Can the HP w2207 be configured to work as a dual monitor with another HP w2207? What software and cables are needed, if any?

I'd say it has more to do with your hardware. In other words, if your computer has two monitor ports, one VGA and one DVI, then you could hook up two monitors easily, and use the respective cable for each monitor to do dual-head display. For example, my laptop only has one VGA port, but when I dock it, the docking port has two, so I can display on two monitors.

Yes, easily. You need no special cables or software, just a video card with 2 outputs. If a video card has 2 outputs, the normal drivers will support 2 monitors.

Yes you can use dual monitors with it. bear in mind that the video card has the correct pin configuration. It is not the standard VGA connection to the computer

The HP has a number of different input connectors any of which can be used equally well. Look at your lap-top and find the connector for the monitor. Take a piece of paper and trace the ouline. Make a small drawing of the pins. Do the same for the Monitor. The go to somewhere like Best Buy with the two pics and ask the for a cord.

I would first check to see that your laptop could support two monitors at 2560x1440 and then confirm it has to display-port ports.

you need to have a video card that can support 2 monitors...look on the back of the computer , are there 2 vga or DVI connectors? then it will support 2 monitors.

I was able to accomplish this with the same PC. I used a DVI adapter for the second monitor.

I do not have a second monitor attached to this computer but I believe it can. Go to the HP website to confirm. I do like this computer. Good Luck :)

Short answer: yes, and I currently have it as part of a 3- monitor linked single desktop right now, as a matter of fact.However, regardless to what monitors you use, make sure your computer's GPU(s) are properly linked if necessary (SLI or Crossfire if you want a third monitor) and have an *active* display port-to *your monitor cable type here* adapter for monitors after the second one. Otherwise, your computer will recognize the extra monitor(s), but only let you use two of them at any given time.(Basically, any monitor should work as part of a multi-display setup. It's the computer configuration itself you need to have setup right.)

This Monitor works great on my HP laptop with Windows 7 and HDMI video output!

Yes. I have the MVP22Uv2 set up as my main monitor, a second monitor hooked up to my graphics card and a third monitor hooked up using a separate USB graphics card connector.

correction..... I read the question too fast. I have no problems with the 3rd monitor. 2 works fine - 1 external and the laptop as the 2nd. sorry for the confusion

Yes! I called HP and they told me this computer only had one VGI port. But it does not. It has VGA AND VGI. I have two of these computers and have dual monitors on both. They work great. I love this computer!

to use different laptops with 1 monitor you will have to use the VGA connector , the USB is only for power and switching on a KVM switch. If you aren't using a KVM switch the USB is simply a straight through USB cable.

Absolutely, you can get the USB wireless cable and buy a micro HDMI cable to hook up to the second monitor. I have both set up for the last 2 years, effortlessly simple

If you are having to ask this question, you likely will need to have someone that knows more about computers help you. Not being a smartazz, just being realistic. Most any computer can be made to support dual monitors with a new video card or external dock. Few come ready-to-go for duals. DO you have a tech-savvy friend that can helpyou?

Yes, I am using one at work that is connected to 2 of 24" monitors at 1920 x 1200. I think I have one connected via DisplayPort and the other via HDMI. At work I am using a Dell PC M4700. I had some trouble with compatibility between Nvidia and DisplayLink driver (in addition to the 24" monitors I have a 30" connected to the laptop's DisplayPort output). I ended up going back a few revisions of the Nvidia driver to get things to work reliably. At home I have a Mac with also with 3 external monitors, except with the Mac I am driving them all with USB connections. I have a 30-inch connected to the HP 3005pr and two 1280 x 1024 smaller displays each connected via its own older USB to video Displaylink box.
