I have a laptop with only an VGA out. The larger monitor I am going to use had an DVI. Will this work for me until and get another PC.

Probably not. Couldn't get these to work regardless of configuration. See my review for details.

IF your computer has BOTH a vga and a dvi video output then its a qualified "yes"...but it depends on the video card...you would have one monitor hooked up to the vga out and one to the dvi out using this adapter. I assume you dont have a monitor with dvi input to test first...If you have only one video output, there are usb-based multiple monitor devices you might want to check out as an option.

No. Laptops don't usually have DVI ports (the kind with the grid of pins and the little + shaped bar off to one side). If yours does (exact model would be helpful), then it MIGHT work. But unless you have a solid return policy, I wouldn't risk it. This is really a desktops-only monitor. And no, a port adapter will not work.

It depends on the laptop computers' ability to output SVGA, most all laptops have a (s)vga (Blue) output jack on them and a "function" key that allows toggling between the laptop attached screen, or the output jack or both simultaneously. Hope this helps

Dan K.,it is at my office; however, I do not believe that it has a DVI--just VGA. If there is DVI input, i will reply again tomorrow.

dont know. I am hooked up to VGA. HP monitors are good, this may be a design anomoly.

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.

No. This will go to the monitor VGA input alright but hooks up to the computers USB port. You need to be running Windows.

Yes, as long as you have the dvi out on your computer and the display port out on your computer, then you will be able to do the dual monitors this way. I currently have a dell with a vga out and a hdmi out. I have one monitor go to the vga and the other to the hdmi. This is nice that it works this way because most newer computers now come built with multiple video outs. Which means you don't have to spend the extra dollars getting a high performance video card with dual adapters.

Not positive, but it seems like it would. I used it to have a dual vga because my computer would only support 1 monitor. Adding this gave me another display on the same pc.

Yes. It comes with both a VGA cable and a DVI cable. Most laptops would use the VGA.

This will work for converting DVI to VGA. The only way it won't work is if the signal is DVI-D which in that case you'll need an active converter. You can tell by looking at the flat part on the DVI connector and see if it has 2 pins above and below it, and if it does it is not DVI-D so it should work. Picture of pin layouts - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface#mediaviewer/File:DVI_Connector_Types.svg Active converter if you have DVI-D - http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DVI2VGAE-1920x1200-Adapter-Converter/dp/B00C93JQXS/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1424584645&sr=1-4&keywords=dvi-d+to+vga

Yes it works just fine. Just make sure which dvi connection you have there is a DVI (d) and a DVI (i) They are different and you need different connectors for each.

I feel pretty confident that it will. The only thing I'm not sure about is the DP to DVI-D adaptor, but I can't see why it wouldn't work.I'm running a 1920x1080 Dell monitor, a 720p tv, AND this monitor with a Radeon 6870 (900MHz, 1GB), and I play games on the Crossover at full res. Gaming on it is a little bit slower, but I'm not sure if that's a decreased frame-rate due to all those pixels it's working with or if it's just the slower refresh rate because it's an IPS. I got used to it, though.Hope this helps.

Hi, that shoud be work, but probably you need a second graphic controller. Or you have a graphic controller the can controled two high resolution screens. The have DVI-D interface only! I use him on my laptop with adaptor DVI-D to Display port. (With USB power supply) Its working fine.

As the above poster said, probably not. It will allow you to add a second monitor. It's possible if your laptop has dvi, you might be able to use it simultaneously. However, sometimes the dvi is just the DisplayPort converted.

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).
