I am wanting to use this to hook up 2 external monitors with my laptop. Does this product support extended desktops?

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.

We are using it to switch the signal between DirecTV box and desktop PC and send it to two large TVs which act as monitors... Image is the same on on both TV-Monitors. It usually works but it is not very stable and signal often drops when sending image from PC so we normally use it only for TV box signal projection.

This specific adapter will allow you to add 2 monitors to any setup you currently have. All you need is a USB port available (preferably USB 3.0).

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

Hello Yakov. The unit comes with an installation CD which has the drivers. It's quite an easy install process. In my "original" setup, my laptop was display 1 and my other monitor attached to my VGA output was display 2. With this new unit attached to a USB port, I now have display 3. Yes, it will work. :)

It works great for USB 3.0 on my Mac Mini. I have not tried adding a second monitor so I cannot answer that part of your question.

I am running Windows 7 and the docking station does support 2 external (1 - VGA and 1- DVI) external monitors on top of your laptop monitor. All in all, you can have three monitors active at any given time.

Not 100%, but understand all this thing does is stretch your desktop over two screens. Your display driver won't pick up the other monitors, it will just be like they are all part of one long monitor. It's really annoying and my co-worker that I got this for doesn't even use it because nothings snaps on the other displays. I might be wrong on some things though.

It is for Desktops. It will allow you to have up to four monitors connected to a Desktop. I installed on a Windows 7 computer.

I just tried it with Windows 7 and it worked. I used the HDMI port on the left and the VGA port on the right. I believe when you do this you can no longer your the laptop screen (as a 3rd screen). Now maybe if you have the laptop docked you could run 3 monitors but not 100% sure

It works with a VGA external port (using the hardware functionality) and also if you have a more modern laptop it works even better with the Micro-HDMI and Windows configured to duplicate monitors.

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.

The video card should support dual screen. If you are asking about extending your desktop across 2 monitors, then that is video card software driven. If you are asking about showing your desktop on two monitors, again that is video card software driven. The video card that came with my system is a Nivida Gforce NTX650. If you right click on the desktop you should see Nivida Control Panel which controls the video card software. My card came with 2 video outputs, but you may have to get an adapter to get two monitors to work. Hope this helps.

Hi Patricia - Yes it should work. I had the same issue with a laptop docking station. I use this to add a second VGA monitor and it works great!

I'm sorry but this is a splitter which will have monitor #1 mirror monitor #2. You want to have 2 VGA connections on your PC to extend desktop. You can also use a HDMI connection along with a VGA connection to extend.

On Windows 7 it does support up to two. However, on Linux Mint 17 I was able to connect three monitors to this card on extended desktop using the xorg open source driver. (This card needed to be set as primary though in BIOS to do so.) I am not sure if three is okay for the hardware though given that the ATI proprietary driver does not allow for three monitors (only two) in Windows 7.

It will work with any avail USB port you have. I currently use two to allow me to have 3 monitors connected. If you have a usb port avail, you can plug it in

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.
