Is it easy to switch between having the monitors show the same movie to having them show different movies? Thanks in advance.

It's pretty easy. The only hard part is the installation. You have to run a connection from monitor to monitor, but showing the same movie requires pushing 1 button on the remote.

Yes it is, there is a "source" button on the remote and it cycles thru all possible sources

Yes, it is very easy. You can switch on the monitor and the remote control. This is a fantastic system, and quite frankly, I was a bit surprised at the overall quality and ease of installation. I recommend using the You Tube videos and purchasing the fuse adaptor.

Yes, you can run two monitors, but one needs to use VGA cables, while the other needs HDMI cables. You'll see the same image on both screens. If you want separate images on each screen, you'll need to upgrade.

When you go to DEVICES in Windows 8 it shows connection for 2nd screen if connected. I have not done this but assume you would go one on VGA and the other on HDMI. I ASSume it should work that way.

I connected 3 monitors. One w/ DVI, One w/display port to DVI via a converting cable, and a hdmi to DVI using another converter cable. Windows 8 made it easy to get them the way I wanted.Cables not included.

No, each monitor must be set to a different channel so as to avoid interference issues. Then you can change the channel back and forth on one parent unit, or keep both parent units with you, each on the appropriate channel.

You will be mirroring the displays, not extending them. All monitors will have the same content.

Actually, you can just use 1 DVI cable, 1 HDMI cable and 1 Displayport cable for the other monitors. You need monitors that have the connections though.

I do not recall any switch on it (and do not see one from here- but it is difficult to view fully with computer tower, desk, etc. as is placed), but I use mine with one monitor, and it does not transfer to television screen (which I use it for instead of another monitor) unless I change the source for the television to it. I suspect (but do not know) you could do the same controlling the source....not sure, but found this online in case it pertains: http://superuser.com/questions/156058/how-can-i-share-a-monitor-between-two-computers Best wishes!

Suggestions....Does the problem migrate to a different HDMI port if you move the cable on the back of the AV Receiver? I also note that at times, the HDMI switching function command doesn't always work if I use a universal remote (eg Logitech, but it does if I use the factory Yamaha remote. Last but not least, I would also change out the cable. I have my Monitor on HDMI 1, DVR on 2, Chromecast on 3, DVD on 4. You should always put the monitor on HDMI 1.

it will be two separate outputs working one at a time. An example us using computer on one medium sized monitor and switching to large monitor to watch Hulu from computer. Hope thus helps.

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

My unit gets used daily and is working well. I set it up on installation and have no need to make adjustments however I vaguely recall manually selecting "toggling" through various options. I do not recall the option to input specific horizontal / vertical adjustments. There were many preset options and I eventually found the perfect resolution for my 50" display.

The box appears to be a simple switch for each input, with no conversion applied or even available. I have never tried to switch input and output video modes, and am unsure if that is possible on this box, as S-video requires signals that are not separately present in composite video. I have noticed no degradation of video quality using the switch for composite connections. So I agree with Mr. Carlson.

You do have to interact with a menu. It is simple and intuitive. I have never let it have access to only one movie at a time, so I cannot speak to its behavior when it only has access to one movie. Mine runs off a 500 MB hard drive with a couple hundred movies on it.

Hi, I haven't actually tried this myself and don't have a spare monitor home to attempt it. But if its not displaying to the second monitor after connection the hdmi port, try going to control panel and changing the display settings. Sometimes the settings for the display remains on the main monitor only and you have to set how you want the computer to handle the second monitor. You could usually set it to duplicate the same screen on two monitors with either both on or the main one off; or it can be set to span the desktop image accross the two displays.

This monitor switches automatically to first input with active signal. Manually switching between several active inputs can be achieved with a push of a button. So yes, I'd say it's as easy as it gets as long as monitors don't start to read minds :)

Just a note to anyone using their TV as a second monitor, if your REGULAR monitor is an LCD also and you use Windows you can't have a second ClearType setting for the other monitor. Watching movies etc is fine, but if you use a different style LCD TV the text may appear blurry. It's not a bad connection, just a windows thing :P I wasted a LOT of money connecting my Panasonic TV with all types of different cables before realizing this. Games, images, movies etc don't suffer, just text.
