What dongle do I need to connect this to an external monitor?

I use an "Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter" for my monitor at work that runs 1920x1080 resolution. However, the standard DisplayPort adapters max out at 1920x1200, so at home, I use the "Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Display Adapter, with USB Extension" to connect to my 30" Apple Cinema Display that runs 2560x1600. You obviously don't have to use Apple.. I'm sure any Mini Display Port adapter will work. I just find Apple adapters to be high quality and readily available.

I don't believe that this monitor (or any monitor) will display through a usb connection. You will need to use vga, rca,rgb, dvi, or hdmi. your best bet with a laptop is either hdmi or vga.

We use only VGA monitors with this card. The dongle that comes with this card is DVI to VGA. DVI output only means that there are no other ports on the card other than DVI but with the DVI to VGA dongle you can use VGA monitors.

There are no software or drivers needed to use this device. There is an integrated circuit inside that converts the digital HDMI signal to an analog vga, but this is transparent to you the user. Just plug it in and use it. There should be no setup required. Works with Linux too, just in case you are interested.

Yea. That is exactly how I have it set up. The dongle is plugged into my computer and the IR works independently for the TV.

No dongle needed. That's a reason I got this one. My desk is so small having to have something sticking out from my computer was a problem.

You need to connect the USB cable from the back of the monitor to your computer. This is in addition to the DVI or HDMI connection.

There is monitor port that I have used with external monitor on my MacBook Air.

No. I bought a Plugable USB 3.0 DisplayLink to go with mine, but beware of their free trial software Multiple Monitors; try not to use that cause you have to buy it after 30 days.

You can connect it via HDMI or DVI, there is no USB video source unless you have 2 monitors.

i did not see a definitive answer. Did you ever find a USB dongle that worked?

Thank you for your email. You would need a USB cable in order to connect it from EZcast dongle - this adapter - usb cable - projector. Have a nice weekend.

Plug the dongle into a USB port. I found my dongle inside the bottom of the mouse just FYI.

I have two external monitors connected; one via a DVI/DVI cable and the other via a DVI/HDMI cable. I have a convertor piece that I think may have come with it, but it looks like VGA to DVI. Hope that helps.

No dongle is necessary. The unit comes with a standard analog cable which is all you need to connect the Transparent One to the analog output of any laptop (the analog output is the same output you would use to connect headphones). If you want to use the USB out of the laptop you will need to purchase a separate USB cable.

Yes. Just plug the dongle into a usb port and follow the instructions to set it up.

HDMI port. I use it for an external monitor with the bluetooth for logitech keyboard and Dell mouse.
