will this extend my monitor or just mirror the image? I want to drag windows back and forth between two monitors

On my computer this lets me drag windows back an forth between two monitors. Sounds like it is what you need.

I have 2 monitors that I use at work with this splitter. I can easily drag windows from one monitor to the other one, so I can view my accounting software as I'm working on a related Excel spreadsheet. The splitter is perfect for accomplishing this!

The additional monitors connected with this splitter will show exactly what you see on the computer's monitor. In order to extend the computer's desktop I believe you need to add another video card, and I don't think this is possible with a laptop unless the laptop has an expansion slot for "Express Card" expansion cards--you would need to buy an Express video card and put it in this slot and connect a second monitor to this card. Good luck.

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.

You could do that by opening 2 programs at the same time and shrinking each one to half size of the monitor. It makes for a smaller workspace on each one, but that is not a problem.

No. This will duplicate what you are seeing on one monitor to another one. It will not enable expanded desktops or separate monitor areas. Was pretty darn disappointing.

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 whether the laptop has the proper connection, however, this adapter will allow you to mirror the monitors not have an extended desktop.

If you have two monitors, you just uncheck mirror in display setting, it will become mirror off (Dual) mode (For Mac)

Yes it does. I actually hadn't tried yet, but I hooked in a third monitor and it detected it and gave the option to extend to the third montor.

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.

No this unit only has one hdmi port on it you will have to use a hdmi splitter but that would only mirror the image on to both monitors

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!

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.

Yes you can definitely extend the screen. This is what I have done with my Windows 8 system.

This kind of splitter will just duplicate the signal that it receives and then send the same picture to two displays, and won't help you extend your desktop spreading it out over multiple screens. It won't let you send two different pictures from one VGA port on your computer. This splitter cable will only help you in duplicating one signal that was sent out. It is useful for if you want to send a picture to both a monitor and a projector, or to two monitors on your desk, with one facing you and one facing a visitor... that sort of thing. However, if you're using a laptop which has both a built-in screen and a VGA port, the picture you send out through the VGA port doesn't have to be the same as what's on your laptop screen. This is a feature of the laptop itself. You can do the same on a desktop computer which has support for multiple video outputs.

Hi,it should function like a mirror but we 've never tried this monitor.My husband bought it & never installed ):

The screen it is made for is slightly wider than it is tall. I just turned the monitor sideways (so it's now taller than wide) and I can see the entire screen from every angle, so no it will not work that way. The "lines" that cause the blocking only go in one direction so it won't work that way.
