Connect the two with an HDMI cable. Then tell laptop to go to 2nd monitor..

Yes indeed! I use this with a 10" netbook when I need to see more detail. Just make sure you go into your DISPLAY in the control panel of your OS or you might have a toggle on your keyboard if you don't want both screens on at the same time. This is an excellent size screen that doesn't take up much room.

No, this won't work for you (the ports are reversed from what you want: your laptop must have an HDMI port, and your monitor must have VGA port).

You should be able to use an HDMI out from your laptop along with a USB to the monitor, and use it as a large touch tablet. You may need to change some settings, but you can close the laptop and only use the external monitor if you want.

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.

I bought this for my grandson and he doesn't live with me. I would suggest you Google the Laptop and see if they have details about HDMI. Have been really happy with this laptop (he says) and especially liked being able to purchase with Windows 7.

the box uses a VGA Output, not sure if you can you a laptop, as its an output not an input, you might need a monitor for a VGA input

Whatever the max resolution your integrated can push out should be in your laptop manual. You could go to device manager and properties of your display adapter and check that way.If its not within 1080p the resolution will look distorted and fuzzy, or it might shrink to the size that it is capable of.

Good morning, this device does not work for your laptop, first because it is a size 10 "when your laptop is 15.6,also this is a touch screen dipositive, not an LCD.regards

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

I used a DisplayPort to a DVI-D cord. Unfortunately, the HDMI only works out, not in. However, the screen resolution is still nice and sharp.

I was so happy with this monitor, i bought another one to extend the display. I use a laptop HDMI connection. But i am unable to extend the display on the two HP monitors. Second one is not getting any signals. Does anyone know how to make this work?

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

I believe the computer only had Display Port out and you'll need an adapter. did you use an adapter? http://www.amazon.com/Startech-DP2HDMI-DisplayPort-Adapter-Converter/dp/B0017K6BDW

Just use HDMI from your laptop to the monitor, it's a better interface. That's the way mine is connected.

It will be the nicest monitor you ever connected a computer to. Use HDMI out from your computer.

It should work just fine. You will need to go into Screen Resolution and Extend the monitor. After connecting, be sure to reboot your laptop.

The monitor supports DVI and VGA inputs so if your laptop can output to either of those then you should be good to go. I have a VGA cable going from my Dell Latitude to the monitor without any problems.
