That depends completely on the hookups you have in the back of your laptop. If it supports HD, then do HD. This monitor has pretty much all of the common display ports, and thus it is your laptop that determines what cord you should use.

The HP has a number of different input connectors any of which can be used equally well. Look at your lap-top and find the connector for the monitor. Take a piece of paper and trace the ouline. Make a small drawing of the pins. Do the same for the Monitor. The go to somewhere like Best Buy with the two pics and ask the for a cord.

Depends on the port on your laptop. It'll be either HDMI or mini display port. You have to know the port type.

It only comes with a VGA cord. the vga to hdmi adapter should work fine. The quality won't be as good of course, but it will work. You could just hook into the VGA plug on the back of the monitor as well. I am using a StarTech HDMI(male) to DVI(female) converter, since the PC comes with DVI and that works very well.

It should have came with a cord that is like a splitter. The video card supports two monitors but you need that splitter to plug them both in. It should have a black plug that goes into the computer and two blue plugs that come out and go into the monitors.

Just ... plug it into your laptop's video out slot, it'll just work like any monitor would. Right click your desktop wallpaper and select "Screen Resolution" to make any other adjustments you want regarding the screen locations and resolutions, etc...

Not sure what your red cable is? This is a hdmi to vga adapter. I've successfully connected a laptop to a projector and also to a vga monitor (the resolution automatically adapted). On a Chromebook you get an extended desktop view. I've found this to work well for me.

If you have a apple laptop and intend to use display port (only good option), then you need an adaptor because the display port cord is full sized for chaining together with other monitors, not to connect to a laptop

I didn't set up the computer and my son wasn't sure. We also bought a new computer at the same time and after setting up both pieces, I do know that we didn't have to purchase any cords/cables or use the ones from our previous computer. I checked the box and it shows a short cable as well as a plug in coming with the monitor. Hope this helps!

The monitor does come with VGA cables. Simply plug in the connectors between the laptop and the monitor and you should be good to go.If the it's a Mac laptop, you will need the appropriate Mac Video connector for displayport (something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B005H3I38Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1382850181&sr;=8-2&keywo;rds=displayport+hdmi) and an HDMI cable, and then connect the adapter end into the Mac, and the HDMI cable into the back.Hope this helps!

You probably already have this answered, but you need to connect a 2nd cable from the monitor to the computer. It's the one that has a squarish end fitting at the monitor, and a USB fitting on the other end that goes to the computer. This takes away one USB port at your computer, but gives you 4 at the monitor in return.

There is actually an hdmi port on the monitor, so I'm just using a regular hdmi cable from my computer, works great.

did you try this for connecting the external monitor to your laptop. I have a dell laptop and want to buy it for the same use.

Hi JoyceI like to experiment and use things for purposes they weren't really made for. Most times it works. What u propose here could be done if you had an external 12v dc power supply and a rca type "video out" port on your laptop. Caution: Being an experiment, there is a chance you could damage both, the monitor and/or your laptop. Never having seen your laptop, I can't address compatibility so if you have the correct connections or are experienced in electronic modification it could be possible but there are risks as stated above. ~mjp

Your laptop must have a HDMI output to use this cable. If not, you will need an adapter of some kind. VGA to HDMI or something else that will work with yours.

If you have an extra display port not in use on the laptop and you want to connect it to a VGA monitor you would want to get this, otherwise no it wouldn't. You probably want a USB to (DVI, HD, VGA) adaptor so you can add an extra display adaptor.
