Can I use two of these monitors at the same time?

I just bought the AOC. And, after reviewing the Q&A;, I bought the Anker 60W in order to support 3 screens. And, the AOC is still not working when I have another external monitor. The AOC screen is not full size unless I disconnect the other external monitor from my laptop.

I use two all the time at home on my HP laptop, powered by a USB hub. It's great having 3 screens! I even had three connected to it at once. I uploaded the pic ( users pics of the device ).

I am currently using 2 of these along with my Lenovo laptop (total 3 screens) in my home office. The USB ports on the laptop did not have enough power to run both of them at the same time, so I used a powered USB hub that I already had. Works great as a 3 monitor setup.

oh yeah. and it's awesome - currently have 2 monitors on an arm, and 2 of these on the desk in front of each. apparently my video card will take another one... just trying to figure out where it would go! i had to use a different USB on my computer than the one i initially tried, possibly a power issue as noted in the other answer

The computer has two video output ports. One HDMI, the other VGA. Both ports can be used at the same time if desired.

Yes, easily. You need no special cables or software, just a video card with 2 outputs. If a video card has 2 outputs, the normal drivers will support 2 monitors.

Yes, but you will need a DVI-D and a DVI-I Cable, or HDMI and Display Port. Of course, with two monitors with that kind of input. Is a great card by the way.

No. There is just a single input on the splitter. It allows you to have the same screen view on two separate DVI monitors, but it is not capable of providing the ability to dispay two separate programs or files at the same time.

Please be more specific. What is it that you are attempting to do? Are you trying to add a monitor? Do you want to view (2) at the same time? Perhaps (1) or the other or both or? I'll be happy to offer assistance once you clarify. :)

As the above poster said, probably not. It will allow you to add a second monitor. It's possible if your laptop has dvi, you might be able to use it simultaneously. However, sometimes the dvi is just the DisplayPort converted.

Yes you can. That is exactly my setup at work. You could also hdmi out to another independent monitor and usb out to another if you wanted. Thanks rMBP!

You can connect two displays with what comes in the box. You will need to buy mini active display port to whatever (hdmi, dvi etc) for each additional display. Active is important and, from what I remember, there are some adapters that say they are active and won't work.It was a while ago, but I used 8 Accell B087B from Amazon and that works fine.

Yes, there is a DVI port and a VGA port so you can connect 2 monitors at once: both digital & analog.

Yeah, you don't have to use 2 monitors. You can use this instead of the mini display port.

Two PC's to one monitor? Yes. You just switch which channel for each PC you want to view.

The answer is yes you can use multiple monitors with this video card. on the video card there's an VGA, HDMI , and a DVI connector. even if you use up 1 of those 3 ports on the back of the card there are adapters that you can get for your monitor cable to the back of the other port on the video card. Also 1 of the best multi monitor programs out there is called: display fusion pro. Windows 7 does support dual monitors but display fusion pro ados a whole lot more features to it. Hope this helps. www.DHCS.org

No. It will only let you connect one monitor at a time. Recommend getting a dual display port adapter.

Hi,This card will support two monitors simultaneously, as stated in the manual. Given that, I don't really see why you would want to drive one monitor from the card and one from the motherboard - using system RAM rather than dedicated graphics RAM. However, if the latter is what you wanted to do, I can't think why that would not work. But, it's a great card at a bargain price so why not drive two monitors from it?

Haven't tried that but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It just splits the signal. There's no noticeable lag time between the monitors.

No, unfortunately you cannot - that's why I ended up buying two sets of monitors!
