Will this also work for connecting a notebook and desktop computer to a single monitor?

No, I'm pretty sure it won't, although I haven't tried that. There is only one port labeled as 'IN', and two labeled as 'OUT'. It is designed to do the opposite - that is, to connect two DVI monitors to a single DVI port on a single system.

No I don't believe this what your looking for. This has 1 input , 2 outputs.

No, this splitter will only show your desktop across the two screens. You'll need two separate feeds from your computer.

Yes I'm pretty sure. Just google it to confirm. This is to connect one dvi-d male port to another. For example my external monitor to my laptop.

I am not using the adapter for that purpose. My need was to connect a second monitor to my desktop and it works perfectly. Installation was easy, plug the monitor cable into the adapter and plug the adaptor to the DVI port on the computer. Done, now have two monitors.

yes, it will work but it will be tight. I found that using my lap top and one monitor is a better option.

Yes. I am currently using it for that very purpose. Just as long as both your desktop monitor and wall-mount flat screen support VGA connections.

Possibly, but I'm not sure. I only have connected to single monitor.Check with Dell support forums.

Not positive, but it seems like it would. I used it to have a dual vga because my computer would only support 1 monitor. Adding this gave me another display on the same pc.

can i buy hdmi converter to hook up the monitor to desktop to another monitor for 2nd device?

if your computer supports DisplayPort 1.2 I think it will work. I do not use touch screen but I do use it to display three individual desktops on three monitors.

As long as your laptop has two VGA ports. The USB cable for this is only to power monitors with USB connections on monitors

I do not think so. Desktop monitors usually come with a parallel port, this is a serial port. This adaptor only work with serial devices.

I really cannot think of a reason why this would not work. As long as the PC has a USB cable run between the monitor and the PC, the adapter should work. The monitor at this point is just acting as a hub for any USB devices

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.

I'm not sure what you are asking when writing about an external monitor and then about main monitor. This device can only work with a single monitor that can be connected to either a desktop or to the laptop.

I used this device for (2) computers, each computer had a DVI and a VGA and was using those ports for dual monitors. This device allowed me to switch between the two computers on both monitors for each. Based on that, I believe if you used the DVI on one channel, and then the VGA on the other channel, that this would work. That being said, you may be better off just getting a DVI-VGA adapter and using a cheap switch.

You may run a single signal and split it to both monitors , that's how I wired mine.
