only 1 monitor? Can this work if you only have 1 monitor or do you need a monitor on both PC's?

Yes, it will work with one monitor if XP is your OS. With Win-7 I believe you have to click something on each PC. Although, because I thought I would also have to click something, I just kept moving the monitor from one to the other without a hitch. (so should work for any OS with this method) I never needed to click anything on my old pc, but on my new one I had to go to "my computer" and click on "easysuite" drive. No instruction of any kind popped up, but wasn't needed. Once you've connected the cable, you just drag what you want to your new pc. (you only need one active monitor to do this - on the new pc) If you want to go faster you can copy and paste your desktop or your documents right to the new pc. (can't drag desktop or my documents) I transferred photos, movies, etc. , didn't work on any programs such as word, but you can just re-install these. One thing to remember, depending how you connect cable, your new pc may be "local host" or "remote host", (could be either, my new one was contrary to instructions) although it's easy enough to figure out by your contents. I moved files alphabetically to keep track as I went. (many files) This worked great for me xp to xp. Just bring a magnifying glass if you need to read the instructions. Hope this helps

I have it setup so that either of my laptops can use one central monitor. First you need to figure out what you want your central monitor to be, plug that central source into the VGA out, then the two devices you want to use this display would be plugged into the two in ports.

I recently just set mine up last night. I am using 3 monitors and had to go into the BIOS and enable onboard video to get the 3rd monitor to work. 2 of my monitors are plugged into the Video Card using 1 DVI and 1 HDMI and the 3rd is plugged into onboard DVI. Im assuming you could use the extra onboard VGA to hook up a 4th monitor if you needed to. If you didn't want to use VGA then you would have to install a 2nd video card in the machine.

Yes i connected 2 PCs to 2 Monitors. But this KVM is very very poor quality. My keyborad Keys get struck while typing and may times i have to restart my pc after switching for this KVM to recognize my input devices (just a keyboard and mouse). Move on to different one..its worth.

Hi Randal, I'm not sure if you mean 2 base units or 2 monitors. I have one base unit and 2 monitors and have no problems at all using both monitors at the same time. I don't know if 2 separate systems with 2 different base units would cause a problem, sorry I cant help with that.

it is designed to feed two monitors from a single computer. I do not know if it will work the other way.

No, you would need something else to use two monitors at once. This is used for switching between two monitors that are used one at a time.

This only allows one additional monitor to be plugged in. In addition to a currently running monitor. This will not allow you to run 2 monitors plus your standard monitor. It will only allow a +1 monitor

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

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.

What do you mean by 'a splitter'? If you mean having 2 connections off the DVI connection, then no. If you just mean use a DVI&gt;VGA adapter, so 1 monitor plugged into VGA port and another plugged into the adapter on the DVI, then yes. If you have 2 DVI only monitors, you should be able to use the DVI port for one and use a DVI&gt;HDMI cable to use the HDMI port for the other.

I think that the point of this device is to only need one monitor with two computers. I seem to remember only one socket for a monitor.

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?

Yes you can use dual monitors with it. bear in mind that the video card has the correct pin configuration. It is not the standard VGA connection to the computer

NO, it by itself will support two monitors. you would need a second video card to support a 3rd and potentially 4 monitor.I needed to get this video card, to go along with another video card that i had to support 3 monitors.But this card (GeForce GT 610 has been a great video card for me...no problems with it.

I did exactly that for a while, you have to cable each PC directly to the monitor. You then have to switch this device and switch the input on the monitor but it should work.

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.
