Can you set this up to have dual monitors? The docking station I have at work has 2 ports for monitors and I think this just has the one, right?

Yes. It has two ports. One is VGA connection and one is DVI. The EDock + has two DVI but you will have to pay more for it.

I am running Windows 7 and the docking station does support 2 external (1 - VGA and 1- DVI) external monitors on top of your laptop monitor. All in all, you can have three monitors active at any given time.

Yes you can. That is exactly my setup at work. You could also hdmi out to another independent monitor and usb out to another if you wanted. Thanks rMBP!

You can connect two displays with what comes in the box. You will need to buy mini active display port to whatever (hdmi, dvi etc) for each additional display. Active is important and, from what I remember, there are some adapters that say they are active and won't work.It was a while ago, but I used 8 Accell B087B from Amazon and that works fine.

According to several websites I have researched, as well as the user manual, you can run two monitors although I am not doing so. Also, it is compatible with the E5410. Here is a link to the user manual so you can download it and find out about using two monitors. ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_electronics/esuprt_docking_stations/e-prt_User%27s%20Guide_en-us.pdf

There are 2 DisplayPort plugs, 1 HDMI, 1 VGA and 1 DVI. I've had no problems running a dual-monitor setup, but I doubt that whatever humble business laptop you're docking this into has the GPU capability to simultaneously display on 4 monitors. A better question you should be asking yourself is why on earth would you want a quad-monitor setup for docking your laptop. Swordfish was just a movie dude.

Yes, you can i've used 4 docking stations in the last 15 years and they all have allowed this. However i can't say this is a feature of all docking stations but i would think so.

I have the E-Port Plus and use it in my home office. I highly recommend you purchase if you want to use dual monitors.

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.

Hello Matthew, I will say every connector is on this device because built in you have VGA, HDMI and a Display Port. You may say, what about DVI and while that is not built in, you can buy an additional cable to convert either the HDMI or the Display Port to DVI and for that matter you can get both and run 2 DVI monitors! These are great computers.

I bought this docking station and I do have two monitors hooked up to it. In fact that is why I bought the docking station! I can't answer what kinds of Dell laptops it will work with for you though.

This specific adapter will allow you to add 2 monitors to any setup you currently have. All you need is a USB port available (preferably USB 3.0).

Yes for one video output only. If you are trying to use this for dual monitors it is not capable without a docking station.

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

It does work with a docking station. I have it hooked up to a dock for my laptop and directly to a development PC. The dock has dual monitor since one monitor is connected directly to it, while the second monitor is connected to the KVM. My dev PC only has the 1 monitor, but that's all I need for that one.

I have 5 stations set up to work that way. The external monitor attaches to the dock. I've never had an issue with it

I'd say it has more to do with your hardware. In other words, if your computer has two monitor ports, one VGA and one DVI, then you could hook up two monitors easily, and use the respective cable for each monitor to do dual-head display. For example, my laptop only has one VGA port, but when I dock it, the docking port has two, so I can display on two monitors.
