Can you go onto your computer and use display options to extend the monitor usage to four different monitors? (a.k.a. add monitor display extensions)
1059706
no it only duplicates a second video image. you can extend but only to the duplicated image
1059707
Yes - whatever output capabilities you have on your computer can be done with this. If you want to mirror or extend the monitor, that will work.

Not sure what display monitor extensions are, however I guess that it is something to enable viewing 4 different signals on 4 different displays. This is a Distribution Amplifier. It will take one signal in, and display that same signal on up to 4 displays. If you want to see 4 different signals on 4 different displays, you'll likely have to use 4 different computers, or perhaps 4 different video cards in one computer - with the appropriate software.

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

Nic, I bought this unit for use in my church. I currently have it attached to my iMac, and displaying on a secondary monitor, a projector, and a tv in the lobby. So, yes, it does add 4 monitor display extensions. But, all 4 monitors display the secondary monitor feed you send them from the main computer. You don't have individual control over each display. Hope that helps.

no. this device willduplicate the same thing on all four monitors. whatever signal you run into it will be duplicated on all four displays. if you want to extend your desktop, spanning it over four different displays would require a video card on your computer disigned for four seperate outputs.
1059712
not with this device: this is ONE input, FOUR outputs - and each of those four is the sameIf you want multiple monitors you need multiple video cards
1059713
No. This product only splits one video source to multiple displays. One in, four out. We use it to replicate our computer display output to a desktop monitor, two projectors and a stage monitor for Sunday worship services.
1059714
This device will only replicate whatever you are sending to up to 4 other devices. It has one input (your source send) and 4 outputs to replicate that source send.
1059715
In short, no. This is strictly a Distribution Amplifier. Takes one input and sends that signal and send out 4 independent amplified signals. You cannot spread/stretch the single input out over the 4 outputs. They have several new items out there, our company is presently utilizing the "Triple Head To Go" system. Hopefully this is helpful.

Yes, I just tried as you described using my Dell Latitude E5530 and was able to extend desktop onto two monitors (one via adapter, other connected to VGA port) while utilizing the laptop display.

I am using the monitor on a Windows based (Gateway) computer. It works as any other monitor (except it is large) and the use of the number of windows that can be opened depends on the operating system. So, if you are using Windows, you can display as many as the computer can generate. I have a similar ViewSonic monitor as a secondary screen on my iMac, and it also displays as many windows as the system can generate.

Yes. You can run up to 3 (verified) monitors at a time the HDMI and two dvi.

Yes. In my six-monitor setup, I have it setup as four monitors, 3 individual (separate) displays across the top and as a three-across single 5076x1280 display across the bottom. The bottom three monitors act as one large display (great for gaming). What is nice is that while there are times you want to "span" monitors, sometimes you want individual displays instead and the Eyefinity software (for my AMD card) makes this easy to switch back and forth. Note that if your ATI (or Nvidia) card supports three simultaneous outputs out-of-the-box then you might not need this hub, but yes, you can stretch across monitors just fine.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that? I have always just used one monitor for two computers.

Yes, I currently have two monitors hooked up to my computer. We have 2 DVI hooked up by using a DVI adaptor on the VGA output.

I've seen it work using 4 monitors. Their data sheets say it will work with up to 6 monitors. There may be some restrictions depending on your systems graphics capability. I use it in a 3 monitor environment. Two 21" monitors on connected to the PC the other to the USB graphics and a 3rd 24" monitor plugged into my computer. I would think newer computers wouldn't have a problem with it but always the caveat that not all computer systems are equal. I've read enough that if you are using a laptop to drive this you won't get more than 4 monitors in most cases and that includes the one on the laptop. Hope this helps.

You most definitely can. In a matter of fact. I have 3 Dell monitors as well. Keep in mind that you will have to get a DVI-I splitter in order to split one of your DVI inputs.

Well there is a DVI output, HDMI output and two mini HDMI outputs. As long as you have one for each you could probably run 4 different monitors. Though I honestly don't know how well it would do it. I do know it runs two monitors flawlessly though.

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.

Thanks Mary. It turns out the caveat to that 4xsupport is that if your monitor/tv doesn't have a display port so that you are using an adapter to DVI/HDMI/VGA it must be an ACTIVE adapter to support 4 monitors...not a passive one which is cheaper.

It will give you the ability to have 2 monitors plugged in as an extended desktop. I run it on my MacBook air and have 2 external monitors set up. It shows a display resolution of 3840 x 1080 now and works great
907386
yes u can as long as u kno how to do it that is....i ran up to 3 monitors with the help of that same vid 2 runing off the vid card and 1 strate from the tower itself so yeh u can run 1, 2 or 3 if u like.

Yes, you can have each monitor showing something different. Each monitor can be at different resolution. For example, I have one monitor that is 4k while the other monitors are not. I have some monitors that are the same size and some that are not. I have one monitor that is always playing a movie while the others are doing other things.

It depends on the desktop settings. In most operating systems you can specify the second monitor (which is how it is identified) is in extend desktop mode or mirror mode.

hi,i just have 2 monitors, but 3 monitors in surround+1monitor on something else seems to be possible, nvidia has some explanations about how to do it, i have never set up that kind of configuration, hope i could help morehttp://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/how-to-correctly-configure-geforce-gtx-680-surround#1
