I am not sure, I don't believe there is a USB or HDMI connection on the monitor.

Yes, not a problem, if you have a VGA output on your latptop. If it's DVI, you'll need to buy a cable. If it's HDMI, you're S.O.L.

Yes you can. I have one set up with a DVI cable as my main monitor and the secondary monitor is set up using a VGA cable.

Yes. Use a Standard DVI cable which most new laptops support or you will have to buy a converter.

Absolutely, as long as you have the proper adapter. There are supposedly display ports but I've yet to find any cables that go from the display port in the laptop to the monitor. HDMI or DVI will work. I suggest DP to DVI.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to do so for two reasons1. This monitor requires two USBs (one for power and the other for more power and the signal)2. This monitor requires DisplayLink drivers which are only available for Mac, PC, and a couple variations of Linux as far as I now

Presuming you have a VGA port on both the computer and the monitor. Considering it is the most common type of connection for computers and monitors, it's safe to assume you can.

Connect the two with an HDMI cable. Then tell laptop to go to 2nd monitor..

it is FROM HDMI -> TO VGA - not from VGA to HDMI (different cable)You can connect HDMI port on your laptop to VGA monitor but not the other way . Hope this helps

As long as your laptop has a VGA output, you can connect it to your laptop.If your laptop has a DVI or HDMI output, you will need a DVI to VGA or an HDMI to VGA converter. You can use any converter no matter how inexensive it is, because this monitor accepts a digital VGA signal. I personally use it for my desktop (which has a VGA output) and my PlayStation 3 (which I use a cheap HDMI to VGA converter for, and it works perfectly).

Yes, I had this connected to two external monitors. So was able to use the two external monitors and my laptop's monitor.

So long as the laptop has a dual link dvi output. The resolution of the monitor REQUIRES a dual link dvi. Little adapters and stuff do not work. And DL-DVI is the only available input option for the monitor. So again, unless your laptop has a dual link dvi output, this monitor is not for you.

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

Hello, I do not think that you would be able to connect an additional monitor unless there is a way to do that by USB

It should work just fine. You will need to go into Screen Resolution and Extend the monitor. After connecting, be sure to reboot your laptop.

No. It will only let you connect one monitor at a time. Recommend getting a dual display port adapter.

not sure about two external monitors, but you can run dual monitors when you count your laptop display as one of the two monitors.

The monitor is a "slave" to your desktop/laptop and does have an hdmi port. If your desktop/laptop supports hdmi format you're ready to "plug & play" with this monitor.
