@Zoltan, so you used this to extend (not mirror) your display? I have a Mac and would like to use two external monitors with different information.

Yes, it does extend the display. But from my experience it is transparent to the computer, so the computer has no idea that there are 2 monitors. Therefore if you set any window to "full screen" it will span across both monitors. This is different (and not quite as handy) as other dual monitor solutions where the computer is aware of both monitors.

I have plugged a monitor via VGA and the USB monitor and had success, I would think 2 USB monitors would work.I am on a MAC Book Pro

Yes, and it worked out fine for displaying images and else. But not the brightness adjustment and auto-rotate though. That's Mac's compativity issue, not the monitor's.

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?

Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these. I know there are directions that say "the third monitor must use the adapter" but it's actually 2 out of the 3 screens need to have them in order to work. I'm using an older mac pro tower and it has 2 mini display ports and 1 dvi. I have the 2 mini display cables each running through an Accell adapter, and then my third screen goes straight from dvi to hdmi to the TV. Make sure all of your connections are seated properly, I thought my adapters went out but it was the weight of the cable "pulling" slightly on my HDMI. I've been using these for a few months now and they haven't failed yet! Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these.

If you have two monitors, you just uncheck mirror in display setting, it will become mirror off (Dual) mode (For Mac)

Cleoo,You have to understand there are many people who do not know or understand how to use many computer devices. I can't answer the question for you because I don't run or have access to a MAC, sorry about that. My neighbor has one and I can try to see if they have time and test it on their computer and let you know. Regards,Charlie

Well yes and know. It is a mini display port and USB extension cable. Many if not all of the Apple computers that have a Thunderbolt portfor the monitor output will work if you connect a mini-display port monitor. I know you can do this with a mac mini as I did it in the Apple store. You won't be able to daisy chain the thunderbolt to connect other devices. So in some circumstances I have seen people connect an external thunderboltdrive and then a mini-display port at the end of the chain and it works.

That's how I use this for, external monitor. Since there are two types of display port for Macbook Pro, make sure you buy the right one. My Macbook Pro was bought couple of years ago so it usese thunderbolt display port.

It didn't work for me... Do you have two monitors that each have VGA connectors, but you have a computer that has one VGA port and one HDMI port? That is what I had, and I found although this seems like it would connect the two, it doesn't work. I found success with an adaptor that connected via the USB port that was ~$40 from Best Buy. I had failed with this cable as well as two other splitters. The spitters left me with mirror images/replicas and this connector quite frankly did nothing. Good luck!

You should really have a USB3 hub for this EVGA adapter. I believe you can use both HDMI and DVI simultaneously. One of my co-workers tested it out and it seemed to work fine on his 2012 Macbook Pro. You may also be able to use the thunderbolt port and get a MiniDP-&gt;DVI (or hdmi) adapter for a third monitor.

I have one here for that purpose but have not had time to connect them. I have run a Mac Mini into the Dell and it looks fine except for some issues in the top menu bar. Take a look at the article on the diglloyd blog (Lloyd Chambers is a noted photo reviewer and mac guy) where he tests this exact set up and gives it two big thumbs up as well as set up instructions which are pretty much plug and play.I assume from this that the MacBook has a better graphics card then the Mini.Anyway I just did a 2 second fire it up test to see and yes the image came right up and the menu bar was perfect.

I cannot see what the problem with this adapter and a Mac would be?? I'm using it with a Mac Pro late 2013 and a 4K Dell display. It works flawlessly with full resolution and 60 Hz - under Mac OS 10.9 as well as Windows 8.1.

No. This will mirror your screen not expand it. If you want to add another screen you will need either thunderbolt or a usb graphics adapter.

I am not sure how your MacBook conects to external monitors but a standard VGA cable works just fine when conecting to a PC. I hope this helps

I use one of these: ASIN: B00C7RJQPY "Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in Black 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready" with mine. It works great. Very happy with my monitor purchase. No regret at all.I have a MacBook Pro mid2010.

Yes. Ha,ha ... I use mine to extend my desktop and it works fine. Don't forget to change your windows settings for dual monitors. If you don't, then all you will do is duplicate the monitor. Hope this helps!
