I have a client who needs three monitors, two of them extended, but the third mirroring only ONE of the two displays. Does this handle that?

I'd contact their tech support for that question: https://www.visiontek.com/tek-support.html Video card specs: https://www.visiontek.com/graphics-cards/visiontek-radeon-hd-5570-4-port-dvi-vhdci-detail.html#specifications

No. It only mirrors the output by 4 displays so they would ask have the same picture.

As far as what I have read on another site it can support 2 but for the third monitor you would need an adapter.hope this helps.

Yes, that is what I am doing. I have a graphics card with 3 display ports and one HDMI. I have 3 monitors (actually samsung 22 inch LED tvs) and works without an hitch.

Thanks ioioi210. That's pretty lame that they advertise support for dual monitors then. While technically you can have two monitors lit up, I don't think most people are looking for mirrored displays.

No, not necessarily. This will adapt from one connection type to another, it does not split the monitors itself. I used this to adapt an older monitor for a dual monitor setup but this part along will not duplicate or extend a monitor.

I am assuming you want to "extend the displays"? If this is so then no, your video card needs to have two monitor ports in order to "extend the displays". You will only be able to mirror them with this splitter.

It supports both dual and triple monitors. I had to hooked to three for a while until I needed to clear up some desk real-estate...

If you goto system preferences -> Displays you will notice you have two monitors connected now, you can use both or choose mirroring. But basically drag a window to the other side either to the left or to the right...

Yes this will work for a third monitor. It is an active adapter like advertised.

Yes. That 3 monitor limit is based on the number of connectors.Some other venders' cards using this chipset support 4 monitors.FWIW, this is about the cheapest current card that supports two dual-DVI monitors.

yea, the manual says it support 3 monitors, but same as Jorge, haven't tested

Yes - whatever output capabilities you have on your computer can be done with this. If you want to mirror or extend the monitor, that will work.

You are correct, this box only boosts and splits the identical output to 2 monitors. If you want to EXTEND your desktop to a second or third monitor, and your equipment doesn't already have a dual monitor video card (or if it is a laptop), then you need a device like the Plugable (brand) devices found on Amazon, which are USB to VGA/DVI/HDMI Adapters. There are at least 3 different models, one for USB 2.0 and one for USB 3.0, at various max resolutions and prices. Hope this helps!

This is only meant to mirror the picture between two displays. It will not create a second workspace or extension of your current monitor. This is meant for creating two monitors with the same picture. If you are looking to work with two monitors at the same time with different programs open on each of them. You will need either a video card with two outputs on it or two separate video cards. Does this make sense?

I'm not sure what you mean by mirrored, but I had 2 different monitors connected by this port so it would all look like one super large monitor. It worked great.

I have seen references to ATI Eyefinity software that is supposed to support three monitors from this card, but I have not installed that software, nor have I tried three monitors on the card I have ( two works well, and that's what I need personally ). Also, if you're forced to use a low profile card, you will only be able to see the hdmi and dvi ports with the lo profile adapter on the card.
