Does this device allow you to run one application window in one screen and a DIFFERENT application in the other screen? Or is it same in both screens?

Yes this device allows me to run one app in one screen and another app in the other screen. So basically with my laptop as one screen, and the monitor connected to laptop's dvi output and then the usb connection with this device gives me my third monitor and I can extend my desktop to all 3 monitors using different applications displayed. Please don't forget to restart your system after you install the accompanying CD with this product.

The video card does allow you to run a DIFFERENT application in the other screen. Often, this card is used to add a THIRD monitor, so you can be running three applications in that example, independently. However, please note that the video card uses a USB which limits the refresh rate or transfer rate and therefore the monitor seems "laggy" and does not do streaming video well. It is best used for simple browsing or text documents. As long as you are ok with that, then its a great tool to provide an extra monitor. Cheers and good luck.

Two separate screens - full resolution on both - as many different windows and applications as you like. You can drag windows from one screen to the other. I've had a Word doc, an Excel sheet, a pdf, and email up at once, two on each wide screen monitor.

To echo the others' responses - yes, it allows different applications on all of the monitors. It essentially gives you one huge desktop. The best (and free) program to manage this is called "Display Fusion" which lets you "stretch" your wallpaper from one monitor to another. Here's a picture of my system (if Amazon allows links) http://www.flickr.com/photos/diannewood/8230467243/sizes/l/in/photostream/

It allows you to run whatever capabilities your 'puter displays, and you can slide windowsacross as if it is one big wide screen.

It allows you to add additional screens to your system. I have a toshiba laptop with two of them connected and a third monitor connect via built-in vga. everything has been working great for 4+ basically 24x7. No problems. I run two displays with browser/excel and the third with vs2012. drag-n-drop functonality works as designed. no difference if you connected directly to your system built-in external connections or not. I 'think' reasonable upward limt should be three devices. base on process or speed and memory. I have i7 core and 8GB ram.

It allows you to run one application window in one screen and a DIFFERENT application in the other screen. And if you have two adapters, you can have three separate screens. However, some applications seem to pick the window they will run in and I don't know how to force this type to another. Please also be aware that there is a maximum resolution allowed with this device so if you have a screen and wonder why you cannot get the highest resolution this could be a reason. When running games, your other windows may stay visible but you may be restricted to working on a single screen -- in my experience, if you are able to click on one of the other windows you may pause and/or lose visibility to the games. I use a an applications which use two or more screens -- free photo editing software "the Gimp" which allows some control by moving a box to another screen so you have your picture and some parts of control in one window and some toolbars in another window which works good for me. Also for church, we use EasySlides (Easislides) -- for this application we have a main control window running on the laptop screen and two separate screens for projection -- one uses vGA connection and one uses the startech device. I hope this helps.

it allows you to run one application in one screen and a different one on the other screen. For example, have Excel on one screen and Outlook on the other. It extends the screen.

I run multiple applications at the same time. You can place any application window on either screen.

2 screens. 1 screen controls the playback.. 2nd screen duplicates 1st screen.

No, But that way you can decide if you prefer a touch monitor or not, which is an option with Windows 8. There's also the option of dual monitors.

Sorry. Cannot help with this answer. Never tried using multiple devices at the same time.

I have often had the app open on my phone as well as simultaneously on my laptop and can view each clearly. Can control the camera with each as well (while both apps open). Hope this helps.

No. But it is nice to have it if you regularly switch between different settings. It also give you different options for splitting your screen.

I didnt yet. Only my laptop so far. Im sure you can. Its such a good program that even if they only gave you one load one computer, it would dtill be worth it. Im sure you can load on both.

Sorry, it does not, it will only duplicate the existing screen, basically just doubles the view... Good for two monitors pointing different ways...

When you go to DEVICES in Windows 8 it shows connection for 2nd screen if connected. I have not done this but assume you would go one on VGA and the other on HDMI. I ASSume it should work that way.

Not really. It comes with a windows app to sync the device but it also brings a windows emulator for mac. So, in a mac the app runs on top of the emulator. It works fine

No. The All-in-one is both a touchscreen Monitor and an Android desktop. It does not run Windows 8 by itself but it can be used as a touchscreen monitor of a Windows 8 machine. In other words, to run Windows 8 you still need to connect it to a Windows 8 desktop.

You can install the apps in 2 devices; I have all the apps on the explorer as well as the LeapPad; it makes for a better value if you have more than 1 device.

Hi Donald, thank you for your question. Yes, the connected monitors can be configured to either mirror your main screen, or extend the Windows desktop, allowing visibility of more application at the same time. This HT-UD01 USB Display Dock can also be configured to be the primary display.

No this will show one thing on 2 separate displays. For example, if you pull up Facebook, it will be shown on both monitors. You need a separate port on the computer or a switching device to be able to do what you want. I, too, purchased this thinking it would "split" the display.

I am not familiar with the gaming applications. However, from what I understand one cannot run two PC's simultaneously with this item. I could be wrong, but that was my understanding when I purchased it.

No, unfortunately. This device is not what you wanted it to be (at least not what I expected it could do) and is still limited to use with apps that are specifically designed for it and not for everyday computer use or integration with other devices.

Yes - and just try to set this device for just one program! 2 stations, one program. Not possible. Not explained. Threw this thing in the garbage.
