What cable do i need to run multiple vga monitors with different content on each monitor?

The easiest way would be a simple DVI to VGA adapter if you want to make an extended desktop. You may also look up DisplayPort cables as a second option.

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.

They are all standard connections.. Blue VGA, White DVI or DMS, You can let me know which one you have though so I can put the correct Adapter in for free

This will work. You plug both devices into this box. You need a seperate male-to-mael VGA cable to run from this box to the monitor. The box has 2 buttons, one for each device; press the button for the device you want to see on your monitor screen.

You can hook up any two monitors that have a connection for display port and dvi regardless of resolution. You can even use an adapter to dvi, hdmi, or display port to suit whatever you monitor has inputs for including going back to VGA

This simple cable is to connect 1 VGA (Computer/Output) to 2 (Monitors/Inputs), which is useful for having 2 monitors in different locations viewing the same output, like a security system video output. If you want to connect 2 Towers (Computers) to 1 Monitor, you will need a VGA Switch box or a KVM to be able to select which Computer to be displayed on the Monitor.

I'm running three external monitors using this unit with my ASUS UX51V laptop, which has a single HDMI output. After updating the drivers for both the Plugable box and my internal video card, everything works beautifully!Note that the Plugable box provides one HDMI out and one DVI, so you will need both options on your monitors (or a DVI-to-HDMI adapter).

Yes, you could easily do that. You would tell monitor 1 and 2 to use "extended desktop" then tell 3 to duplicate 1 and tell 4 to duplicate 2. I just checked the settings on the one I'm using right now and it works just like you say. You would just need longer cables to reach the other location.

I don't know. I used the VGA cable that came with the monitor and the video worked fined.

VGA is 15 pins and this Serial is only 9 so you will probably need a different adapter

This unit has (1) HDMI output and (1) VGA Output. You can hook up one monitor directly to each port and use both monitors with no additional equipment. If you need to hook up multiple monitors of the same type to either port, a video distributor (splitter) can be added. For VGA, you can use the EL-VGA4 for up to 4 monitors and the EL-VGA8 for up to 8 monitors. For HDMI, you can use the HDMI-4S for up to 4 monitors and the HDMI-8S for up to 8 monitors. Hope that helps!

you'll need to consult your PC manufacturer to see if the mother board will support that. However, if your just cloning the image, there are several cheaper methods sold on Amazon for that. A VGA splitter would be the first thing to I think. You only need to change your video card if you want to extend across 2 monitors. Please check the internet for the difference in extending and cloning to see what's required. thanks and HNY

Hi, Yes you are correct, there are two displayport interfaces and one VGA.Thanks, PCrush

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.

Your workstation is listed as having two DisplayPort and one VGA video outputs. Did it not come with this adapter? If not, it then depends on the inputs on your monitor. If it will accept DP, DVI, or VGA then you have options. You can either get a DP cable, VGA cable, or this adapter and use a DVI cable. That's why I had to get the adapters, because the monitors I was using would only take DVI or VGA input and I wanted to connect to them using the DVI port. Hope this helps.

You do not need any adapter. The board has output connectors for vga,hdmi,and dvi. All you have to have is the appropriate cable for whatever type monitor you have.

I'm not using VGA cables in mine. I imagine you probably can as I have about seven different cables running through mine. Now it's tight but it's pretty good size to start with.
