can i use this splitter to run dual monitors from a docking station?

We used it to run dual monitors from a PC. I would think the answer to your question would be yes, but I am not sure. For folks with laptops & docking stations, we didn't need to buy splitters, but I do not know why.

I use it to extend the desktop from my laptop to another monitor and it works just fine. I don't have personal experience beyond that. If you are extending to more monitors than the main and one more, you may be able to use two adaptors; just a guess.

I think that is more up to your graphics card and cables than the docking station. Some DVI systems can split to two monitors with a cable splitter and with the VGA that would make 3 but if your DVI is as a single monitor it will only do 2 monitors. I have only two. One DVI and one VGA hooked up in the back.

What do you mean by 'a splitter'? If you mean having 2 connections off the DVI connection, then no. If you just mean use a DVI>VGA adapter, so 1 monitor plugged into VGA port and another plugged into the adapter on the DVI, then yes.If you have 2 DVI only monitors, you should be able to use the DVI port for one and use a DVI>HDMI cable to use the HDMI port for the other.

That's what we used it for. You'll need a splitter cable - and the end that goes into the card has a bazillion pins (ok, 60) - not standard DVI plug. The other ends of the splitter can be DVI. See "DMS-60/LFH-60 to Dual DVI Y-Splitter Cable Converter for Dual Monitor"

No, this is for using 1 computer with displayport out to 2 monitors. It's not a switchbox for switching between 2 computers.

It looks like you can output 2 digital signals and 1 analog signal. For my case, I have 2 DisplayPorts and 1 VGA monitor working when hook up to the dock. When adding another DVI or HDMI monitor separately, it didn't come up at all. It might display a fourth monitor if you could get an adapter that converts USB to DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort.

as long as the pc has a female dms-59 connector this splitter will send the signal to one or two vga monitors

No this will show one thing on 2 separate displays. For example, if you pull up Facebook, it will be shown on both monitors. You need a separate port on the computer or a switching device to be able to do what you want. I, too, purchased this thinking it would "split" the display.

sorry, I used it to hook up a second monitor I don't know if it would work for you

Yes, I have one of the four ports connected to my Lenovo T410 laptop with a docking station running dual monitors with no problem. The docking station had a VGA port and a display port.

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

Yes you can. I use dual monitors with my docking station. One is connected to the laptop VGA or HDMI output and the other is connected to the dock. I keep my laptop closed and only use the monitors. One is set up as a mirror of the desktop. Hope this helps.

yes i believe it can. i haven't looked into the adapter for the second monitor cable but we use 2 at work with the same dock.

as others have replied this would not work for multiples screens. and any splitter would mirror the screen. would need a video card capable of multiple outs or multiple video cards.
