow.com/how_6754875_set-dual-monitors-apple-computer.html#page=0

Yes, you can even use a hub and manage several screens, has a great, intuitive interface for it. Also has dual HDMI's and you can split gaming and other work, very nice monitor management system, although it already is PC/TV/multitask ready with current screen setup also and you can even use multiple task windows on one screen, including entertainment and gaming.

It treats the 2 monitors as one large monitor and the screensavers work just as they would with a single monitor. I run VMware and use the Mac OS on one screen and Windows 7 on another.

Yes and yes. It will basically take one VGA signal (15 pin) from a computer and split it to 4 monitors or projectors. All monitors or projectors will show the exact same image.

Easy. You plug one monitor into a DisplayPort. [I used a DisplayPort to VGA cable] . I plugged my second monitor into the DVI port using a DVI male to VGA female adapter. Chrome OS took about 10 seconds to configure both monitors and everything works as should. I use one screen for my emails and such and the other screen has RDP accessing my office server. Hope this helps.

I really don't know but that is an interesting question. Most laptops seem to have an easy way to use two screens and Windows will allow you to use more. You might try attaching a VGA monitor and trying for three that way, before springing for another USB monitor. If you try it and it works out, let us all know.

On my computer this lets me drag windows back an forth between two monitors. Sounds like it is what you need.
