If I buy 2 of these will I be able to use 2 external monitors and the laptop display on my dell precision m6500 while in its docking station?

Which docking station do you have? If it's the PR02X, then it already has two DVI ports.

A better choice is a Dell E-Port dock. It uses the large port that is on the bottom of your Latitude laptop. I have a Latitude e6530 and it works great with the E-Port. If you get the E-Port Plus, you can run dual monitors. I just ordered one from ebay (they are also available on Amazon) for $40.

Depends on the laptop. My HP8770W will work with 4 monitors setup as an extended desktop. I am using the laptop monitor and the Display Port, DVI, and VGA on the docking station. For best results, all monitors should support the same max resolution ( 1920x1080). The only problem I have is that the monitor on the display port does not recognize the signal on initial boot. I have to disconnect it and reconnect for that display to be recognized.

Can't get it to run both monitors. Have one in the J5 and other one plugged into laptop. Sort of defeats purpose of a docking station

Not concurrently, in my experience. It will let you toggle between 2, if you have 3 connected. If you want to have a third monitor for basic 2-D stuff, you might get one of those add on USB-DVI/VGA devices, but they are CPU intensive.

I am currently using 2 of these along with my Lenovo laptop (total 3 screens) in my home office. The USB ports on the laptop did not have enough power to run both of them at the same time, so I used a powered USB hub that I already had. Works great as a 3 monitor setup.

i am displaying my Dell E6520 on dual 24" monitors connected via std VGA cables coming off the e/port. can't say how your configuration will work but mine is flawless and the extended desktop improves productivity greatly. note: only one monitor will have the start button and taskbar unless you install a utility like multimon or similar.

No, I built this as a editing machine for solid works, and at my last job had two thunderbolt displays connected daisy chaining two more externals. In total I have 4 monitors running on this computer without issue. The ports are at a standard distance way from each other that two thunderbolt cables connect perfectly.

It looks like you can output 2 digital signals and 1 analog signal. For my case, I have 2 DisplayPorts and 1 VGA monitor working when hook up to the dock. When adding another DVI or HDMI monitor separately, it didn't come up at all. It might display a fourth monitor if you could get an adapter that converts USB to DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort.

We have the 2 monitors on this dual stand connected to a USB docking station via DVI & HDMI input & then the USB connection to our Dell laptop. I would think it would work the same on a Mac.

I have a Dell Inspiron 660, Win 7, that I currently have 4 monitors running now. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Yes. One will need to be plugged into the docking station. The other one will need to be plugged into the right side of the computer. An adapter for the monitor that is plugged into the computer will be needed. I use this set up every day.

Yes, that's the laptop I have and it works great. Since I use it for work applications I hardly notice the transition from my two monitors because the hookups for dual monitor use are one DVI and one VGA. Plus my monitors aren't DELL or matched in size either (gasp!) In this day and age it pays to recycle and I'm using the e-port with two HP wide screen monitors, one is 23" & the other is 21" . I'm also using a serial-to-usb converter to re-use my old serial bus keyboard and I'm using a blu tooth mouse which stays attached to the laptop not the docking station. This e-port works with all Dell E-series laptops from my understanding.

I don't run 2 monitors, just the laptop and 1 external monitor which is plugged into the one provided HDMI port on the device. The docking station does not have a thunderbolt port which would allow daisy chaining thunderbolt devices were it available. So there seems to be nothing that would indicate that you could run 2 monitors through this docking station.

This only allows one additional monitor to be plugged in. In addition to a currently running monitor. This will not allow you to run 2 monitors plus your standard monitor. It will only allow a +1 monitor

Faizon, I would assume that if you are using the VGA cord from your monitor and plugging it into the VGA portion of this cable and then plug it into the USB of your of your docking station that should work. I assume you are trying to get a second monitor for your docking station. I would try and see if your docking station has two VGA or at least a DVI-D connection for the second monitor, but that may not be an option for your docking station or even your monitor for the DVI-D, But I would check that first before buying this item. I used this cable for a second monitor on my tower station and have not tried it on a docking station. Hope this helps.

If your laptop has a USB 3.0 port, you should be fine. That's how I connect. Laptops open, and I use two external 23" monitors as well.
