Ok say I have this split two ways. I unplug the cable from port 2 and hook up a third cable/monitor. Does output 1's screen flicker during this?

There should not be any noticeable change on Screen #1. If there is, look for a loose connection. Hope this helps.

You have to have a VGA out to run to the display splitter. This device splits and extends the VGA signal you already have coming out. You can set your VGA out to duplicate on to the output in your pc settings.

Check for loose wiring/loose fittings first. Second would be to try changing the resolution on screen. Last would be your monitor is going out. Let's hope that's not it.

I didn't have this issue, and I own two of the monitors. It may be defective, and I would also wonder which model you have (there are some S230HL models that have two DVI ports, some with two HDMI ports) as some were manufactured at earlier points in time. Personally, I'd return it and see if it was just a fluke.

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

I have had similar issues and thought it might have ben the monitor itself... the problem is that the HDMI cable was moving ever so slightly as we manipulated our rig and the weight of the HDMI cable itself helped it to wiggle out just a little bit and lose connection. Nothing a little gaffer tape couldn't fix. After figuring out what was going on we have yet to see it lose signal again.Hope This helps!

Yes. Plug the HDMI connector of the cable in your TV and dvi to your other display device. I watched a movie online on laptop connected to my smart tv and there was no flicker.

When plugged into power, the monitor still appears to be "off," with no blue screen or anything. When a video signal is supplied, the monitor powers on in under a second, but I don't know exactly how quick. The screen goes black (off) as soon as the video signal stops. Hope this helps!

No. If the key word is DIFFERENT this simply splits the signal for 2 identical monitors. I am on a splitter to 50' for one room and 6' at the computer. Works perfect for me to have 2 security monitors in 2 different locations. BTW I bought a good 50' cable.

Good question, you should be able to run one through the monitor plug and one plugged into the HDMI port.

sorry, it has been so long since we hooked it up i forgot. There were 2 hot wires going to the monitor, one did not go on automatically so i used the other. The unit works well, after several months.

Sounds defective. I haven't had any issue like that with mine and I have two monitors hooked up with them going to a docking station.

I would use a DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter, especially since the monitor requires DVI-D for high resolutions. I would think splitting it would reduce the video bandwidth or bits per pixel.

Is it both vga ports or just one if its just one try the other when the factory sends these computer out they usually disable one of the vga ports or you could try using dvi or hdmi for a solution hope i helped srry if i didnt

Never (using this monitor since 6-13). Do you have a message on the screen when this happens - "no xx input," etc.? Check cables.

You need to run RCA signal cables for both. I used a BOSS video splitter for four monitors.

Sorry you are experiencing issues. We had none. We hooked it up and both monitors are displaying just fine.
