I have a laptop and want to use a quad monitor setup for my desk at home. Will this product work by extending my laptop display across all 4 monitors?

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

It will extend, but the extended desktop will be duplicated (or quadruplicated in this case) in all four monitors. This doesn't create 4 screens that sequentially extend your desktop.

I've seen it work using 4 monitors. Their data sheets say it will work with up to 6 monitors. There may be some restrictions depending on your systems graphics capability. I use it in a 3 monitor environment. Two 21" monitors on connected to the PC the other to the USB graphics and a 3rd 24" monitor plugged into my computer. I would think newer computers wouldn't have a problem with it but always the caveat that not all computer systems are equal. I've read enough that if you are using a laptop to drive this you won't get more than 4 monitors in most cases and that includes the one on the laptop. Hope this helps.

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. It supports up to 4 monitors. But you have to use 2 DVI, 1 HDMI, and 1 Display Port. If you have 3 monitors with only DVI, one of them will need an adapter.

This device put out the same videos as its input video.You can do what is stated only with the laptop built-in monitor and your TV or an external monitor. Then you can set one of the two monitors as the main and other as the extended display. It is technically possible but may not really practical because the size of the two monitors is too different.

Well I am not the seller and I wonder if I should be getting a kick back for helping sell this product lol anyways as long as you have a long enouph DVI cord then yes you can run 4 displays it would be up to you the user to decide what is too far from the PC but in short yes there are 4 outs they are stubby outs you provide the dvi cabeling to add the Ifinity software is included allowing for an infinate configurations this is the cheapest with the most configuration ability I have found I have boight this to run 4 monitors at one desk and it works flawless

Some of it will depend on your specific laptop and video card capabilities. We have successfully used this docking station to connect an HP 8770w with a Quadro K3000M video card to have two external monitors in addition to the laptop display. You will need to run one external monitor via the VGA connection in the back of the docking station, and the second monitor will need to be connected using the DisplayPort connection on the docking station and a DP-to-VGA adapter (it will not work using a DP-to-HDMI adaptor, or using the DVI connection on the back of the docking station).

I really don't know but that is an interesting question. Most laptops seem to have an easy way to use two screens and Windows will allow you to use more. You might try attaching a VGA monitor and trying for three that way, before springing for another USB monitor. If you try it and it works out, let us all know.

Not sure what display monitor extensions are, however I guess that it is something to enable viewing 4 different signals on 4 different displays. This is a Distribution Amplifier. It will take one signal in, and display that same signal on up to 4 displays. If you want to see 4 different signals on 4 different displays, you'll likely have to use 4 different computers, or perhaps 4 different video cards in one computer - with the appropriate software.

It will only duplicate what's on your monitor. You need additional hardware to have additional views on additional monitors.

It will extend your desktop too. It has some glitches like blacking out during high volume processing such as using ArcGIS tools. But for the price, it gets the job done. Next time I think I'll try a higher price product. The resolution with the VicTsing is actually better than plugging the second monitor into the Panasonic Toughbook's VGA connector!

Yes, I just tried as you described using my Dell Latitude E5530 and was able to extend desktop onto two monitors (one via adapter, other connected to VGA port) while utilizing the laptop display.

I'm not sure because I only use 3 monitors. There IS a selection to duplicate the display on monitors 1 AND 2, OR on monitors 1 AND 3. I don't know if you'd have the selection you want if 4 monitors were connected. I'd suggest that you email the manufacturer directly at support@visiontek.com and ask your question. Their website is at http://www.visiontek.com.

no it will not work, you will need to purchase an **active** display-port adapter in order to do 3 monitors. Atleast one of your 3 monitors will need to be set up with an active port and the other two can be hooked up with any other type of connection.

You can setup the Monitors and all three will 2 External and Laptop monitor will show. The Orientation is determined by the software and you can adjust it anyway you need it. Make sure you download the latest version of the software and reboot. I have installed on 3 MAC's now and It seems to work out better if you download the software reboot then plugin the hardware.

Yep, it's possible with docks like this Dynadock, or the Plugable Dock Plugable USB 2.0 Universal Docking Station with DisplayLink DVI/VGA up to 1920x1080, Audio, Ethernet, and 4 Available High-Speed USB 2.0 Ports. You just connect the extra monitor to the dock with its own cable, then the dock to the laptop with USB. So assuming that your laptop already has an external VGA port that you can get one external monitor connected to (try that first), then the dock then allows you to add a second external monitor. Your desktop can then be set to span all three screens (your laptop screen, and the two external monitors), which is a cool setup.

This cable will only duplicate 2 monitors. You will have your main screen example if you are using this on a laptop. Then you will have your laptop screen and you will have a extra screen on two monitors. Both of these monitors will display the same thing. If you want 3 separate monitors you will need another video card. I know they have a few Usb video card options
