Yes, my wife uses it for her laptop with the extra monitor. There is a VGA plug on it.

First, please know that I am far from expert on this (or any electronics). That said, there is a monitor plug. I don't know if it can be used in tandem. I started using this as a port == I have various things attached to it, and now I just have the one thing to plug into my laptop.I found a user manual here -- perhaps it will answer your question better... http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03123989.pdf

There is a micro HDMI port on the left side of the laptop and the VGA adapter is $40. I had no problem hooking this up to an external monitor.

This will connect a second monitor via USB, so it should work on both a laptop and desktop computer.

We use 2 Monitors with it. One plugged into the HDMI the other via RGB extending or duplicating the desktops works as it should. All scenarios have worked so far so we have 3 screens essentially and it works a treat. Ours came with no software. We have installed 8.1 and Office 2010 and all works as it should.

Yep, it's possible with docks like this Dynadock, or the Plugable Dock Plugable USB 2.0 Universal Docking Station with DisplayLink DVI/VGA up to 1920x1080, Audio, Ethernet, and 4 Available High-Speed USB 2.0 Ports.You just connect the extra monitor to the dock with its own cable, then the dock to the laptop with USB.So assuming that your laptop already has an external VGA port that you can get one external monitor connected to (try that first), then the dock then allows you to add a second external monitor. Your desktop can then be set to span all three screens (your laptop screen, and the two external monitors), which is a cool setup.

Brad: I'm sorry, I have not used it for that purpose. Since I have a MAC laptop, it didn't have the connector port that I needed, so I bought this so I can use the 15-pin end on my external monitor and plug the USB end into my laptop. That works fine. Since it is a standard 15-pin end, My guess is that it will work, bit i haven't done anything other than use it to connect an external monitor to my laptop. Sorry I can't be of more help.

No. I bought a Plugable USB 3.0 DisplayLink to go with mine, but beware of their free trial software Multiple Monitors; try not to use that cause you have to buy it after 30 days.

I only bought one monitor and I do connect it to my laptop by aux. But Aldo ig you want you can buy an interface. Sorry I can not help you with first question.

Not with this. It is a switch. Its either one or the other. Its mostly used for TV's with only one HDMI. You can use HDMI out on a laptop and possibly VGA out but probably not for 3 separate screens. Need a decent graphics card in your PC to do that.

I have use two monitors other way use sides hdmi and thunder plug two work it . Not with both same hdmi line.

The monitor is a "slave" to your desktop/laptop and does have an hdmi port. If your desktop/laptop supports hdmi format you're ready to "plug & play" with this monitor.

Yes. You must install the drivers that come with the adaptor on the stupid small-type CD. Then once plugged in you'll need to configure the 2 screen settings. Worked like a charm for my laptop.

No, this won't work for you (the ports are reversed from what you want: your laptop must have an HDMI port, and your monitor must have VGA port).

I am not sure, I don't believe there is a USB or HDMI connection on the monitor.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for posting your question here! You can only connect one external monitor via one unit of http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0038P1TP4/. If you do not wish to (or cannot) connect the second external monitor via the inbuilt video output port on your laptop for any reason, you would need to get a second unit to connect the additional monitor. Hope the above information helps! If you need any additional information, please do feel free to shoot us an email at support@plugable.com. We are here to help! Thanks!

This device is for connecting a second or third monitor from a desktop or laptop, by way of a USB port. That is what is made to do. It is a video device
