I have two 22" monitors currently in ext desktop mode. Can I add 17" monitor for visitors, showing what is on one monitor with this cable?

Hello Peter. The Pro Series VGA Monitor Y Cable should work if you add another monitor to it.

Yes you can, though i'd recommend using through mini display port if you just want to link the monitor, unless you want to link to a tv i'd use HDMI. However yes you can have total of two monitors in extended mode

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

To echo the others' responses - yes, it allows different applications on all of the monitors. It essentially gives you one huge desktop. The best (and free) program to manage this is called "Display Fusion" which lets you "stretch" your wallpaper from one monitor to another. Here's a picture of my system (if Amazon allows links) http://www.flickr.com/photos/diannewood/8230467243/sizes/l/in/photostream/

I have two on mine and room for one more. You need a mini display adapter for those other little ports.

I do not know, since I use a dedicated cable for my extended monitor, however, I doubt it. This device is a "dumb" device....it does not recognize MAC addresses, nor does it communicate any meaningful information which would allow your computer to differentiate between screens. All of your extended monitors will show the same content. If you want 4 different monitors with independent content you'll need to add additional ports to your box or find a different device to do it.

I only have 1 monitor attached - I can't find any reference that says that more can be connected.

I have two Acer V223W monitors and one Acer V226WL, and I don't know which monitor is on which computer because I move them around so much that I don't know which is where. They are fully interchangeable whether using VGA or DVI cables.

I have 2 - 20" Dell Monitors on my Ergoton. They are Dell P2011H monitors With these monitors, there are about 3 more inches for the bracket mount to move outwards. So, roughly speaking, that would allow for a monitor that is 3 inches wider on each side than my monitors (3 inches wider from the center of the monitor...so 6 inches wide total I can't say for sure if that would allow for a 27" monitor on each bracket or not.

Fully extended including the monitor mount it is a little better than 15"for a single monitor. However 2 monitors will be lucky to do 10" with my 23.2" its about that.

I use 2 inexpensive 21.5" monitors (emachine's I bought for $89.99 at Best Buy) but the stands says they support up to 24".

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 have 2 of these dual monitor stands with 22" monitors....absolutely fantastic! They are rated up to 24" monitors, if I remember correctly. 27" monitors will not fit side by side on this stand.

You are correct, this box only boosts and splits the identical output to 2 monitors. If you want to EXTEND your desktop to a second or third monitor, and your equipment doesn't already have a dual monitor video card (or if it is a laptop), then you need a device like the Plugable (brand) devices found on Amazon, which are USB to VGA/DVI/HDMI Adapters. There are at least 3 different models, one for USB 2.0 and one for USB 3.0, at various max resolutions and prices. Hope this helps!

No this will show one thing on 2 separate displays. For example, if you pull up Facebook, it will be shown on both monitors. You need a separate port on the computer or a switching device to be able to do what you want. I, too, purchased this thinking it would "split" the display.

I just chatted with Ergotron. They said that their new model supports 24" monitors, but that Amazon has been slow in updating their product information. As long as you are ordering new, and not used, the one you get should be able to support 24" monitors.
