Some of it will depend on your specific laptop and video card capabilities. We have successfully used this docking station to connect an HP 8770w with a Quadro K3000M video card to have two external monitors in addition to the laptop display. You will need to run one external monitor via the VGA connection in the back of the docking station, and the second monitor will need to be connected using the DisplayPort connection on the docking station and a DP-to-VGA adapter (it will not work using a DP-to-HDMI adaptor, or using the DVI connection on the back of the docking station).

I have 5 stations set up to work that way. The external monitor attaches to the dock. I've never had an issue with it

correction..... I read the question too fast. I have no problems with the 3rd monitor. 2 works fine - 1 external and the laptop as the 2nd. sorry for the confusion

Yes it does. I actually hadn't tried yet, but I hooked in a third monitor and it detected it and gave the option to extend to the third montor.

Depends on the laptop. My HP8770W will work with 4 monitors setup as an extended desktop. I am using the laptop monitor and the Display Port, DVI, and VGA on the docking station. For best results, all monitors should support the same max resolution ( 1920x1080). The only problem I have is that the monitor on the display port does not recognize the signal on initial boot. I have to disconnect it and reconnect for that display to be recognized.

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

Yes. You can run up to 3 (verified) monitors at a time the HDMI and two dvi.

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.

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

I just tried it with Windows 7 and it worked. I used the HDMI port on the left and the VGA port on the right. I believe when you do this you can no longer your the laptop screen (as a 3rd screen). Now maybe if you have the laptop docked you could run 3 monitors but not 100% sure

Yes, you can connect 3 monitors at once with EYEFINITY 2 with DVI and 1 with Display Port, or just 2 duplicated or extended.

Most Windows PCs will drive only 2 monitors, some of the newer ones will support 2 external monitors plus the laptop display at the same time, although not all will do this.A special usb to dvi/hdmi box is about $50, I use 2 of those for 3 full monitors plus the laptop display. Do t forget you wont have touch without a touch monitor...

There is also a DVI output but I have not used multiple displays. However if I had to bet my life on it I would bet that if there are multiple outputs you would be able to use 2 monitors.

Naturally no, but its potentially possible to use 2 of these at the same time if you buy an adapter that allows for dual monitors.

Actually, you can just use 1 DVI cable, 1 HDMI cable and 1 Displayport cable for the other monitors. You need monitors that have the connections though.

Yes you can. These things are great by the way. I have a three monitor set up and they're rock solid.

You have the built-in monitor, and a vga port as well as an hdmi port. The settings detect for multiple monitors. I would expect that, therefore, you could do as you asked. However, I have not tried this so will not certify. The vga port can be used as a second monitor, while the hdmi can be plugged into HD tv etc. Vga does not carry sound, hdmi does. If you need more of an answer, you can advise exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Remember there are also other ports and wireless available as well. I would think you could do whatever you need to do since this is well-equipped laptop.

You would hook up your laptop to the Input side and your monitors to the output side. This box will only allow you to clone the output from your laptop. So from what I understand in your question, if you are using the extended feature of your laptop you would have: One display on your laptop and the other will be cloned between the two monitors.

No, you need something that will connect to a video out on the laptop (VGA, dvi, HDMI) and convert that to display port.

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

Yeah, you don't have to use 2 monitors. You can use this instead of the mini display port.
