will this cord allow me to plug into back of my desktop, and into a second monitor via VGA to run as a dual monitor? Again, I have Multiplicity instal

No, it will not. This is a USB to serial connector. Although serial and VGA look similar, they are completely different connectors.
607991
No, this is a serial to USB adapter. It has nothing to do with VGA or video.
607992
no you need to use a VGA cable not USB or serial. I got this cable to use with APC backup which uses a serial port and all my latest PCs that I have built have NO serial port. I think the last time I had a pc with a serial port was 1997

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. :)

I used this device for (2) computers, each computer had a DVI and a VGA and was using those ports for dual monitors.This device allowed me to switch between the two computers on both monitors for each.Based on that, I believe if you used the DVI on one channel, and then the VGA on the other channel, that this would work.That being said, you may be better off just getting a DVI-VGA adapter and using a cheap switch.

Good question, you should be able to run one through the monitor plug and one plugged into the HDMI port.

I'm not sure what you are asking when writing about an external monitor and then about main monitor. This device can only work with a single monitor that can be connected to either a desktop or to the laptop.

Hello Peter. The Pro Series VGA Monitor Y Cable should work if you add another monitor to it.

I tested this by pulling the power cord from the back while it is tied into my computer via DVI connection, waited a moment and then plugged it back in. It came back on to the same input to what I was viewing on the computer screen. So I would say it will do what you want based on this. Good Luck

This cable will only duplicate 2 monitors. You will have your main screen example if you are using this on a laptop. Then you will have your laptop screen and you will have a extra screen on two monitors. Both of these monitors will display the same thing. If you want 3 separate monitors you will need another video card. I know they have a few Usb video card options

We use 2 Monitors with it. One plugged into the HDMI the other via RGB extending or duplicating the desktops works as it should. All scenarios have worked so far so we have 3 screens essentially and it works a treat. Ours came with no software. We have installed 8.1 and Office 2010 and all works as it should.

It depends on what you are trying to do. You CAN'T go from a VGA output from your computer to a digital input on the monitor. I ended up not using this adapter and buying a new, plain vanilla video card with two HDMI outputs, and connecting my monitors with HDMI cables. ( P.S., this was a snap; there was futzing around involved at all).

I'm running dual monitors on my GeForce GT 520 and in response to your question I tried using the HDMI-VGA adapter from my laptop but there's not enough space to insert my adapter due to the chassis and VGA connectors. I use this adapter with my laptop for an additional monitor so I'd expect to work on a desktop. Try contacting tech support at evga.com/support

First, please know that I am far from expert on this (or any electronics). That said, there is a monitor plug. I don't know if it can be used in tandem. I started using this as a port == I have various things attached to it, and now I just have the one thing to plug into my laptop. I found a user manual here -- perhaps it will answer your question better... http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03123989.pdf

Hi, that shoud be work, but probably you need a second graphic controller. Or you have a graphic controller the can controled two high resolution screens. The have DVI-D interface only! I use him on my laptop with adaptor DVI-D to Display port. (With USB power supply) Its working fine.

You cannot plug in VGA directly to this. The built in connection is a similar multi-pin connection called DVI. However, I've used a few different brands and styles of DVI-VGA cables and adapters and the work just fine. DVI is supposedly a higher quality/superior connection, but I can't visually tell a difference in any of my uses. The adapters can add bulk to the back of the connection so consider that. I'm sure there are also mini display to VGA adapters as well, but I've never used them.

No, it will not. It will only allow you to see the same image on two monitors. It is only electrically copying the output.

Hi Zod,Yep, it does. I just plugged the DVI port into one monitor and the HDMI into another and my desktop is extended beautifully across both.It seems to default to the DVI as the primary.Hope that helps.
