Will this extend or duplicate the picture on multiple monitors?

I bought the 2-port version several years ago. As far as I could tell it only duplicated. I used it to send the computer output to a projector and it worked great for that. But don't forget to buy a male to female adapter for the input.

It is only a mirroring function designed to show what is on your main screen on a second screen or projector. If you have a laptop, you can extend to two monitors, but those attached displays will always show the same image.

It duplicates the picture. When they say "Extend," they are referring to the fact that it boosts the signal such that you could run the output cords up to 210ft away without noticeable picture degradation. Also, instead of buying a male/female adapter, just buy the unit with the correct ports built-in. It is the Cables To Go 29503 TruLink 2-Port UXGA Monitor Splitter/Extender (Female Input) Black. There is a link to it in my review of this product. My review is the 2nd "Most Helpful."

Yes, it can do this. I run Windows 7 and use this to stretch out my desktop, often running two windows, one in each screen. It requires two different types of cables to do so, so if you're deadset on dual HDMI ports, you should continue to look.

I think like AC, hardware proble. I use my 24" monitor and my tv. But i can use my display too. Press window key + P and choose duplicate or extend, than open the screen and you should have image in the display...

Yes, you could easily do that. You would tell monitor 1 and 2 to use "extended desktop" then tell 3 to duplicate 1 and tell 4 to duplicate 2. I just checked the settings on the one I'm using right now and it works just like you say. You would just need longer cables to reach the other location.

Not 100%, but understand all this thing does is stretch your desktop over two screens. Your display driver won't pick up the other monitors, it will just be like they are all part of one long monitor. It's really annoying and my co-worker that I got this for doesn't even use it because nothings snaps on the other displays. I might be wrong on some things though.

you'll need to consult your PC manufacturer to see if the mother board will support that. However, if your just cloning the image, there are several cheaper methods sold on Amazon for that. A VGA splitter would be the first thing to I think. You only need to change your video card if you want to extend across 2 monitors. Please check the internet for the difference in extending and cloning to see what's required. thanks and HNY

To echo the others' responses - yes, it allows different applications on all of the monitors. It essentially gives you one huge desktop. The best (and free) program to manage this is called "Display Fusion" which lets you "stretch" your wallpaper from one monitor to another. Here's a picture of my system (if Amazon allows links) http://www.flickr.com/photos/diannewood/8230467243/sizes/l/in/photostream/

What's your OS ?if win7 it'll be:control panel>appearance and personalization>display>screen resolution then click on "multiple displays" and select your option: show desktop only on monitor 1, only on monitor 2, duplicate these displays, extend these displaysworks for me.

I believe you asking if you can setup multiple monitors with in windows with this device, No, one input that is reproduced 4 times.

second part of your question: then you should configure your OS to either duplicate or extend the desktop.

Not unless your computer has the option to extend its display. Even so the two tv's would show the same image as this is a splitter...

Hi Donald, thank you for your question. Yes, the connected monitors can be configured to either mirror your main screen, or extend the Windows desktop, allowing visibility of more application at the same time. This HT-UD01 USB Display Dock can also be configured to be the primary display.

yes ,but the picture will not be the same for each one. as far as the fit on the screen. I connected one via usb to vga from my all in one , I connected one via vga from the back of pc to vga on monitor and one using the vge multi-port and they work great

It will extend your desktop too. It has some glitches like blacking out during high volume processing such as using ArcGIS tools. But for the price, it gets the job done. Next time I think I'll try a higher price product. The resolution with the VicTsing is actually better than plugging the second monitor into the Panasonic Toughbook's VGA connector!

I don't have that setup but I don't see why you wouldn't. There should be identical duplicate screens.

It that you can connect two monitors. Windows 7 will allow you to either duplicate/ replicate the desk top screen or extend the desk top onto the 2nd monitor as the others have mentioned. It typically works great. Most people extend their desktop allowing them more space for viewing/working.

duplicated the same signal, so computer could have multiple monitors but all same picture
