can you run dual monitors on the DVI port with a splitter and expand the desktop?

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>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>HDMI cable to use the HDMI port for the other.

you can connect to an external monitor, but graphics card will not support split screen. you will have the same screen on both monitors. as for keyboard, any usb keyboard will work.

That's what we used it for. You'll need a splitter cable - and the end that goes into the card has a bazillion pins (ok, 60) - not standard DVI plug. The other ends of the splitter can be DVI. See "DMS-60/LFH-60 to Dual DVI Y-Splitter Cable Converter for Dual Monitor"

Only if you have the DMS-59 connector, its Wider by 1/4 of an inch then DVI. If you have a DVI then NO!. You will need another splitter for DVI to 2x VGA. see http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=DVI+to+2x+VGA

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

Yes, but you have to use the Display port as one of the inputs to the monitor, and then any HDMI input to do split screen, FYI, two HDMI inputs won't let you do split screen

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.

Yes as previously said you would need active adapters. Not sure if you already know this but a splitter just recreates the same image on 2 screens. If you want 4 monitors displaying 2 monitors worth of images then yes that would work. If you want 4 separate images on each monitor then you need active adapters for each port.

You need to run RCA signal cables for both. I used a BOSS video splitter for four monitors.

No. One port is one signal. You couldn't even get two displays with one port and a splitter.

No, it won't. This splitter allows you to see the same picture on 2 monitors. Unless that's what you're trying to do, it won't help you.

I don't think the adapter has anything to do with this, it is dependent on your video card and/or computer. But in my case I am able to extend the desktop to my second monitor. Replicate is also an option.

no. this device willduplicate the same thing on all four monitors. whatever signal you run into it will be duplicated on all four displays. if you want to extend your desktop, spanning it over four different displays would require a video card on your computer disigned for four seperate outputs.

Yes, as long as you have the dvi out on your computer and the display port out on your computer, then you will be able to do the dual monitors this way. I currently have a dell with a vga out and a hdmi out. I have one monitor go to the vga and the other to the hdmi. This is nice that it works this way because most newer computers now come built with multiple video outs. Which means you don't have to spend the extra dollars getting a high performance video card with dual adapters.

Unlikely the splitter will work because the monitor needs the full DVI-D resolution. I would try to find an adapter for your DP.

You could do that by opening 2 programs at the same time and shrinking each one to half size of the monitor. It makes for a smaller workspace on each one, but that is not a problem.

Yes, you can hook up two monitors at the same time. It has two HDMIs and one DVI.
