You can use a Kensington USB 3.0 Multi Display Adapter (B002F9NSMQ). Thanks for asking. Customer Care

Most laptops can handle up to 3 monitors with the help of an external USB video dock...I have a Sony VAIO and i am using 3 monitors with the aid of an external dock. If your question is to achieve this with just your laptop, then I am not sure the video card can handle multiple laptops just by itself.

Hi JoyceI like to experiment and use things for purposes they weren't really made for. Most times it works. What u propose here could be done if you had an external 12v dc power supply and a rca type "video out" port on your laptop. Caution: Being an experiment, there is a chance you could damage both, the monitor and/or your laptop. Never having seen your laptop, I can't address compatibility so if you have the correct connections or are experienced in electronic modification it could be possible but there are risks as stated above. ~mjp

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that? I have always just used one monitor for two computers.

As the above poster said, probably not. It will allow you to add a second monitor. It's possible if your laptop has dvi, you might be able to use it simultaneously. However, sometimes the dvi is just the DisplayPort converted.

Yes. It is 2nd monitor via usb to laptop or desk. I use it to monitor projector anh have my laptop on other pages.

The projector needs this wireless adapter. Your computer sees this adapter as a wireless network and you connect to the SSID generated by this adapter. it works really well.One complication of this approach is that your laptop probably can only connect to one SSID at a time. So, if you are trying to project your laptop and you want your laptop to be displaying something from the web at the same time, you're probably out of luck unless you also have a wired connection, which may or may not work (I've never tried this).

Yes - one must be VGA and the other digital. You can also run one monitor of either input type.

This device put out the same videos as its input video.You can do what is stated only with the laptop built-in monitor and your TV or an external monitor. Then you can set one of the two monitors as the main and other as the extended display. It is technically possible but may not really practical because the size of the two monitors is too different.

First the cable VGA connection is female...and so is the VGA connection on your laptop . So, to make this cable work, you would need a double male plug between your computer VGA and the cable VGA. I bought the cable to interface between a projector and laptop. When I plugged the VGA cable into my laptop, the audio (out) on my laptop did not have any output? That killed the deal for me as the saying goes...

Hi, that shoud be work, but probably you need a second graphic controller. Or you have a graphic controller the can controled two high resolution screens. The have DVI-D interface only! I use him on my laptop with adaptor DVI-D to Display port. (With USB power supply) Its working fine.

This is a splitter, not a switch. For two computers to a single monitor, you need a switch.

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.

Your laptop should have an analog vga 9 pin plug or an hdmi port for one monitor. You would only need one of these adapters for the second screen.

I really don't know but that is an interesting question. Most laptops seem to have an easy way to use two screens and Windows will allow you to use more. You might try attaching a VGA monitor and trying for three that way, before springing for another USB monitor. If you try it and it works out, let us all know.

Yes you can. I use dual monitors with my docking station. One is connected to the laptop VGA or HDMI output and the other is connected to the dock. I keep my laptop closed and only use the monitors. One is set up as a mirror of the desktop. Hope this helps.

I don't run 2 monitors, just the laptop and 1 external monitor which is plugged into the one provided HDMI port on the device. The docking station does not have a thunderbolt port which would allow daisy chaining thunderbolt devices were it available. So there seems to be nothing that would indicate that you could run 2 monitors through this docking station.
