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.

I think it will. I used it to connect my laptop to my television. It works great.

It depends on what kind of laptop you have and what kind of port you have. I have a mac and I thought that since it had a usb it would work but I was totally wrong and it didn't. If you have a VGA (15 pin) port in you computer this will work. I recommend looking up what Kind of cord you will need for your computer so you can save yourself the pain and $$ of not knowing like me. I hope this helps!

You are using the laptop screen resolution for the external monitor. After the external monitor is connected right click on the desktop and go to display properties and match the drivers to the external monitor

There is no reason why the monitor will not work. I have a similar configuration with my ViewSonic, that utilizes both a desktop and a Laptop. The desktop is attached using a Docking Device. Both systems are running Windows 8.

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.

If your laptop has a USB 3.0 port, you should be fine. That's how I connect. Laptops open, and I use two external 23" monitors as well.

The monitor is a "slave" to your desktop/laptop and does have an hdmi port. If your desktop/laptop supports hdmi format you're ready to "plug & play" with this monitor.

1. Yes, it will support two external monitors. 2. The dock plugs into an available USB 3.0 port on your laptop. Please check with Plugable for your configuration.

Hello Yakov. The unit comes with an installation CD which has the drivers. It's quite an easy install process. In my "original" setup, my laptop was display 1 and my other monitor attached to my VGA output was display 2. With this new unit attached to a USB port, I now have display 3. Yes, it will work. :)

It does, but not well. You have to reboot the computer each time you want to switch to the external displays. Very frustrating...If anyone reads this comment and has found a way to resolve the issue, please message me!

The pictures on line should show the connectors, but yes, it does connect as a VGA monitor. I have mine plugged into my laptop's VGA port.

Yes, its called HDMI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI....Get that cable and connect to monitor, should be good to go,,,,

I returned this monitor because my desktop needed a special connection. This connection is for a VGA connection, which I am sure your laptop has. So, to make a long and boring story short, I would say yes it will connect to your laptop.

No, it's a mini HDMI...to standard HDMI....cable, it allows you to connect to an external monitor.

As long as your laptop has a VGA output, you can connect it to your laptop.If your laptop has a DVI or HDMI output, you will need a DVI to VGA or an HDMI to VGA converter. You can use any converter no matter how inexensive it is, because this monitor accepts a digital VGA signal. I personally use it for my desktop (which has a VGA output) and my PlayStation 3 (which I use a cheap HDMI to VGA converter for, and it works perfectly).

Yes, with the proper cable. This laptop has video out via the "mini-displayport" connector on the right-hand side. You can get a cable that will adapt this to an HDMI input on your Tv/Monitor.

It didn't work to connect my hdmi pc to my vga monitor. I had to buy HDMI Input to VGA Adapter Converter For PC Laptop NoteBook HD DVD. Also, it wouldn't work from my old vga pc to a hdmi tv.

You need a usb to hdmi adapter. There is one avaliable on amazon. Look for "StarTech.com Slim USB 3.0 to HDMI External Video Card Multi Monitor Adapter (USB32HDES)".
