I honestly am not sure. It has what looks like an old style port with holes but i'm not sure if it's for a moniter or a printer. I dont have any old desk tops laying around to check either. Sorry

Yes you can, providing that you are currently using HDMI connections between your computer and your monitor. I am using mine to switch between a PC, a Tivo box and a Roku box.

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.

Wish I'd received answer before ordering. Hope it is compatible with the old monitor.

You can, but that wouldn't look very good. Try getting small bezel monitors instead.

Yes. Ha,ha ... I use mine to extend my desktop and it works fine. Don't forget to change your windows settings for dual monitors. If you don't, then all you will do is duplicate the monitor. Hope this helps!

As far as I can tell you should have no problems, your monitor has a VGA input cord, so it should just be plug and play.

Best go to their website to answer this, but I don't see why not. The device works with the monitor, not with an operating system.

As long as your screen is a typical TB connector. But that's NOT usually the case. Check your monitors manual for connection type it's probably different. They sell those as different type of connectors.

If you have a Display Port to DVI adapter then yes, you can. Otherwise you'll need to order one.

I don't think it can. We use it with traditional desk top - awesome monitor! We have 3 - best for the money for sure.

I assume you can, the monitor has connections for VGA, DV-I, and HDMI. I was very disappointed in the resolution, but connecting it was easy enough.

Absolutely. As long as your monitor has an HDMI input or you buy an HDMI to DVI adapter.

Yes it can. You will just have to have a transmission probe for the monitor.

Never used it that way but I have with other windows systems. There is only one old fashion type monitor port. If one of your monitors works with a usb port I would think it would not be a problem.

Yes you can, and remember the last monitor in the chain can be a basic monitor with a single input DP port. So you could save the extra $100 or so on that last monitor.
