Can you extend the desktop to an external monitor? I have a 701. I like it except the kbd and display is too small. I use external at my desk and the portability trumps the problems. The vga port on the 701 simply copies the display to an external monitor.How about the 1000? Does it allow display extension or simply a larger copy? Can someone help me figure out how to determine this feature from standard laptop specs? No one mentions it explicitly.Thanks! Can you extend the desktop to an external monitor? I have a 701.

I installed WinXP and you can extend the desktop with a utility provided by Intel. I have it connected to a 21" monitor at 1600x1200 resolution. The max resolution it supports is 1920x1080.

If you connect an external display, you can have the desktop display on either or both, and in higher resolution when displaying only on the external display. You can't however (so far as I've seen), have the two displays both on at once and showing different parts of a desktop as on a PC or Mac.

It can if the grey end fits with your laptop (or desktop computer. Laptop or desktop doesn't matter, you just need the right VGA connectability). The grey end is not a regular VGA end, It's a bit bigger. If it does fit your laptop or computer, than you can extend the screen as long as your computer already has the video card capability. Otherwise, the second monitor will just be a double of the first. For my desktop, its internal video card can only support one monitor, so I bought a VGA splitter cable with gigabit ethernet so that my desktop could extend the display among the first monitor and an extra monitor. Hope this helps :) It can if the grey end fits with your laptop (or desktop computer. Laptop or desktop doesn't matter, you just need the right VGA connectability).

I have an HP laptop and this device gave me three monitor capabilities. I can use the laptop's screen as well as a monitor connected to the laptop's VGA port and another monitor connected to this USB device's VGA port. So counting the laptop's monitor, I have three screens available when using this device. All I had to do was load the software that came with this device and then connect it to a USB. While setting up the dual monitors, which is all that I had expected to be able to use, I found out I could also use my laptop's screen. I have a docking station for my HP at home and the software only sees two external monitors. I don't use a docking station in the office and I can use all three screens.

to use different laptops with 1 monitor you will have to use the VGA connector , the USB is only for power and switching on a KVM switch. If you aren't using a KVM switch the USB is simply a straight through USB cable.

I bought an Asus 1000HE earlier in the year. Love it! Just bought a 26 inch Panasonic Viera TV. There is a VGA input on the TV. I found a VGA cable, both sides have the dual screw head, and tried to do a simple connection from Asus to Viera. Didn't work. Do I need another cable? One without screws on one side. Thank you.

This cable converts an HDMI output to a VGA output. That is, it does not add a new video output it merely changes the connector on an existing output. that being said if your are able to plug in an HDMI monitor or HDTV and extend your laptop video (most laptops WILL do this) then this cable will allow you to use a VGA monitor to extend your laptop display. To be sure search for your laptop make and model using Google and add "dual display" to the search string. Something will come up if this is possible.

To clarify, it will allow you to expand your screen, but only with one additional monitor. To expand further, you will need an additional graphics adapter to add a third display. However, while I have not tried it myself, I have heard some say they've had success running an additional thunderbolt display off the same port, but I've also heard others say it won't work.

Assuming you have the right connector and you have the USB plugged in to the computer (because the extra power is required), you can try going to Display Preferences and hitting the Option key. A button should pop up to show the available resolutions. I had to do this with my 27" monitor.

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.

you can connect to an external monitor, but graphics card will not support split screen. you will have the same screen on both monitors. as for keyboard, any usb keyboard will work.

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.

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.

No.... It will only display the same image on both screens. So you can extend your desktop but the two monitors will only show the same picture, your laptop screen would be different.

I'm not sure, but I think you're asking one of 2 questions here. So as to not make any assumptions. . . In order to connect the monitor to your laptop, you need to have an open VGA port and USB port, one that you plug the big blue VGA cord into, and one to plug the small USB cord into. A lot of laptops these days don't have the big VGA ports anymore, you might need to get an adapter. I didn't have to do this, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. 2nd, go to this website: http://frenden.com/post/38693256477/yiynovamsp19u Ray will teach you that you need to go install the appropriate drivers BEFORE plugging in the Yiynova monitor. The drivers can be found in a couple of places, but you should try the ones that come packaged with the monitor first. Ray Frenden is a really good digital artist, he's the one who turned a lot of people onto the Cintique-alternatives in the first place. 3rd. It should definitely work, but there's a chance there could be some bugs in it. If so, head over to this website: http://draw2much.deviantart.com/journal/Monoprice-Tablet-FAQ-for-Windows-7-342426446 I don't know if you're working with Windows 7 or Mac OS or what, but since I do Windows, this worked for me. They give you a good understanding of some of the common glitches (my brush sensitivity would randomly stop, leaving huge streaks between points)\ I hope this helps! Steve

i am displaying my Dell E6520 on dual 24" monitors connected via std VGA cables coming off the e/port. can't say how your configuration will work but mine is flawless and the extended desktop improves productivity greatly. note: only one monitor will have the start button and taskbar unless you install a utility like multimon or similar.

Yes you can. I have 2 27 inch monitors which have 1 inch bezels. I am at the absolute extent . I could tuck the internal bezels of the external monitors however they are 3d monitors that I span using Invidia surround. For the spanning and 3d to work best I need as much of a plane as possible. This is a great product solid and a fantastic value. I originally bought the 1 tier model but I upgraded to the hex. onthe top tier I have a Dell 30in 2560x 1600 flanked by 2 Samsung 20in 1200x1600 in portrait.

All indications are that yes, this monitor works with the Display port (1.2) input BUT I have been reading in the Dell forums that these monitors may have a bug from dell manufacturing. While using display port 1.1 all seems find but when trying to daisy chain displays and enable display port 1.2, the monitors become undetectable. Here is the rub, I am NOT using display port, I am using DVI cables supplied by dell and I get the same issue where intermittently a monitor(s) disappear and just can not be detected until the dvi cable(s) are removed from said monitor(s) and replaced - This is terrible. Finally the monitor in question just died and will not power on. I now have to send the monitor to dell to be fixed. Finally, I switched back to one of my older 22" LED monitors to use with the second working 27" Dell and now IT is exhibiting the same behavior - God help me.... In sum, Is the monitor worth it? OH My, yes it is! It looks Fantastic! BUT make sure your purchase some luck and patience because it looks like there are firmware issues on these monitors and the fixes are slow in coming and may require that the third party video card developers may need to tweak their drivers to fully work with these monitors. In the development/manufacturing world this would be considered as a debacle and now I am in the middle of it. Sheesh...
