Dual Monitors, Anyone? Has anyone had success getting two to work?

I'm having the same problem. Acer says that if you add an adapter card, the onboard adapter is disabled. This is ridiculous. I have since bought a dual monitor invidia card and it won't show two monitors either. The Acer must be blocking it somehow. To boot, Acer's support sucks, It's going back where I bought it, right now.

You have to have two active adapters and one VGA to get three monitors (in my experience). One active adapter and one passive adapter does not work.

This card will only drive two monitors. Worked well for me with the dual configuration.

Your computer needs to be designed to run two monitors. My PC had a video card that stipulated that feature. Check out your MAC Book's features. My system has two HDMI plugs.

I had a similar issue. I had to download the current driver from the Kensington website for it and once it installed, my two monitors worked fine. The drivers that are supplied on the disk that comes with it are out dated.

It didn't work for me... Do you have two monitors that each have VGA connectors, but you have a computer that has one VGA port and one HDMI port? That is what I had, and I found although this seems like it would connect the two, it doesn't work. I found success with an adaptor that connected via the USB port that was ~$40 from Best Buy. I had failed with this cable as well as two other splitters. The spitters left me with mirror images/replicas and this connector quite frankly did nothing. Good luck!

oh yeah. and it's awesome - currently have 2 monitors on an arm, and 2 of these on the desk in front of each. apparently my video card will take another one... just trying to figure out where it would go! i had to use a different USB on my computer than the one i initially tried, possibly a power issue as noted in the other answer

Yes, I used the "thunderbolt" to have my second monitor get a signal. I then detect and set up the two monitors through the system preferences panel.

It doesn't work! Only one of the monitors will pick up both cameras. The other monitor keeps showing "Out of Range". Do not buy two sets with the intention of having two monitors for viewing because only one monitor will work! :( I know because I tried to do this.

yes, I can confirm as well. One DVI port, one VGA port. I am using both in a triple monitor setup (with one being the laptop screen).

I do have three monitors which work normally for the desktop, but if you mean gaming across three, haven't tried it yet.

I recently just set mine up last night. I am using 3 monitors and had to go into the BIOS and enable onboard video to get the 3rd monitor to work. 2 of my monitors are plugged into the Video Card using 1 DVI and 1 HDMI and the 3rd is plugged into onboard DVI. Im assuming you could use the extra onboard VGA to hook up a 4th monitor if you needed to. If you didn't want to use VGA then you would have to install a 2nd video card in the machine.

Yes, I currently have two monitors hooked up to my computer. We have 2 DVI hooked up by using a DVI adaptor on the VGA output.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. If you get a dms 59 cable this card will support two different monitors. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know.Sincerely,Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

The one I bought came with a cable that allows for dual monitors. I haven't tried it with this machine, however, so I can't say how well it works. In general, running dual monitors shouldn't be a big deal with Windows,
