Will this need to install some type of driver once it's plugged in? Or can I swap it with my standard monitor and it be good to go?

It depends on the OS you have installed. For my Windows 7 system the drivers were already onboard. When 1st connected Windows searched its own driverbase and asked me to verify the device. Then all was good to go. I imagine Win8 would be about the same. Note that for the touch function to work you must also connect a usb port & the cable supplied with the monitor is fairly short. You might want to have a 6 to 10 foot usb cable on hand to make hooking up easy.

You need to connect the USB cable from the back of the monitor to your computer. This is in addition to the DVI or HDMI connection.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to do so for two reasons1. This monitor requires two USBs (one for power and the other for more power and the signal)2. This monitor requires DisplayLink drivers which are only available for Mac, PC, and a couple variations of Linux as far as I now

No, you need a special 3rd party adapter. Other monitors offer VESA adapter out of box while this does not.

No, you need to use this with a Dell monitor that has the built in attachment and power source

Check the connectors on your monitor, you might need to find one with female VGA connector on the other side.

No. You have to install the driver disk. Even after installng the disk I was still unable to get it to work with my computer/monitor.

It will only work if you have an RCA type connection or an adapter of some sort, most monitors have these, but few computers do

I have had this problem on one system. It was an HP which already had a built in video that used the same exact driver set and also had a port that required the purchase of a special adapter to utilize the 2nd monitor. Other than that, or something similar, I don't have a clue.

I plugged it into my Dell Laptop using the supplied cable (this means yes to VGA) - no problem at all, great, bright display. That's what I wanted, I never counted the other ports, suggest you read the specs.

It should but there may not be presets for it, which is not a big deal. In in such a case you won't be using the internal crossover. All other features are available though. Depending on your application they make a different DriveRack product for powered monitors also.

Yes you need to conect a monitor to the card and use that screen then set up the resolution and the drivers - hope you have better look than me mine only worked for 2 days then had a fault supplier would not replace and the cost of sending it back makes for a problem i had to write it off and amazon were even worse than ebay they did not want to know

Using the Displayport input, I could not get anything to work. I used an HDMI cable and it worked fine. Do you see the blue power light when you switch it on? If not, maybe defective.

You will need the cable from the Monitor to connect to the adapter and the computer!!

No you have to buy it with unit. Make sure that you use monitor driver and not your computer OS driver.

Julie ~ the display device reads directly from your armband. You will still need to plug your armband in and sync it with your computer. Let me know if that doesn't answer your question, I wasn't sure what you meant by "replace the software that goes with the monitor"?

The monitor shows up as a second display. Anything that works on a second display should work on this.
