I am looking to use two of these monitors with a Dell 452-BBPG docking station. Is it compatible out of the box, or do I need adapters?

Good evening - An adapter is not necessary as I have a DVI and Monitor cable ports on the monitors.

This system has VGA and DVI connections for display purposes. As long as the docking station has those connection types it should work. If it does not, you might need to get adapters or cables to convert correctly.

Yes. I use this docking station at work and I have two monitors that I use with it for my dell E5420

Yes, as I bought a Dell 22" monitor for my wife for this docking station. The only thing is load the driver for your monitor. That's it. Just make sure you have the currect driver. My laptop and my daughter's laptop is Windows 8 where Sandy (wife) is Windows 7. Yeah we connect sometimes when wife is not connected to the docking station. So again. Different drivers. Hope this helps.

It depends on your docking station. If you docking station has color-coded ports (PWR in Red, etc), this adapter is not compatible. If your docking station needs a 5V power adapter, and all the ports are all black, this is compatible.

Agreed! We like out Dell as well! We use ours very portable and have not tried hooking it up to an external monitor. However, have you tried going to "Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution" and adjusted the resolution settings? I've often used this at work to use various laptops with various viewing hardware in conference rooms including old 36" tube TV's and have generally found a resolution that works from the controls of the laptop operating system. Windows 7 has 15 different resolution settings. Older version do not have that many if I remember correctly. Anyway, good luck and I hope you find a solution.

No, it does not work with the dell monitor--I bought a separate power adapter.

I installed the video card into a Dell Inpsiron 560 which only has a 300W power supply and I have been viewing two displays since beginning of September 2014 with no issues. This video card was an upgrade recommendation per my service tag number on the Dell website which helped me decide compatibility with my computer. I also used two Monoprice (4826) DP (DisplayPort) Male to HDMI® Female Adapter to convert the video card output to HDMI for my monitors. No external power was needed to support the Monoprice adapters.

You can get away with two outputs on any mini display port to VGA or DVI adapter that mates your monitors but you will need VISIONTEK ACTIVE ADAPTERS after the initial two outputs. These are available with various output connections and the part number will vary based on the connection type

I"m not using adapters, but get great pictures on two monitors using dvi. Not sure why you wouldn't be.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER:Thanks for posting your question here, Tewana! If your Dell monitor only has VGA ports, then you cannot use this product to connect the Dell monitor to any computer as the Plugable USB3-HDMI-DVI does not support VGA. It only supports connectivity via HDMI and DVI.Hope the above information helps! If you need any additional information, please do feel free to shoot us an email at support@plugable.com.

There are 2 DisplayPort plugs, 1 HDMI, 1 VGA and 1 DVI. I've had no problems running a dual-monitor setup, but I doubt that whatever humble business laptop you're docking this into has the GPU capability to simultaneously display on 4 monitors. A better question you should be asking yourself is why on earth would you want a quad-monitor setup for docking your laptop. Swordfish was just a movie dude.

Hello Brandon. No, this Dell dock only works for the Dell Latitude E-Series business laptops. If you are looking for "generic" docking stations, I believe Belkin makes one, but you still have to rig it with cables.

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

I was able to connect two dell 23" monitors with no problem. The instructions for the monitor stand are vague, but it ended up being relatively easy to set up. The hardest part was taking off the current stand of the monitors. Good luck. I ended up purchasing 2 of these stands.

I recently just set mine up last night. I am using 3 monitors and had to go into the BIOS and enable onboard video to get the 3rd monitor to work. 2 of my monitors are plugged into the Video Card using 1 DVI and 1 HDMI and the 3rd is plugged into onboard DVI. Im assuming you could use the extra onboard VGA to hook up a 4th monitor if you needed to. If you didn't want to use VGA then you would have to install a 2nd video card in the machine.
