Works fine in "Set as Extended" mode, but doesn't work in "Set as Mirror" mode. Dell Vostro with Windows XP and max resolution 1280 x 1024. Any ideas?

Mine is terrible. Horrible resolution and delayed sound. This product is worthless.

Not sure, I am running Win-7 and all is fine. I know the unit works great as I have watched countless videos off my 7 year old Dell laptop with no problems. I have upgraded the old hard drive to an SSD as you ne d the speed for files coming off the disk to the unit. With the old hard drive, it sometimes stuttered but that may have been the old CPU holding it back. I am very high tech level and know the unit works great if used properly and with decent other gear set up correctly. I no longer have any PCs running XP so I can't test it for you but it is working great here on both 7 and 8.2 machines. I highly recommend the product. If you can set up a second monitor out of you Dell, then try mirrored mode with that. If that doesn't work either, then your problem is with your laptop or Windows install. If it does work, I can't say why the convertor setup is not as mine works fine... Great picture too...

Try restaring your computer sometimes i do that with mine too and when you see the little blue icon on the bottom of your computer poping up just click on it and set it as a mirrow it might take sometimes to work onces you get it to work when you are done with it just unpluged so next time when you use it it will automatictly appear but still will take few minutes to appear on your Tv

This should not be a problem :) when we hooked ours up to the laptop and set monitor settings to "mirror image" our 32" TV screen now was like a large monitor.

i am displaying my Dell E6520 on dual 24" monitors connected via std VGA cables coming off the e/port. can't say how your configuration will work but mine is flawless and the extended desktop improves productivity greatly. note: only one monitor will have the start button and taskbar unless you install a utility like multimon or similar.

Dear C. B. Huynh, I have the same error. According to this forum here: http://forum.videohelp.com/topic335194.html this is standard since the max resolution is 720 x something. Hope this helps, Thomas

I am also experiencing this issue with the same monitor you describe and have yet to find a solution. Clicking the Option key as described in one answer below does not solve it. Nor do any of the solutions like this one work for me: http://www.itcentralpoint.com/dell-u2713-full-resolution-problems-on-osx-mavericks. Have you found a solution Amit P.?

Check the settting on your labtop and see if you have (Dual View mode setting). Check your manual. Mr.G

Sorry, I don't know. I haven't set it up. My other Dell XP did work for dual monitors with a download program. I wasn't really happy with it through.

Your screen may be extended instead of mirrored. If it is a Mac, go to System Preferences-&gt;Displays. Click on "Arrangement" and choose "mirror displays". If you use Ubuntu linux, the interface is in a similar location. It might also be similar in Windows but this depends on whether the manufacturer of your laptop included a custom controller for the displays or if it uses the Windows native display option.

On Windows 7 and XP, the default video spanning will take ALL screen space and treat it as one contiguous display. If you run windowed programs, what you suggested should work. I did have it showing a movie on that display while doing other work on my other 2. Hope this helps.

I cannot get any picture on the 2nd moniter. I am positive I have all DPcables connected properly, yet nothing on moniter 2 It just displays the same maddening message: "No DP connecter". I have ordered the $76+tax Startech MSTMDP122DP Mini DisplayPort to 2x DisplayPort Multi Stream Transport Hub. Pissed off here. Dell effed up with these monitors

You must have the correct software on your Dell , set to record to dvd or cd . Windows 7 has a good one.

This is for a much older Dell. It was purchased in 2002. I believe Vostro is a newer model and they take DDR2 or DDR3 SDRAM memory. You would also need to know if you are upgrading the memory, what is the maximum upgrade amount you can go. i.e. if you have 2G memory, can you go to 4, 6, or more? Only Dell can tell you that. They were always fairly forthcoming with information about what I could or could not do with my Dell. Give them a call.

Agreed! We like out Dell as well! We use ours very portable and have not tried hooking it up to an external monitor. However, have you tried going to "Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution" and adjusted the resolution settings? I've often used this at work to use various laptops with various viewing hardware in conference rooms including old 36" tube TV's and have generally found a resolution that works from the controls of the laptop operating system. Windows 7 has 15 different resolution settings. Older version do not have that many if I remember correctly. Anyway, good luck and I hope you find a solution.

I Googled this unit. The Viewsonic is not in my possession currently (a workshop monitor). Anyway it states at Overclock.net this: "Description:D-Sub: 1 DVI: 1 Stand Adjustments: Tilt Built-in Speakers: No HDCP Support: Yes Recommended Resolution: 1920 x 1080 Brightness: 300 cd/m2 Contrast Ratio: 1200:1Looks like no audio. So it's designed to run as a replacement for a desktop pc, or as part of a non-integrated system.

the video drivers for the video control the resolution of the display. According to dell the screen will support a resolution up to 1280x800. I hope this helps you. Bob M.
