What ports are used to connect 2 monitors to this docking station? Are all port active at the same time or must a splitter be used?

I belive so but I haven't tried that. If not you could get a converter for the display port or DVI to make it work with your monitor.

One connects to a VGA connection and one connects to a DVI connection but have to shut your laptop to see both monitors.

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 can use the display port and the DVI ports at the same time. You will just need to change your display setting in order to get the second monitor to display on your desktop.

You need to buy two. Each adapter allows to connect one single monitor using USB port.

I am currently using 3 monitors with this dock. All 3 are Dell U2414H monitors using DisplayPort daisy chaining. There is one DP cable coming from the dock to my far left monitor. Then from the left monitor, there's a DP cable to the middle, and the same for the right. Be aware that there are firmware updates for this dock that fix the DisplayPort hub that's included in the dock. This is the support page that has the firmware update I used to fix some of my DisplayPort issues: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd028010

I would recommend and hdmi splitter that takes up one port but turns it Into three or more ports depending on the model I buyhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008GVOVK0?cache=be13262daff0ab11004eb6b6ddd39105π=SY200_QL40&qid;=1405223702&sr;=8-1#

There is one HDMI port and one DVI port. So you will need an adapter. However, I wouldn't advise hooking up an additional monitor without upgrading the graphics card.

It Supports 2 monitors at one time. HDMI + VGA or HDMI + DVI or DVI + VGA. Also the DVI out is only DIV-I so it cannot be split with a DVI-D to DVI-I + VGA cable. I have tested it and it will work with VGA + 1 digital output.

I used this splitter to attach a second monitor, it works well for this, I would suppose that if you were trying to link two computers the same way it could work?

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

I have the 2 port. Included in the box were all the cables that I need to connect 2 monitors, 2 computers and 1 keyboard and 1 mouse

One port, the other is a dvi port which you can buy an hdmi to dvi adapter to make it work.

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

You can use this device connected to a USB 3.0 hub. I use it with the Plugable 7 port USB 3.0 hub with two monitors and the Ethernet connected and it works great.

one dvi port serves for Y cables to support two monitors, the other supports one. Haven't tested it yet, but that's what the manual says

I'm running two monitors on it right now. Just be aware, there is one VGA port and one DVI port available with the onboard setup, so if you are wanting to run dual DVI monitors, you'll need an additional video card. If you're fine with one on VGA and one on DVI, you're good to go out of the box.

This is a splitter, not a switch. For two computers to a single monitor, you need a switch.

Yes it works, I use the dock with 2 24inch hd monitors (1 dvi and 1 displayport to hdmi)
