Does anyone know how to get the Yiynova tablet working as a separate monitor from a laptop?

I'm not sure, but I think you're asking one of 2 questions here. So as to not make any assumptions. . . In order to connect the monitor to your laptop, you need to have an open VGA port and USB port, one that you plug the big blue VGA cord into, and one to plug the small USB cord into. A lot of laptops these days don't have the big VGA ports anymore, you might need to get an adapter. I didn't have to do this, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. 2nd, go to this website: http://frenden.com/post/38693256477/yiynovamsp19u Ray will teach you that you need to go install the appropriate drivers BEFORE plugging in the Yiynova monitor. The drivers can be found in a couple of places, but you should try the ones that come packaged with the monitor first. Ray Frenden is a really good digital artist, he's the one who turned a lot of people onto the Cintique-alternatives in the first place. 3rd. It should definitely work, but there's a chance there could be some bugs in it. If so, head over to this website: http://draw2much.deviantart.com/journal/Monoprice-Tablet-FAQ-for-Windows-7-342426446 I don't know if you're working with Windows 7 or Mac OS or what, but since I do Windows, this worked for me. They give you a good understanding of some of the common glitches (my brush sensitivity would randomly stop, leaving huge streaks between points)\ I hope this helps! Steve

Is it a mac or a windows laptop? If it's a mac, you gotta set the resolution correctly. Bigger resolution doesn't work well sometimes. Then go to the display setting on your mac and uncheck the mirror option. If it's on a windows, also get the right resolution and press " windows key+ P" and select extended.

Just ... plug it into your laptop's video out slot, it'll just work like any monitor would. Right click your desktop wallpaper and select "Screen Resolution" to make any other adjustments you want regarding the screen locations and resolutions, etc...

It depends on whether you're using Mac or Windows. On Mac you go to Settings > Displays > Arrangment > Uncheck "Mirror Displays"you can also move which side you want the display on too by moving the smaller square around.I'm not completely sure on PC though since I haven't used the two screen thing on PC as of yet.

What's your OS ?if win7 it'll be:control panel>appearance and personalization>display>screen resolution then click on "multiple displays" and select your option: show desktop only on monitor 1, only on monitor 2, duplicate these displays, extend these displaysworks for me.

I connect mine to my iPad. Works flawlessly every time. Not sure with your laptop on windows. I'd email Killer concepts and ask them. They always reply real quick when I've had to email them. Sorry I couldn't help.

Check with Displaylink, it would be good if they were working on it. I have the W8 tablet from Dell on order; should be possible to support RT but a driver will be required. Bill

I haven't found a way to run it directly through bluetooth. Once I shut off my wifi I lose the video. I believe the devices connect to the monitor through bluetooth, then to see the video it connects through wifi.

You cannot hook up a regular monitor to it because it is an ip cam. Best thing you can do for a monitor is having a tablet with an ip cam app.

I have a Surface Pro and am currently running two external monitors on it (with the tablet display not running). I downloaded Windows 8.1, which is not officially supported yet, but there is a driver available on displaylink.com that did the trick.

I had this issue as well and I had to invest in several items to get it to work. You have to have a 3D capable monitor. The screen with this laptop isn't capable. Next you need the Nvidia glasses and IR adapter. Then you need a DisplayPort to DVI-D and a dual channel DVI cable.

You can download the latest software/drivers from the wacom website and use video connection adapters to connect it to your laptop. VGA to USB or DVI to VGA. It needs at least one free USB port for the tablet portion and then use whatever adapters you need to feed it video.

The odd thing is is that my laptop had to be in 'dual monitor' mode for it to work; just having the external monitor sent the signal didn't work.

I just tried it with Windows 7 and it worked. I used the HDMI port on the left and the VGA port on the right. I believe when you do this you can no longer your the laptop screen (as a 3rd screen). Now maybe if you have the laptop docked you could run 3 monitors but not 100% sure

You can not use your laptop. You have to have a separate monitor with a vga connection. Sometimes if you look at your flat screen tv's in your house one of them should have a vga port you can plug it in and program without buying a monitor.

I believe the computer only had Display Port out and you'll need an adapter. did you use an adapter?Startech DP2HDMI DisplayPort to HDMI Video Adapter Converter

When you set up the tablet you may have to set up your computer or laptop to have two screens instead of one. You can do this through your graphics or monitor options. You can do this through your control panel and then select appearance then display them screen resolution in windows 7. You can right click from your desktop screen and do the same. You will see screen options and if your Yiynova is connected it should be detected and a second monitor should show up. ( Or an option may say project to a second screen in windows 8). In windows 7 if it doesn't show up when you select screen resolution try looking under advances settings under the option to change the appearance of your display. Select ok or whatever it is indicated to accept the changes. After you do this, it should work. If not, try to restart your computer with the Yiynova plugged in. You restart after you have selected your monitor option. This worked for me. I have windows 7 on one computer and 8 on another. Be sure to drag your pen tool as far over as you can, lift and then try to drag again to the other screen. If both screens are operating correctly, you should be able to have the expanded screen space and be able to move from one screen to another without a problem.

Honnestly, I doubt the tablets can support a second screen whatever the way the connection is handled.If you do not find a tablet user of the startech device, you take high risk of failure.

I have only used the splitter to split the image coming from a desktop and take it to a monitor and an interactive white board or something similar. Some laptops graphics cards interact really differently. Try checking your graphics settings and see if you can clone your monitor image. If that doesn't work you may have to choose to go to the CRT display on your keyboard function key which may blackout your laptop screen.

Yes I have done just that...but you will eventually fine the set up unsatisfactory. better to buy a laptop docking station that has several ways to hook monitors up. my best results with this is to have 2 monitors one driven by the laptop one driven by the USB adapter ...not you main as it doer not refresh as fast as you will need.hope this helps
