How do you link up to 6 displays? Do you have to buy 6 of these units?

Yes you will need to buy six of these and a high powered USB hub that has its own power suplly - with 3 amps wall transformer. I tried running six from one USB port on my laptop (using a passive usb hub powered by usb port) and my laptop would get hot and the internal fan would spin very high. Make a search on Amazon for Plugable 7 Port High Speed USB 2.0 Hub with 3A Power Adapter.

Depending on your existing setup you may need up to 6 units plus the available ports (HDMI, DVI, SVGA, USB, etc) on your computer for the 6 units. I have 4 monitors currently, 2 of which use the HDMI and DVI ports that came standard on my video card. These monitors do NOT need the Sabrent adapters. The other two monitors are attached via the USB ports and DO have the Sabrent adapters. I'm using the older Sabrent adapters but I remember how easy it was to get them working. It took every bit of 5 minutes to unpack them, hook them up and they worked right out of the box the first time! I'm not sure if there is a limit on the number of monitors. I don't see why six would be a problem so long as you have the available ports to plug them in and an operating system that can manage them.

i have 6 tv's, i will need a unit for each. "Question" do I have to pay extra for more than one unit?

I used mine to watch my Mom during her illness, I had no need for additional monitors. Check with the manufacturer to see if you purchase 2 sets they could be connected.

The unit would need a standalone video card to project to two monitors..It is not equipped with the video card..Thanks

Yes you can, though i'd recommend using through mini display port if you just want to link the monitor, unless you want to link to a tv i'd use HDMI. However yes you can have total of two monitors in extended mode

I have tested as many as 3 monitors using 2xDVI+1xHDMI, but because the card includes 2 DisplayPort and supports MST, in theory you could have more than 5 if you buy MST hublike this http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/mst-hub-1-3.html

If the TVs and the projector are not too far away you can use a 1 to more HDMI splitter to achieve the setup. If you are looking to deploy 3 WPS-HDs next to the 3 displays and project the same screen, no, it doesn't work that way.

Yes, you could easily do that. You would tell monitor 1 and 2 to use "extended desktop" then tell 3 to duplicate 1 and tell 4 to duplicate 2. I just checked the settings on the one I'm using right now and it works just like you say. You would just need longer cables to reach the other location.

This is simply a splitter that duplicate input signal. 4 different "monitor/TV" screens will have the exactly same content. For multiple displays with different content, you need multi-display graphics adapters.

My understanding is that 4 panels can be linked together but no more without having a separate controller. Call the company, their customer support is amazing.

There are 2 DisplayPort plugs, 1 HDMI, 1 VGA and 1 DVI. I've had no problems running a dual-monitor setup, but I doubt that whatever humble business laptop you're docking this into has the GPU capability to simultaneously display on 4 monitors. A better question you should be asking yourself is why on earth would you want a quad-monitor setup for docking your laptop. Swordfish was just a movie dude.

no. this device willduplicate the same thing on all four monitors. whatever signal you run into it will be duplicated on all four displays. if you want to extend your desktop, spanning it over four different displays would require a video card on your computer disigned for four seperate outputs.

Yes, you can connect two of them together. The device monitors all 8 inputs via the front facing screen. I assume that each device would continue to monitor its respective inputs.

There are 2 digital out and 1 HDMI mini on mine so likely 3 monitors can be connected although I only have 2 connected to my GTX780. Check the specs for the card you are buying to see how many outputs it has.

Yep. I believe you can hook up a max of 6. I had no prob adding this to my existing set of 3

Yes. In my six-monitor setup, I have it setup as four monitors, 3 individual (separate) displays across the top and as a three-across single 5076x1280 display across the bottom. The bottom three monitors act as one large display (great for gaming). What is nice is that while there are times you want to "span" monitors, sometimes you want individual displays instead and the Eyefinity software (for my AMD card) makes this easy to switch back and forth. Note that if your ATI (or Nvidia) card supports three simultaneous outputs out-of-the-box then you might not need this hub, but yes, you can stretch across monitors just fine.

Yes, according to the box and manual this card supports up to 6 screens. I don't have six screens to hook up, but 3 work just fine.
