Frequently Asked Questions
How long does switching between the two inputs take?
I am using one monitor for two systems. It switches over with a single button click. possibly 2 seconds.
The vga out wire appears to be already connected to the device? If so, what is the length of the vga out cable?
3 Feet. The monitor’s male plug is on the cable. You can always buy an extra VGA Cable with a female plug on one end and a male plug on the other if you need a longer run.
My laptop has a docking station; when the monitor is in the dock, Windows detects it and expands the desktop. Will the gadget let that to occur? It will. I currently use it in just that manner. Can I use an Apple USB charger with this device? How much power does it consume?****
I’m not certain. It is one of a number of devices that draw power from my PC using a typical USB connector. It doesn’t appear to draw much at all because it has never caused a problem. Despite having the same voltage as comparable devices, the iphone and ipad require somewhat more power. I would assume that you could utilise it, but I can’t guarantee it. If you really want to be extra safe, I would suggest asking the vendor before using.
A cable longer than 50 feet has anyone tried this with?****
I only used it on six-foot cords, which were short. Due of interference between the two sources, I had to return the equipment. The switch wasn’t adequately isolating the signals. I decided to get a Kramer switch instead. Although much more expensive, it generates a clear signal without any degradation.
Can you use this product to share the second monitor with another computer if you have a single computer with two monitors?****
Yes, no issue.
Does utilizing this result in any signal degradation?****
Using the connector did not result in any discernible signal degradation, in my opinion. However, the shared third monitor lost signal when I unplugged my laptop because the shared monitor requires both systems to be connected.
This adapter will allow me to connect my laptop to two monitors. That seems possible. To create three monitors, including my laptop and two external ones****
This VGA adapter displays output from your PC to two additional VGA monitors, making a total of three monitors.
Does this support a resolution of 1680 x 1050? Thanks.****
It claims to provide a resolution of around 1920 x 1440. Although I haven’t used it there, it performs well at lower levels.
Could I power the switcher using the USB ports on my monitor?****
The switch is not powered.
Is there software that lets me use just one keyboard and mouse and switch between two monitors?****
In my setup, I may choose “Duplicate,” “Extend,” or “Projector Only” from a menu by pressing FN+F4. One computer, two monitors, and no software are required. I’m not aware of any software that allows you to connect two computers to two monitors using a single keyboard.
