Would this be good as a second monitor?

Probably. It's not very high resolution so for gaming or photoshop work it wouldn't be great but for internet, and everyday stuff it should be fine. The price looks pretty good.

Yes, I would say so, but it really depends on the application. Note it is DVI, not HDMI.

You can, but that wouldn't look very good. Try getting small bezel monitors instead.

I use two for gaming. No it isn't the highest-end monitor and yes with the impending 4k rush it will become obsolete, but it is hard to beat the price point and any artifacts present don't inhibit me or my ability to enjoy gaming ;)

Yes. You plug one end into the USB port. The other end goes into the second monitor. Poof - instant second screen. It comes with a download link to install the drivers for it and everything. Will the second monitor play full speed video? Not quite. Will it work for word-processing/web browsing/most daily stuff? Yes, easily.

If this monitor is your second monitor, then Yes. If it's your only input, then No. Be sure to use the included USB cable because if you don't, your monitor may not work.

Yes, you should be able to do that. I just tested it. Now my nvidia control panel shows two monitors under the "multiple display setup". I connect my second monitor to the motherboard, but it's better if you connect it to this graphics card.

Not positive, but it seems like it would. I used it to have a dual vga because my computer would only support 1 monitor. Adding this gave me another display on the same pc.

I got this as a secondary monitor but it's actually very good. I also have the 120mhz BenQ. Side by side they are very similar although I can see the smoothness of the 120 mhz. Colors need to be adjusted out of the box.

i believe so... you should have a mini display port and, if you're going to a VGA monitor, it should be just fine.

No, unless your monitor can be elevated behind it, you'd need to buy two of these. :-)

Yeah, that should work fine. Just remove the 2nd monitor mount. I have two of these that I've used for around 3 years with 4 24" monitors (also for coding) and they're perfect.

I believe that would be an issue with your computer setup if it would allow a 2nd monitor. If you go to your desktop display properties and look there for dual monitor options. But you would probablt be best by contacting the support dept of your pc brand. Google the company name and support.

This review describes in detail using it as a monitor:http://www.amazon.com/review/R2YO8O6I8UOJ6V/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B003LPUWWM&nodeID;=&tag;=&linkCode;=

Dude, read my review (2nd one) "Should be 10 stars"... I use two, w/ two-30" monitors on EACH, so YES !!

Yes a second monitor can be connected. I personally have not done it because the screen is very large but it is possible.

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.

Oh this is a fantastic device. I use this for my laptop that does not have VGA port. It not only provide video, it does provide sound too. Great device.Yes you can use this as a second monitor. I use it for my laptop to projector for Karaoke.
