I would buy a dual dvi KVM switch, not this one. There are several on the market that are quite good. If you insist on this KVM, then buy an adapter to convert DVI to VGA or vice versa as needed.

This is a great KVM switch, But I found that I could not mix DVI and VGA inputs. It had to be all VGA or all DVI.

The KVM switch has two display ports, one VGA and the other DVI so may or may not need adaptors. It depends on your monitor and what display ports are on your monitors. I used the DVI as my main monitor and VGA as my secondary monitor. if you have Windows you can go to Control Panel --> Personalization --> Display Settings to Extend the desktop onto this monitor so that you can used two monitor. I forgot to mention that you'll need two display ports on your PC either on the motherboard or graphic card connected to the two/four port Dual monitor KVM Switch.

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.

The last picture has 2 types of adapters. The ones on the left are Molex to PCI-e power adapters. They are used if you have an older power supply that doesn't have PCI-e power outlets. The white one on the right is a DVI-VGA adapter. I am currently using that adapter, since my triple monitor setup doesn't like to recognize any of the monitors if I have a DVI/DVI/HDMI setup. For whatever strange reason, that goes away if I go with a DVI/DVI-VGA/HDMI setup. Just a strange hiccup I have had with this card.

You already have one monitor hooked up via HDMI/DVI, then probably you will have just an analog VGA port available. If that is the case then you have no choice but connect up the other monitor using the VGA port. The VGA cable should come with your monitor, so you won't need to buy an adapter or cable.

Do you mean VGA? For my set up, I may have used cable with DVI on both ends so I can't say I remember a VGA connection.There are adapters for DVI to VGA so something like this should work:Generic DVI-I Dual-Link (M) to 15-Pin VGA (F) Adapter

Depends what ports are on your laptop. This monitor has a VGA output only. so if you dont have a vga port, then you cant use this monitor. (technically you could.. but it would cost alot for converters and it would be better just to get another monitor). So google what a vga looks like.

I'm not sure. Basically, what you need to do is look at the "input plugs" of your DVI monitor and VGA source. If the plug is a male pin (pins sticking out), then you need a female on that part of the adapter. If the plug is a female pin (a flat surface with holes in it), then you need a male on that side of the adapter. In other words, if you have female DVI and male VGA, then you need an adapter with male DVI and female VGA. StarTech does make both kinds. I got one of each for each end of my cable. I do have a successful setup, but had to use my VGA monitor. I could not get the KVM switch-and-adapters to operate the DVI monitor with both computers. But it's been a while, and I no longer remember exactly what the problem was. Apologies for only being able to offer half an answer. Specifically to your particular question, you might need the other gender adapter, and there could be other compatibility issues. Good luck and best wishes.

There is one HDMI port and one DVI port. So you will need an adapter. However, I wouldn't advise hooking up an additional monitor without upgrading the graphics card.

Nope, that cable is just like an extension cord to connect a computer to a trendnet KVM switch. I'm guessing what you want is more like a secondary VGA port. If you use a laptop you can connect the Smart Board to the VGA port of the laptop and *usually* you will be able to use the laptop screen as the main one and the smart board as the secondary. If its a regular PC, you could install a VGA card with multiple ports, if you really need to use the USB port look for a "usb vga adapter" right here in amazon.

You do not need any adapter. The board has output connectors for vga,hdmi,and dvi. All you have to have is the appropriate cable for whatever type monitor you have.

This simple cable is to connect 1 VGA (Computer/Output) to 2 (Monitors/Inputs), which is useful for having 2 monitors in different locations viewing the same output, like a security system video output. If you want to connect 2 Towers (Computers) to 1 Monitor, you will need a VGA Switch box or a KVM to be able to select which Computer to be displayed on the Monitor.

It is USB powered (No separate power supply). I'm not sure I fully understand the planned setup. It sounds like one KVM will have mouse, keyboard, and one monitor and the other will have the second monitor. If so, I can't say because I've no experience trying something like that. I'd suggest typing the question into a search engine (such as Google) to see if anyone else has discussed this arrangement. I use mine for USB mouse, keyboard, and speaker, and a DVI monitor. It works very well with my Win 7 and Win 8 PCs. Before acquiring the Win 8 PC, I had a Win XP computer attached to it. It worked much of the time, but sometimes the mouse would freeze when switching between the computers. Your experience might depend on the operating systems you are using.

Hi, I took a gamble when I bought this switch and I currently have it connected similar to what you asked, monitor connected to input 1 (DVI-Female to HDMI Male adapter), lcd-tv connected to input 2, and PC connected to the output (DVI-Male to HDMI adapter). It is working fine in this manner. Hope that helps.

Not quite sure what the question means but based on what I think you mean.... Meant to connect one DVI monitor, one VGA monitor, one mouse, one keyboard, USB and audio to up to 4 computers. For each computer you use a vga output and a DVI output. When you switch inputs ewverything changes over. The monitor receiving vga continues to be the vga monitor so no need to change it, same for the DVI monitor. Alternatively you can connect a dvi monitor to the hdmi output by using the appropriate adapter cable. Ditto for the vga if you have the appropriate adapters but generally not worth the trouble.

The only port that can be connected to the monitor is a RGB blue serial cable. This cable connects to my pc via the VGA port. My video card has VGA, DVI and HDMI ports. My answer therefore is that VGA is definitely present, as for DVI I suppose you would need and adapter, considering that the cable provided along with the monitor is a bluw RGB VGA cable. I hope that helps.

Evidently, there is no other common name except what you just said. It seems that the adapter you are looking for is rather unique. Maybe you can achieve it by using the 24+1 DVI Male to VGA female and then another VGA Male to Male adapter? Just a thought, in case there is no straight 24+1 DVI Male to VGA Male. Hope this helps.
