How do I connect this to a different monitor?

Yes, if you have a monitor that has a HDMI input, you can run a HDMI cable from the HP 14 to the monitor. You can "mirror" where both screens are the same, or you can "extend" where each screen has it's own area.

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

I am not using the adapter for that purpose. My need was to connect a second monitor to my desktop and it works perfectly. Installation was easy, plug the monitor cable into the adapter and plug the adaptor to the DVI port on the computer. Done, now have two monitors.

if this is a second monitor (meaning you already have one connected to the computer), then you would need a video card with dual video output. If you look on the back of the computer, see where the video cable is plugged in - try to see if there is a second connector that looks just like it. If you don't have a dual video card adapter, then you would need a new video card.

Actually, you can just use 1 DVI cable, 1 HDMI cable and 1 Displayport cable for the other monitors. You need monitors that have the connections though.

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

How can I use this monitor, as a secondary monitor, and how can I set up the touch screen function?

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.

This PC seems to have a HDMI port. You can buy a HDMI to DVI converter to attach a second monitor.

Depends what ports are on your laptop. This monitor has a VGA output only. so if you dont have a vga port, then you cant use this monitor. (technically you could.. but it would cost alot for converters and it would be better just to get another monitor). So google what a vga looks like.

InfiniteRecall has the correct answer. You need an active adapter which costs extra. It'll work, but kinda pricy. At that point you might as well look for a good deal on a monitor with DisplayPort, which only needs a mini-DP to DP cable (about $10).

Does the monitor work? Are you connecting it were another monitor was already connected? Already mentioned but is the monitor set to the right port? If you have more then just a new monitor you need to eliminate everything that is different in your new setup. Have you used the display port before? Is this a new cable? You already said the monitor was new.

You may run a single signal and split it to both monitors , that's how I wired mine.

You need to connect the monitor to the graphics card and not to the motherboard. The graphics cards DVI outs are the two located next to each other around the middle of the tower on the back.

Connect your monitor's USB3.0 cable (located on rear panel of monitor) to your computer's USB3.0 input (this is not the USB output plug of your video card) and the 4 USB ports on the side of your monitor act as extra inputs to the USB3.0 bus as if they were a USB3.0 HUB. No special cable is required other that the one supplied with your monitor.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to do so for two reasons 1. This monitor requires two USBs (one for power and the other for more power and the signal) 2. This monitor requires DisplayLink drivers which are only available for Mac, PC, and a couple variations of Linux as far as I now
