What kind of graphics card do you have? I'm guessing if you have a DVI-I/D connection, you can use a DVI to 2 DVI splitter. Or a VGA to 2 VGA splitter.

[Thank you AKM for your replying. I have a onboard graphic card. It's HP DC 7900C. I did bought a ATI FireMV2400, but it only gave me 2 cloned monitors and 2 extended monitors. I would like to have all 4 cloned monitors ( all 4 showing the same desktop/application). Thanks again

So you want the 4 monitors to display all the same information? Well you could try getting a cheap graphics card and hooking out two VGA to 2 VGA splitters to each VGA out port.

Again thank AKM. I guess I could do that way as you suggest. What I am looking for is a device ( a single device) I just need to connect to either VGA or DVI Port from my computer and it will clone the desktop to 4 or more monitors. I know there is some devices like that on the market. I would like to know if someone has ever used this kind of device and how reliable it is. Thanks for all your help AKM
