How many displays can be supported for including the laptop display? Currently I am speaking of a Lenovo Helix that will be used.

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 two external monitors attached to HooToo, plus a third monitor attached to laptop. (all three are Asus PA238QR) With the laptop monitor, that's a total of 4 monitors. See my review with picture.

The previous commentor is correct. This laptop is limited ... but it is a fun little tool. Hope you choose to get it and pursue adapter options.

Thanks ioioi210. That's pretty lame that they advertise support for dual monitors then. While technically you can have two monitors lit up, I don't think most people are looking for mirrored displays.

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

I don't believe that this monitor (or any monitor) will display through a usb connection. You will need to use vga, rca,rgb, dvi, or hdmi. your best bet with a laptop is either hdmi or vga.

Yes. The Helix is a laptop pc that works as a tablet when the screen is detached. Only consideration I can think of is how much storage capacity you need as the maximum offered is 256 GB of which about 180 GB is available so you may need to use some form of external storage depending on your requirements.I would also add this model is a steal at its current price. You could spend the same amount on a top of the line iPad and not have anywhere near the capability the Helix has.

Yes, exactly. I have a Lenovo laptop but otherwise exactly as you say: Mini Display Port to HDMI.

Anthony, I don't know where Messer was getting their info, but the 600 series can actually drive 4 displays and does so flexibly. It is not required that they all share a common resolution either, refresh rate, etc. You can connect any 4 displays of different resolutions.

Most Windows PCs will drive only 2 monitors, some of the newer ones will support 2 external monitors plus the laptop display at the same time, although not all will do this.A special usb to dvi/hdmi box is about $50, I use 2 of those for 3 full monitors plus the laptop display. Do t forget you wont have touch without a touch monitor...

There is also a DVI output but I have not used multiple displays. However if I had to bet my life on it I would bet that if there are multiple outputs you would be able to use 2 monitors.

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 have an HP laptop and this device gave me three monitor capabilities. I can use the laptop's screen as well as a monitor connected to the laptop's VGA port and another monitor connected to this USB device's VGA port. So counting the laptop's monitor, I have three screens available when using this device. All I had to do was load the software that came with this device and then connect it to a USB. While setting up the dual monitors, which is all that I had expected to be able to use, I found out I could also use my laptop's screen. I have a docking station for my HP at home and the software only sees two external monitors. I don't use a docking station in the office and I can use all three screens.

While all of my current systems (4 laptops) have both VGA and either DVI or HDMI connections (the key reason I purchased this specific switch), I've had some success with different interface converters. The HDMI computer uses a HDMI-DVI adapter cable, and I've used DVI-VGA before with a dual VGA KVM that preceeded this unit. However, you'll need to do careful research on selecting a DVI-VGA converter and on your monitor's DVI signal capability before going this route. Most of the DVI-VGA adapters are converting from DVI-A to VGA, not from DVI-D; DVI-D is the standard output for most DVI ports. Most monitors also only accept the DVI-D input. In order to convert from DVI-D to VGA you'll need to insure that your converter can produce the high-frequency VGA signal required to drive a full HD VGA display. Most do not reach full HD bandwidth, leaving one monitor with a lower-res screen. In my case, using Lenivo T-420 laptops on two of the input pairs, the Lenovo docking platform provides a stable HD VGA output as well as DVI-D ports. This is how I connect both DVI and VGA ports on the KVM. As I said earlier, my choice of this KVM was dictated by the ubiquity of a stable HD VGA port being available on all systems, and DVI-D conversion from HDMI being the only other problem I had to address. The KVM will support DVI-A through-links...if your monitors support DVI-A or you can use a DVI-A to VGA connection, you might look at a switch that is dual DVI (A+D) and just pass the VGA through on the -A pins of the DVI port.

1. Yes, it will support two external monitors. 2. The dock plugs into an available USB 3.0 port on your laptop. Please check with Plugable for your configuration.

Depends what ports are on your laptop. This monitor has a VGA output only. so if you dont have a vga port, then you cant use this monitor. (technically you could.. but it would cost alot for converters and it would be better just to get another monitor). So google what a vga looks like.

I use two all the time at home on my HP laptop, powered by a USB hub. It's great having 3 screens! I even had three connected to it at once. I uploaded the pic ( users pics of the device ).
