Can one USB 2.0 port on a laptop be split with USB hub to support 4 video adapters/monitors?

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

I would say most likely. I am currently using 2 video adapters for 2 monitors.

I'm not exactly sure.....here is my setup:1 - laptop native display1 - hdmi out FROM laptop1 - hdmi out FROM this universal hubalthough from their picture - looks like they have 2 monitors connected to the hub (1 is hdmi, the other might be the DVI port)

I have seen plugable videos where utilizing a USB 3.0 hub the owner of plugable uses several of the single adapters to have 7 monitors off of one computer. I wouldn't think this is any different. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYUdAWOGJ_Y

There should be no problem as long as you have an SVGA video port on each laptop.

No. With only one DP port, it can't do that. You would need a hub or additional outputs from your video card

Yes as previously said you would need active adapters. Not sure if you already know this but a splitter just recreates the same image on 2 screens. If you want 4 monitors displaying 2 monitors worth of images then yes that would work. If you want 4 separate images on each monitor then you need active adapters for each port.

There are two ports. One is a USB 2.0 and the other is a combo eSATA/USB 2.0. I satisfy the need for more with a hub.

Yes, I do it all the time. There are only 3 USB ports, 1 on the left and 2 on the right. But you can plug in a 4 port hub expander if you need to.

You can use this device connected to a USB 3.0 hub. I use it with the Plugable 7 port USB 3.0 hub with two monitors and the Ethernet connected and it works great.

correction..... I read the question too fast. I have no problems with the 3rd monitor. 2 works fine - 1 external and the laptop as the 2nd. sorry for the confusion

No, this is impossible with a USB Hub. The functionality you want can be achieved with a KVM Switch (just search on Amazon), or if you want to try it with Software, try checking out http://synergy-project.org/

If you are going to want to charge devices, you'll have to get a power adapter to use with the hub. Right now it will split the 5V coming from the laptop into however many devices are plugged in.

You would need an additional hub then. This only provides a micro usb (on your PC side) to connect two full USB ports. The other connection on this is a micro usb female for a power connection (similar to a phone charger) to supply power to the connected usb devices. I would suggest a Bluetooth mouse to avoid the additional usb need and then this would work for you.

A couple of the answers are not correct.Requirements are:A. one USB 3.0B. USB 2.0 MIGHT require two, MIGHT work with just one (will depend on you port)C. One USB 2.0 and an external power supply (Not included), if one USB 2.0 isn't enough and a second USB 2.0 isn't available.
