Check the connectors on your monitor, you might need to find one with female VGA connector on the other side.

Absolutely, as long as you have the proper adapter. There are supposedly display ports but I've yet to find any cables that go from the display port in the laptop to the monitor. HDMI or DVI will work. I suggest DP to DVI.

The unit that I ordered haven't arrived yet. But I do have a HDMI to VGA converter and a VGA/Universal I/O input on my acer K132. I'll test it out and let you know once the unit arrives. It's coming from China, so it may take a while.

Yes, but it's a short adapter, so you'll probably need at least a 3' DVI cable, depending on how far you monitor is going to sit from your laptop.

Get a Laptop with dual dvi or look at another screen. The reason the screen is so cheap is the fact that it will ony work with DVI, other monitors would be compatible with your laptop but come in at a higher price. Look for name brands such as lg, asus, or dell. All of their monitors would work great for you

You can purchase one on Amazon, just do a search for Mini CP to VGA/LAN/USB and it will populate results. You can always contact Acer to purchase one as well, of course.

You'd need a HDMI to VGA from laptop to this unit, then a VGA to VGA to the desktop. Make sure each end is correct male or female.

Yes. You'll need to connect it with a USB 3.0 Cable since there is only one monitor port.

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 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.

if your laptop has HDMI, then that is the connection you use to connect to this monitor.

Hi, yes I have. You will need to download and install the driver from Lenovo.

my laptop has just a VGA port. I dont have HDMI on my laptop. What do i do in this case??

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.

Yes! It has the "old fashioned" VGA port. This is compatible with most of the budget-priced Acer monitors you can buy. An HDMI USB port is located directly below the video port. If you wish to use your HDMI monitor, you can connect it to a HDMI to micro HDMI adapter. At any rate, this is not a super powerful computer when it comes to intense graphics usage. But, yes you can use the original VGA connector (if that is what you have). Best wishes and good luck.
