Yes, but only if you have a second rgb or dvi plug on your computer side then you could plug in the hdmi to the monitor if it supports hdmi. If not, I suggest using an RGB splitter which uses 1 to the computer and and 2 out to the monitors. It is located here on amazon as follows; (copy this and paste it to the amazon search) PTC Premium 1-FT GOLD Series VGA / SVGA 1 source to 2 displays Splitter cable - 2 separated leads for the displays for greater reliability and eliminates signal interference. Duplicates the image from the video source to 2 displays. If I did not understand your question I apologize

Hello, I do not think that you would be able to connect an additional monitor unless there is a way to do that by USB

Hello, I have hp pavilion , you should be able to use your VGA cable as I didn't have to buy another cable. Just use cable that comes with monitor.

This PC seems to have a HDMI port. You can buy a HDMI to DVI converter to attach a second monitor.

Gayle yes it can. One from the Digital port and one from the HDMI port that requires an HDMI cable for your monitor. I currently run 2 monitors and the laptop display as we speak on this Plugable

Yes. It has as HDMI and a mini-displayport. Both are usable at the same time. For two external monitors at the same time. The dual SLI NVidia cards have no trouble at all. It is NOT compatible with the new Alienware external Display amplifier however.

The hub will allow you to do anything you normally would with an external monitor - The monitor shows up in control panel as a secondary monitor. The real concern is if your graphics card supports Display Port 1.2a If it doesn't, the hub won't work at all.

Yes, you can. You don't have to use 2 monitors. For the card or cable to work properly

Yes, you can use just the external monitor.. or leave the laptop monitor open for dual monitors. I've been doing both.

Some of it will depend on your specific laptop and video card capabilities. We have successfully used this docking station to connect an HP 8770w with a Quadro K3000M video card to have two external monitors in addition to the laptop display. You will need to run one external monitor via the VGA connection in the back of the docking station, and the second monitor will need to be connected using the DisplayPort connection on the docking station and a DP-to-VGA adapter (it will not work using a DP-to-HDMI adaptor, or using the DVI connection on the back of the docking station).

Naturally no, but its potentially possible to use 2 of these at the same time if you buy an adapter that allows for dual monitors.

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.

nope, you plug this into an usb port, let the plug and play install the drivers, then connect a second monitor.

sorry, I used it to hook up a second monitor I don't know if it would work for you

Absolutely not! You must have external speakers. Now if you're connecting this to another monitor that has speakers already (i.e. HP Envy 23-Inch all-in-one) for dual monitor capability, then the sound will come out of that monitor. The need for secondary external speakers will be optional.

Hello Yakov. The unit comes with an installation CD which has the drivers. It's quite an easy install process. In my "original" setup, my laptop was display 1 and my other monitor attached to my VGA output was display 2. With this new unit attached to a USB port, I now have display 3. Yes, it will work. :)

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.
