I know the mini vga port is not a displayport but can it be used like a displayport and is there a hdmi cord that would fit that? Higher resolution?

This computer has a HDMI port as well, but the mini VGA is only for use with the samsung VGA adapter.

It has a mini-HDMI port and comes with a cable adapter from mini-HDMI to VGA port. You might wanna buy a new cable from mini-HDMI to standard HDMI port.

I checked the specs on it and it says it comes with a VGA Cord but it seems mine also had a dvi cord. Hopes this helps

This Mini-DisplayPort DVI adapter will NOT work with a DVI-VGA adapter. You need a separate adapter for that. I test it myself because I needed it for setting up a presentation and it did not work.

The one I received has a built-in VGA port. You would need a low-profile video card for HDMI.

It has an mini HDMI port, and does not include a mini adapter. You'll have to buy that separately

I hope you can answer this for me. I'm planning on getting this tv due to the awesome reviews, but am curious about connecting it to my PC. My PC tower has the plug for what I'm thinking is called a VGA. It is blue and has 15 pin holes, 3 rows of five. Now, I figure I will have to purchase a special cord to use this tv as a monitor. I'm confused about which is VGA, DVI, and HDMI. What cord do I need to purchase so this will work as a monitor for me? Thanks in advance!

Yes it would be. You can use either a displayport to mini displayport cable, or since it is only 1080p, you can use an adapter.

It only comes with a VGA cord. the vga to hdmi adapter should work fine. The quality won't be as good of course, but it will work. You could just hook into the VGA plug on the back of the monitor as well. I am using a StarTech HDMI(male) to DVI(female) converter, since the PC comes with DVI and that works very well.

No, there's no HDMI or VGA output. The only external connectors are two USB outputs. If you really wanted, you could get a Wi-Di (wireless) adapter, but that's probably your only bet for extending the screen space. Still, it's an awesome computer.

Not certain but the directions say "720p Full HD Playback and output" has a "Mini HDMI Port" listed in illustration.

Hi Kent, I wish I could help you, but I have no idea what a mini display port is! If it has anything to do with a desktop or laptop, all of the plugs will be there in this set.

The VGA I had it hooked up to for a day or so seemed fine, but I did not play any games on it. You can pick up a VGA to HDMI cable conversion for $8. Not sure if that would alleviate any potential issues.

You cannot plug in VGA directly to this. The built in connection is a similar multi-pin connection called DVI. However, I've used a few different brands and styles of DVI-VGA cables and adapters and the work just fine. DVI is supposedly a higher quality/superior connection, but I can't visually tell a difference in any of my uses. The adapters can add bulk to the back of the connection so consider that. I'm sure there are also mini display to VGA adapters as well, but I've never used them.

Yes, the mini display output on the Surface is a mini hdmi out and the mini display cable is a mini male to standard female adaptor. You simply need a standard hdmi male to male cable to extend to the device you're connecting to.

There is a proprietary Asus mini VGA port on the side. The laptop comes with an adapter along with the USB Ethernet adapter.

From Lenovo website: Monitor: Yes, through a mini-hdmi port. It comes with an adapter that will convert mini-hdmi into a regular VGA cable, so if still have that around you can use it. Of course, you can also use a DMI to VGA adapter to go that route as well. 2 monitors: can I connect 2 external monitors? steve s on Mar 25, 2014 Yes. There is a micro HDMI port that you can use to connect to an external VGA or HDMI monitor. The adapter can be purchased from Lenovo or any other cable vendor.
