Will this allow me to hook up two monitors to one computer and use a split screen between the two (i.e., email on one screen, document on the other)?

No, it will not. It will only allow you to see the same image on two monitors. It is only electrically copying the output.

Yes you will but I don't think you will like the results...very poor pics on both monitors..you cut the power in half so you get half the quality!

Yes it will. it will also allow you to hook up to three (3) monitors all to one (1) laptop or computer. it works well. download the software & set it up. it that simple.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but if your graphics card can handle it you can use a splitter to have 2 monitors hooked up to your computer. You have different things pulled up on either monitor, so you could have a word document open on one and research in a browser opened on the other.

I'm not sure what you are asking when writing about an external monitor and then about main monitor. This device can only work with a single monitor that can be connected to either a desktop or to the laptop.

No don't work with 2 monitors simultaneously, only with one on HDMI or DVI.

Yes it can. I have purchased several of these for our office and they work great with dual monitors. You have to be sure to get the e-port plus. It has two DVI ports and it supports extended display, and mirroring.

no, you can get a special adapter and split the two monitors. it only has one hdmi port, no dvi or vga connections so if you want good resolution you need a graphics card with two ports i would recommend getting a dedicated graphics card with two ports,, if you split each monitor would be splitting up the resolution because it would be a single output stretched across two monitors, i use one and it works fine, and windows 8.1 comes preinstalled, dell and windows will automatically update it for you,, if you want Microsoft office you have to pay $70 for it and there's an app for that.

It will connect one VGA connector (such as computer output) to another (such as monitor input). It is not designed to split one output into dual outputs.

Yes it will. I actually use 2 monitors and bought 2 of these and they work well.

I have it setup so that either of my laptops can use one central monitor. First you need to figure out what you want your central monitor to be, plug that central source into the VGA out, then the two devices you want to use this display would be plugged into the two in ports.

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.

Yes you can use dual monitors with it. bear in mind that the video card has the correct pin configuration. It is not the standard VGA connection to the computer

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that? I have always just used one monitor for two computers.

If you pull up a document, you will see the same document on two monitors. You will not be able to move documents between monitors. That is what I wanted to do. This product will not let you do what you want to do. I thought, perhaps, I just needed to download a driver. So, I went to their website. And, their website did not work.

As the above poster said, probably not. It will allow you to add a second monitor. It's possible if your laptop has dvi, you might be able to use it simultaneously. However, sometimes the dvi is just the DisplayPort converted.

Yeah, you don't have to use 2 monitors. You can use this instead of the mini display port.

I used this device for (2) computers, each computer had a DVI and a VGA and was using those ports for dual monitors.This device allowed me to switch between the two computers on both monitors for each.Based on that, I believe if you used the DVI on one channel, and then the VGA on the other channel, that this would work.That being said, you may be better off just getting a DVI-VGA adapter and using a cheap switch.

Not with this device. Also, supposedly this device can also switch back and forth between two monitors from one computer. It doesn't do that either. In fact the one I bought did nothing at all and I threw it away.
