My monitor has a vga, the computer has a dvi(d) connection. Will this connect my monitor as a second on the system?

Yes. It did for me. We have a bunch of computers at work with double screens and this was the perfect solution.

IF your computer has BOTH a vga and a dvi video output then its a qualified "yes"...but it depends on the video card...you would have one monitor hooked up to the vga out and one to the dvi out using this adapter. I assume you dont have a monitor with dvi input to test first...If you have only one video output, there are usb-based multiple monitor devices you might want to check out as an option.

Yes it works just fine. Just make sure which dvi connection you have there is a DVI (d) and a DVI (i) They are different and you need different connectors for each.

It will connect them as a second monitor. The trouble I ran into is with two VGA monitors, they would flash back and forth between monitor one and monitor two. I ended up buying the write dvi-d monitor

Hi Patricia - Yes it should work. I had the same issue with a laptop docking station. I use this to add a second VGA monitor and it works great!

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.

no, it's a proprietary connector (on card) which fits a breakout cable (provided with card) which in turn provides 2 DVI ports. so in short - 2 DVI output, no VGA. You can of course place a DVI to VGA adapter (passive) on one of the DVI outputs (cable) and thus achieve DVI+VGA but it seems too much hassle given there are many card that will provide that (DVI+VGA) natively, IF that is what you're looking for. Hope that helps.

You need a converter box which are fairly expensive. DVI are Digital and VGA are analog.

Both the VGA and DVI ports are active at the same time, but the laptop will only support 2 monitors; meaning, you can have the laptop monitor and one other monitor connected at the same time or 2 external monitors connect at the same time. If you have a monitor connected to both the VGA and DVI ports the laptop monitor will not work. You can add other monitors with USB to VGA/DVI adapters if you want more than 2 displays.

You will need an HDMI cable to use the HDMI connection on the monitor.It also has DVI and standard VGA connectors as well.

this monitor has 2 inputs VGA and DVIhow ever I would not consider this as double duty (look at J. Nicklin answer)

It will connect one VGA connector (such as computer output) to another (such as monitor input).It is not designed to split one output into dual outputs.

You will probably need two DVI cables (connect from splitter to the monitor) or if you have VGA cales, you will need DVI to VGA adapters (available at Amazon or Walmart) to connect to the splitter and then connect the VGA cable from Adapter to the monitor.

I tested this by pulling the power cord from the back while it is tied into my computer via DVI connection, waited a moment and then plugged it back in. It came back on to the same input to what I was viewing on the computer screen. So I would say it will do what you want based on this.Good Luck

Buy a vga to DVI-D adapter and a DVI-D cable. Do not use a vga to HDMI cable with wide gamut monitor.

You should have no problem as long as it connects through a dual dvi connector

Do you mean VGA? For my set up, I may have used cable with DVI on both ends so I can't say I remember a VGA connection.There are adapters for DVI to VGA so something like this should work:Generic DVI-I Dual-Link (M) to 15-Pin VGA (F) Adapter

These monitors have a DVI and an VGA connection. DVI and HDMI are digital, where VGA is analog. I would go with an HDMI to DVI cable to add to your existing DVI cable.

It depends on what you are trying to do. You CAN'T go from a VGA output from your computer to a digital input on the monitor. I ended up not using this adapter and buying a new, plain vanilla video card with two HDMI outputs, and connecting my monitors with HDMI cables. ( P.S., this was a snap; there was futzing around involved at all).

It has only one DVI and VGA Port. May you can think of some spiliters and connect two sources! I have not done it.

No the HDMI and DVI are digital and can work both st the same time but the VGA is analog and works alone

Yes. The computer comes with a NVIDIA GTX 650, which has three display connectors: One Dual Link DVI-I, One Dual Link DVI-D, One Mini HDMI. I used a converter cable (?) to convert one of the DVI connectors to VGA, and the other DVI connector to another monitor. Note that you must connect to the graphics card display connector, not the integrated graphics card display connector (eg. the standard size HDMI port).
