Can I use this for 2 macs to 1 monitor?

I use this to project from a Mac. The split goes to another desktop monitor and to a projector. It has worked well for us. No problem to report. The only detail is that EVERYTiME we turn on the Mac we have to unplug and re-plug in the monitor jack going into the Mac so it will recognize the monitors.

This is a splitter, not a switch.For two computers to a single monitor, you need a switch.

I dont see how this is possible. Its used for two monitors on one computer not the other way around

Im sorry. I don't know. I have a new laptop with HDMI so don't use the Monoprice now .Worked great for sending input to TV HDMI input. Good Luck....Robert

No, this is to plug in 3 different out puts into a tv, and it switches in between them based on the order you put them in and whether they are on or off.You are looking for screens sharing i believe. Here is some quick explanations from Ehow.com:Windows:http://www.ehow.com/how_2190985_set-up-multiple-screens-one.html#page=3Mac:http://www.ehow.com/how_6754875_set-dual-monitors-apple-computer.html#page=0

I'm using this with a recently purchased late 2012 Mac mini so I didn't need to buy a new monitor. It let me continue using my Dell monitor.

Yes, I have tried this on an older mac mini with Snow Leopard and a newer mac mini with Maverick. There are different drivers at www.displaylink.com for the two operating systems and each installed without problems and were quick to set up through the Display option of System Preferences. On the mac, you can set the desktop backgrounds to be different, which is not an obvious option on Microsoft Windows (I plan to check if it is possible). The highest resolution monitor I have used as 2nd display is 1280x1024; the specs say that it will work up to 2048x1152.

I only have Macs. So yes to macs. From my experience it's no different then hooking up a second monitor. Pc should also work fine.

Yes. Purchase a miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. I use this interchangeably between an iMac and a MacBook Pro.

What you are describing is Target Display Mode, where one Mac can be used as a display for another. That is not possible with this adapter, as it required a thunderbolt or mini-display port cable on both ends to transmit the data. If the non-Apple notebook is fully display port compliant, then it may be possible to use the iMac as a monitor. More information can be found here: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3924

Yup, you'll need a mac display to HDMI (or DVI as monitor supports both) adapter.

there are three connections. One large DVI and two mini DVI. You can definitely run two monitors. the 3rd takes some adapters. You'll have to hit the apple forums to get that info.

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

No, it will not. It will only allow you to see the same image on two monitors. It is only electrically copying the output.

Yes, easily. You need no special cables or software, just a video card with 2 outputs. If a video card has 2 outputs, the normal drivers will support 2 monitors.

I'm not sure if this will do exactly what you want, but some of my users use an application called "UltraMon" to assist in our multiple monitor environment. Google it for details.

I am using it for a 2nd monitor for my MacBookPro. If your MacMini has a thunderbolt connection, I don't see why it wouldn't work for a 2nd monitor. In doing a quick search, it appears this is supported (providing you connect the 1st monitor via the hdmi-dvi adapter). https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4732629?start=0&tstart=0 Happy Dual Monitor computing!!!

unless your macbook has two outputs, (which macbooks don't) you cannot use more than 1 external display

Yes you can. That is exactly my setup at work. You could also hdmi out to another independent monitor and usb out to another if you wanted. Thanks rMBP!

Yes. Monitors do not care whether a computer is a Mac or Windows PC. Just make sure you have the right adapters for your computer. (Depends on the Mac)
