If i have a regular female - female vga to hook up to my monitors then will i need the male - male adapter to hook it up to this splitter?

the vga cable from your computer should be male to male so you will need a female to female gender changer with this unit. you can look I think they make this product with both a male input version and a female input version

You are correct. From the looks of the ports on the back you will need the male-to-male adapter. However, they are very inexpensive on Amazon. I've bought many over the years.

No, you still need a VGA cable, but if you have a PC monitor, you probably already have that.

No. This adapter is for connecting a laptop that has an HDMI (output) port to a regular monitor that has a VGA (input) port.

'I wanted to test this for you, but the VGA on the adaptor and the VGA on the PC laptop are both "female," and so this would require a "male to male" extension wire to try it out. Sorry I could not help.

Yes! It was so nice not to have to buy an VGA cable. However if you are using a mac, you willhave to purchase the adapter for that.

VGA is 15 pins and this Serial is only 9 so you will probably need a different adapter

It will connect one VGA connector (such as computer output) to another (such as monitor input). It is not designed to split one output into dual outputs.

With the Right adapter yes. it has a digital out as well as the VGA, look on Directronics.

Yes but you will need adapters to change its 'sex'. It is male dvi to female vga. You will need to convert the vga to male and the dvi to female.

If you have a minidisplayport output on your PC and you're wanting to connect a VGA female, it should work regardless of the kind of computer.

Yes...this is exactly what I did. I already had one monitor hooked up to my pc with a regular vga cable. I wanted to add a second monitor and the only video port I had left on my pc was an hdmi port. So I plugged the hdmi end of this adaptor into the back of the pc and attached the vga cable of the second monitor to vga side of this adaptor...so far, it works perfectly and both monitors work. Hope this helps.

Yes, you need a VGA cable. Look at the photo of the rear of the unit posted on the listing.

To the best of my knowledge, the Y adapter reduces the VGA signal to each monitor to half of the signal that is coming out of the Video Card. This dims the brightness of each display. It is my personal thinking that if you want a clearer, sharper display you would be better off with the second Video Card. I am assuming that you are using a desktop computer. The VGA Y splitter will NOT "extend" the desktop, but will only duplicate the desktop on both displays.

This Mini-DisplayPort DVI adapter will NOT work with a DVI-VGA adapter. You need a separate adapter for that. I test it myself because I needed it for setting up a presentation and it did not work.

This is a serial port adapter, Not a VGA adapter.You are looking for a USB to VGA adapter.

I am assuming you want to "extend the displays"? If this is so then no, your video card needs to have two monitor ports in order to "extend the displays". You will only be able to mirror them with this splitter.

What do you mean by 'a splitter'? If you mean having 2 connections off the DVI connection, then no. If you just mean use a DVI&gt;VGA adapter, so 1 monitor plugged into VGA port and another plugged into the adapter on the DVI, then yes. If you have 2 DVI only monitors, you should be able to use the DVI port for one and use a DVI&gt;HDMI cable to use the HDMI port for the other.
