Will this connector allow you to "extend the desktop" or only "replicate the desktop"?

Either one. It's the same as any other adapter except for the fact that it uses a proprietary connector.

I don't think the adapter has anything to do with this, it is dependent on your video card and/or computer. But in my case I am able to extend the desktop to my second monitor. Replicate is also an option.

You can do either one, or choose either external or laptop screen only. But I've yet to figure out how to really fix the wifi hanging up problem....

Not 100%, but understand all this thing does is stretch your desktop over two screens. Your display driver won't pick up the other monitors, it will just be like they are all part of one long monitor. It's really annoying and my co-worker that I got this for doesn't even use it because nothings snaps on the other displays. I might be wrong on some things though.

I assume you mean your desktop as in your desk top. In which case, yes. It will work for that. Although there is a little bit of play in the mount that the monitor slides in. I would suggest using some paper or something similar in thickness to tighten it up.

Hi Donald, thank you for your question. Yes, the connected monitors can be configured to either mirror your main screen, or extend the Windows desktop, allowing visibility of more application at the same time. This HT-UD01 USB Display Dock can also be configured to be the primary display.

Yes. As long as you are just extending the USB device you are wanting to use yes you can use this.

I don't think so - I don't see any expansion ports on the inside of the PC. I think you're stuck with the built-in graphics....

The display on the desktop needs a connection for the "monitor" which I don't believe it does.. so no...

desktop ==== 2-Port RJ45 Splitter ====== router? what do you mean by connecting this to a desktop?

Yes, it does if your desktop/laptop's graphics card supports it. I have used it as extended desktop or duplicate desktop and it works well.

I have never actually used it. Waiting to get a monitor for the desktop (previous monitor disappeared when moving).

This depends on your graphics cards. Most can be cloned or extended to one other monitor.

No. This will duplicate what you are seeing on one monitor to another one. It will not enable expanded desktops or separate monitor areas. Was pretty darn disappointing.

Not positive, but if you have your desktop connected directly to the adapter and not the wifi then NO!

Yes for sure. If your desktop is not wireless Davy you can always use an Ethernet cable

To the best of my knowledge, the Y adapter reduces the VGA signal to each monitor to half of the signal that is coming out of the Video Card. This dims the brightness of each display. It is my personal thinking that if you want a clearer, sharper display you would be better off with the second Video Card. I am assuming that you are using a desktop computer. The VGA Y splitter will NOT "extend" the desktop, but will only duplicate the desktop on both displays.

No, this is a display port cable. If you have a DP port on your desktop, then yes you can, but if you only have HDMI then this will not help you. Cable is of poor quality anyways, build quality and technical, being that it goes from digital output to an analog input. It's a specialty thing that you only get if you are in a bind and HAVE to do it this way. Look for an HDMI to VGA cable.

I use it to extend the desktop from my laptop to another monitor and it works just fine. I don't have personal experience beyond that. If you are extending to more monitors than the main and one more, you may be able to use two adaptors; just a guess.
