It's just an adapter to go from dual link DVI to Mini DisplayPort, so all of the usual functionality that you'd expect from a DisplayPort-equipped display is still there. In other words, so long as your computer supports multiple displays, it can mirror or extend.

first of all john, nice name. onto the question though, i personally have been unsuccessful at using a triple screen display with a single videocard, BUT thats not to say that its impossible, i have tried an active adapter that goes from dvi (dual link) to vga, however it might work with the displayport, but i do not have the money anymore to try it

Im not excatly sure what your asking, but the computer has no idea that this thing is in use. it will just split whatever the vga output is. We have this hooked up the vga output of a laptop that goes to a 22" moniter and 2- 60" TVs. They all show the same picture. Hope this helps. Patrick

This is splitter NOT extender and it will not extend your display.. It will only split ( Duplicate ) your display.The cable is too short. 15cm

you'll need to consult your PC manufacturer to see if the mother board will support that. However, if your just cloning the image, there are several cheaper methods sold on Amazon for that. A VGA splitter would be the first thing to I think. You only need to change your video card if you want to extend across 2 monitors. Please check the internet for the difference in extending and cloning to see what's required. thanks and HNY

You can connect two displays with what comes in the box. You will need to buy mini active display port to whatever (hdmi, dvi etc) for each additional display. Active is important and, from what I remember, there are some adapters that say they are active and won't work.It was a while ago, but I used 8 Accell B087B from Amazon and that works fine.

It will extend your desktop too. It has some glitches like blacking out during high volume processing such as using ArcGIS tools. But for the price, it gets the job done. Next time I think I'll try a higher price product. The resolution with the VicTsing is actually better than plugging the second monitor into the Panasonic Toughbook's VGA connector!

It will extend the screen just like any dual-monitor capable video card would. I tried it on mine just to double check!

This is simply a splitter that duplicate input signal. 4 different "monitor/TV" screens will have the exactly same content. For multiple displays with different content, you need multi-display graphics adapters.

wanna buy this... somebody knows if I plug the 3 displays at the same time, can I get together as one, for example to play some game like racing or flight simulator, to see the expansion making one screen.. thanks

This kind of splitter will just duplicate the signal that it receives and then send the same picture to two displays, and won't help you extend your desktop spreading it out over multiple screens. It won't let you send two different pictures from one VGA port on your computer. This splitter cable will only help you in duplicating one signal that was sent out. It is useful for if you want to send a picture to both a monitor and a projector, or to two monitors on your desk, with one facing you and one facing a visitor... that sort of thing. However, if you're using a laptop which has both a built-in screen and a VGA port, the picture you send out through the VGA port doesn't have to be the same as what's on your laptop screen. This is a feature of the laptop itself. You can do the same on a desktop computer which has support for multiple video outputs.

Yes...this is exactly what I did. I already had one monitor hooked up to my pc with a regular vga cable. I wanted to add a second monitor and the only video port I had left on my pc was an hdmi port. So I plugged the hdmi end of this adaptor into the back of the pc and attached the vga cable of the second monitor to vga side of this adaptor...so far, it works perfectly and both monitors work. Hope this helps.

I am not sure. Duplicating in general not good for hi res when monitors have different specs.

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

hi,i just have 2 monitors, but 3 monitors in surround+1monitor on something else seems to be possible, nvidia has some explanations about how to do it, i have never set up that kind of configuration, hope i could help morehttp://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/how-to-correctly-configure-geforce-gtx-680-surround#1

Hi, Yes you are correct, there are two displayport interfaces and one VGA.Thanks, PCrush
