Anyone using this in a dual monitor configuration? How well does it work like this (switching between screens, etc.)?

I use it in a 3 Monitor configuration and it works fine for me. I have it as the smallest LCD, then a 24" LCD, and a 32" LCD. And I can switch between them all just fine.

Yes i am. Actually i have two monitors and my tv hooked up. Switiching is fine i have two monitors if similar size so mouse transition is smooth and level with the borders

How can I use this monitor, as a secondary monitor, and how can I set up the touch screen function?

Please elaborate. Kvm switch gives you the ablity to connect two pc's and have them be connected to the kvm switch so you use only one monitor for two pcs. Mine is setup on my pc so my main display is hdmi and my secordary is this so i can quickly switch between pcs if im repairing one.

Thanks ioioi210. That's pretty lame that they advertise support for dual monitors then. While technically you can have two monitors lit up, I don't think most people are looking for mirrored displays.

I used dual monitors via using the hdmi with a tv and the normal port for a normal monitor. The graphics handled it perfectly. I could watch shows on one and play games on the other. I had no issues doing this. As for two normal monitors I'm unsure since I haven't tried.

I don't think you can. You can only use one monitor at a time with this switch. I use mine to watch movies that are streamed on my PC and have it connected to my TV. I also had to connect an audio cable from my PC to my TV.

Yes, this is exactly how I use it. I have it even set so that the monitor is the primary screen and the laptop is an extended second screen. Plus, I get the benefit of my regular keyboard and mouse all with two simple connections.

I read somewhere that, it supports a resolution of 2560x1600. so it should support dual monitors if the total resolutions falls under this. I'm using nVidia GPU, so I never tried the onboard hdmi or DVI.

I'm running dual screens. It depends upon your video card I believe and not the monitors if you have two video outputs etc.

Hi, I haven't actually tried this myself and don't have a spare monitor home to attempt it. But if its not displaying to the second monitor after connection the hdmi port, try going to control panel and changing the display settings. Sometimes the settings for the display remains on the main monitor only and you have to set how you want the computer to handle the second monitor. You could usually set it to duplicate the same screen on two monitors with either both on or the main one off; or it can be set to span the desktop image accross the two displays.

Not concurrently, in my experience. It will let you toggle between 2, if you have 3 connected. If you want to have a third monitor for basic 2-D stuff, you might get one of those add on USB-DVI/VGA devices, but they are CPU intensive.

I don't recall any significant or annoying delay. Maybe milliseconds, certainly not a second or more. Once switched, no display anomalys, BUT the computer that is connected/switched in upon boot up will connect at better resolution than the computer which is not, so one had a higher resolution than the other upon switching back and forth. Can't recall, but can probably set the 2nd computer resolution after switching.

I am not sure. In theory it should work but I don't know if it will allow you to toggle between the screens in the way that you want. As it is right now, it takes a long time to get the laptop to switch from its own screen to the monitor that I have. Most of the time I just put it in sleep mode but I am finding that my computer does not like being left in sleep mode indefinitely.

It preforms well when plugged into anything with an hdmi output. Making text and icons match on both screens just requires a match up of resolutions. That's more of the software side. It'll do what you want it to do, however if you just want an external monitor this one's a bit on the expensive side. Only buy it if you REALLY want the 1440p resolution touch screen, otherwise you can get a much cheaper 1080p touch screen that has better latency.

When you go to DEVICES in Windows 8 it shows connection for 2nd screen if connected. I have not done this but assume you would go one on VGA and the other on HDMI. I ASSume it should work that way.

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

No, this is not a switch. This simply lets two monitors have the same picture

I used it for VGA and DVI which works very well. I constantly switch between the two modes in a four monitor set up on one machine and a two monitor setup on another (both setups share one monitor). It also supports HDMI, which I do not used.
