Up to three actually, but the third must be vga...the two can be both display port, one can be dvi and one can be hdmi

I am currently using 3 monitors with this dock. All 3 are Dell U2414H monitors using DisplayPort daisy chaining. There is one DP cable coming from the dock to my far left monitor. Then from the left monitor, there's a DP cable to the middle, and the same for the right. Be aware that there are firmware updates for this dock that fix the DisplayPort hub that's included in the dock. This is the support page that has the firmware update I used to fix some of my DisplayPort issues:http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd028010

With a T450s, you can only have three active external displays if you close the lid / turn off the laptop display. Otherwise, only two of the external displays will power up even though the dock allows you to plug in three. So beware if you are buying this for a four display experience.

yes it can,once you hook up the other monitor, windows should reconize it and download drivers needed to run two monitors. hope this helps.

Yes, you can. You don't have to use 2 monitors. For the card or cable to work properly

Possibly, but I'm not sure. I only have connected to single monitor.Check with Dell support forums.

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.

Yes, as long as you have the dvi out on your computer and the display port out on your computer, then you will be able to do the dual monitors this way. I currently have a dell with a vga out and a hdmi out. I have one monitor go to the vga and the other to the hdmi. This is nice that it works this way because most newer computers now come built with multiple video outs. Which means you don't have to spend the extra dollars getting a high performance video card with dual adapters.

Yes, I am using it for this right now. One monitor is on the built-in HDMI port, the other is using this adapter.

I doubt it. I used to add a 2nd & 3rd monitor. You might contact Diamond to confirm.

No, it won't. This splitter allows you to see the same picture on 2 monitors. Unless that's what you're trying to do, it won't help you.

No, you would need something else to use two monitors at once. This is used for switching between two monitors that are used one at a time.

No. This will show the same thing on both screens. You need a video card with dual outputs to do what you want.

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

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

I haven't tried 2 monitors but I don't see a reason why it won't support 2 monitors. I mostly use it a HTPC running windows 7 64bit and XBMC directly connected to my TV via HDMI

Yes, supports two monitors. I have 1 VGA and 2nd VGA connected via a dvi-i to VGA adapter. Dvi-d is the digital version on some cards that requires a more expensive active adapter.

The unit would need a standalone video card to project to two monitors..It is not equipped with the video card..Thanks
