can this be used as a dual screen for a laptop, an extension?

Nope - I've had zero luck using the device as a dual or alternate PC monitor.

This cable converts an HDMI output to a VGA output. That is, it does not add a new video output it merely changes the connector on an existing output. that being said if your are able to plug in an HDMI monitor or HDTV and extend your laptop video (most laptops WILL do this) then this cable will allow you to use a VGA monitor to extend your laptop display. To be sure search for your laptop make and model using Google and add "dual display" to the search string. Something will come up if this is possible.

Yes, I just tried as you described using my Dell Latitude E5530 and was able to extend desktop onto two monitors (one via adapter, other connected to VGA port) while utilizing the laptop display.

plain and simple, as long as you have an external vga port on the laptop, yes.

The easiest way would be a simple DVI to VGA adapter if you want to make an extended desktop. You may also look up DisplayPort cables as a second option.

Assuming you are using the screen as a secondary (Photoshop will not run on a 800x600 screen), then yes you certainly could use the screen this way.

Mike I have hooked into computer and directly into HDMI on HD television, and it works great, I have not tried the extended screen, but I am sure it would work. It is just the same as plugging an HDMI cord from Laptop to the Television. Hope this helps.

No, this won't work for you (the ports are reversed from what you want: your laptop must have an HDMI port, and your monitor must have VGA port).

If just for output (to a projector or screen sharing to a monitor) I'd probably get an adapter similar to the following:

Hi, that shoud be work, but probably you need a second graphic controller. Or you have a graphic controller the can controled two high resolution screens. The have DVI-D interface only! I use him on my laptop with adaptor DVI-D to Display port. (With USB power supply) Its working fine.

Yes. As long as your cables are long enough. Once connected you can configure both displays from laptop.

Yes, my wife uses it for her laptop with the extra monitor. There is a VGA plug on it.

Provided your computer has a mini display port you just plug it in there. You will likely need a standard HDMI cable to extend from it to the other device since this has a rather short cable.

It will extend the screen just like any dual-monitor capable video card would. I tried it on mine just to double check!

Yes, one to VGA & the other to HDMI. You may need an adapter. You can extend or mirror the two displays. See - Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display\Screen Resolution. Had no issues.
