hello, not a genius with 'putters, but I think I get your question. as long as you have a compatible connection on your monitor, it should work fine. your computer should have at least two ports for the plug in receiver. older monitors? hmmm. on this one, to be safe, I would contact the manufacturer, or amazon, their tech team are usually great on this stuff. this mouse is great though..... second purchase, the second was for my mother, and you know you CAN'T screw that up! best of luck! sorry I could not be more definitive.

I belive so but I haven't tried that. If not you could get a converter for the display port or DVI to make it work with your monitor.

Yes, it is possible to hook up a computer via the HDMI input on the receiver.

I hooked my computer to it through hdmi and it worked fine. Don't know about USB.

If your monitor has an adc connector on it this will work. One function will not, power on through the monitor.

The issue will be power, it uses two powered USB ports for power supply. The port on the monitor is a micro USB you could probably use alternate means of power. I don't have the power specs on hand to advise what would be best for alternative power.

Sorry, ktrader. I can only answer about my Dell Inspiron 17R 5721 which is a top of their line. The best bet is to go to the Logitech website. This receiver looks quite compatible with any regular USB port. It's working smoothly and optimally so far for me. I hope some more tech savvy people can answer more thoroughly.

The USB ports work fine here, I have not had any issues. I use them all the time. You need to make sure you plug the USB cord from the monitor into a USB port on your tower though.

It never worked for me, so idk. I'd imagine that the computer would still see a DP, and the monitor an HDMI. All the converter is doing is moving pins around.

not directly but you can't plug the receiver into the back of the pc than it will not read

Displayport is not the same as a USB connector. They just are not interchangeable.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

No. The signal is going the other way.. It converts mini display port to sVideo monitor. And it doesn't always work with my computers.

No USB port but it has two VGA cable inputs that you can connect to almost all PC's. Do a search for "VGA Splitter" will cost about $10.00 and will allow you to connect both your monitor and your projector at the same time! You will also want to get a longer cable most likely as the one that comes with the unit is only 5' in length. You can get those on Amazon as well 25-50' for under $10.00 as well. search "VGA Cable"

I ended up throwing that one away because I needed one that sent a signal to the receiver from the computer and it does not do that. It seems to work only from a component to the computer but not out of the computer. Hope that helps.

If the monitor is a desk setup, I would use an USB to DVI adapter. This works for conference room projection in my mind.

No, The Display Port connection is a different plug, it won't fit into a USB port.
