I have a dell 660s, win 8.1, and VGA monitor. Can I use this to connect 2nd VGA monitor to the HDMI port and use both monitors at same time?

Oh this is a fantastic device. I use this for my laptop that does not have VGA port. It not only provide video, it does provide sound too. Great device.Yes you can use this as a second monitor. I use it for my laptop to projector for Karaoke.

Nope. One should do you just fine. Your computer should us the existing display driver for the first one then this will drive the second monitor.

I am using mine as a dual display card. It has one VGA port and one HDMI, so at least one monitor must support HDMI. Windows 8 takes care of the rest. No other hardware or software required. I don't know about earlier versions of windows.

No don't work with 2 monitors simultaneously, only with one on HDMI or DVI.

no, you can get a special adapter and split the two monitors. it only has one hdmi port, no dvi or vga connections so if you want good resolution you need a graphics card with two ports i would recommend getting a dedicated graphics card with two ports,, if you split each monitor would be splitting up the resolution because it would be a single output stretched across two monitors, i use one and it works fine, and windows 8.1 comes preinstalled, dell and windows will automatically update it for you,, if you want Microsoft office you have to pay $70 for it and there's an app for that.

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&gt;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&gt;HDMI cable to use the HDMI port for the other.

Dell has two monitor slot on a single graphic card. In that case yes you can hook up two monitor at a time.Dell is very users friendly in the matter of dual monitor use.

Yes, there is a DVI port and a VGA port so you can connect 2 monitors at once: both digital & analog.

Hi, Yes you can. This unit has DVI, VGA and HDMI ports to plug in your monitors and Windows 8 supports multiple monitors. Thanks, PCrush

When you go to DEVICES in Windows 8 it shows connection for 2nd screen if connected. I have not done this but assume you would go one on VGA and the other on HDMI. I ASSume it should work that way.

Tom - you'd have to connect each PC to BOTH ports, a DVI and VGA. For example, my Dell laptop docking stations all have both DVI and VGA outputs, so I can switch back and forth between my two laptops and each gets both monitors. Pretty sure that if you just connect the DVI jack to your computer you will only have one monitor, not two.

No, Only two. VGA And choose any other hdmi port or dvi port. excellent video quality output though.

It has an HDMI port so you should be able to use dual monitors with a monitor that has an HDMI port.

you don't need this to do that, all you need is to plug in an external monitor into the VGA port and if it has sufficient memory it can access both monitors without this cable

You can only use 1 at a time. I am not sure how the adaptor will pick which port has priority but I know the full size display port has priority over the DVI port. The frame rate is perfect. This is not a USB port so the mini display port is like having an extra DVI, Display or HDMI port on the computer. Your Video Card will need to support the number of Monitors you plan to use. I have a Nvidia K1000M and it supports up to 3 monitors. I am using the 2 built in ports on my computer plus this for a total of 3 monitors.

I use a displayport to DVI cable to connect DS81 with a Samsung monitor. Everything works great. I have not try the HDMI though for dual displays.

Possibly, but I'm not sure. I only have connected to single monitor.Check with Dell support forums.
