Will this allow me to extend my computer display to two additional monitors? Not duplicate, but extend?

Hi Spencer, The device is an HDMI signal splitter - one HDMI signal in, Two HDMI signals out. For example, I use mine to connect the HDMI output of my cable TV box to two televisions.There does not appear to be any signal amplification. The HDMI signal level into each of the two televisions appears to be the same as that out of the cable TV box.The "operating" length of the HDMI cable would be approximately the same as that directly out of the cable TV box.Art

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

No. There is just a single input on the splitter. It allows you to have the same screen view on two separate DVI monitors, but it is not capable of providing the ability to dispay two separate programs or files at the same time.

It will extend, but the extended desktop will be duplicated (or quadruplicated in this case) in all four monitors. This doesn't create 4 screens that sequentially extend your desktop.

i have never tried that, but the instruction state that you can have up to 6 monitors.

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

As far as what I have read on another site it can support 2 but for the third monitor you would need an adapter.hope this helps.

Yes...this is exactly what I did. I already had one monitor hooked up to my pc with a regular vga cable. I wanted to add a second monitor and the only video port I had left on my pc was an hdmi port. So I plugged the hdmi end of this adaptor into the back of the pc and attached the vga cable of the second monitor to vga side of this adaptor...so far, it works perfectly and both monitors work. Hope this helps.

I do not know, since I use a dedicated cable for my extended monitor, however, I doubt it. This device is a "dumb" device....it does not recognize MAC addresses, nor does it communicate any meaningful information which would allow your computer to differentiate between screens. All of your extended monitors will show the same content. If you want 4 different monitors with independent content you'll need to add additional ports to your box or find a different device to do it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it can. I plan to get a third monitor. If you connect two together, I believe only one can output though...

It will extend the screen just like any dual-monitor capable video card would. I tried it on mine just to double check!

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.

it will just duplicate it to another moniter, and you just see double but if have large monitor it would work.

Go to your control panel and look under display. If your laptop shows the option of extending your screen over multiple monitors then your laptop HAS the capability of doing so. Most laptops provide this option. However, as I've never used this device I cannot say for certain that it would work this way. I did want to correct some of the previous incorrect answers however in terms of capability.

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.

Yes, you could easily do that. You would tell monitor 1 and 2 to use "extended desktop" then tell 3 to duplicate 1 and tell 4 to duplicate 2. I just checked the settings on the one I'm using right now and it works just like you say. You would just need longer cables to reach the other location.

As far as I know, no it cannot. It is also not SLI capable, so you cannot add a second cars to support 3 monitors.
