So this will work in connecting directly from laptop to desktop monitor?

This is a serial port adapter, Not a VGA adapter.You are looking for a USB to VGA adapter.

I don't think this what you are looking for. This is a great device works very well but it is USB to Serial DB9, I think what you are looking for is a USB to VGA adaptor (DB15). I have had good success with the StarTech USB to VGA External Video Card, you can find it on amazon also.

I do not think so. Desktop monitors usually come with a parallel port, this is a serial port. This adaptor only work with serial devices.

Not sure whether the laptop has the proper connection, however, this adapter will allow you to mirror the monitors not have an extended desktop.

did you try this for connecting the external monitor to your laptop. I have a dell laptop and want to buy it for the same use.

No. The signal is going the other way.. It converts mini display port to sVideo monitor. And it doesn't always work with my computers.

There is no reason why the monitor will not work. I have a similar configuration with my ViewSonic, that utilizes both a desktop and a Laptop. The desktop is attached using a Docking Device. Both systems are running Windows 8.

This has a digital connection (white) and VGA (blue) connection. If your laptop has one of the same connections it should work.

No, this cable is for use with TrendNet KVM Switch. It is not to directly connect the computer to another monitor.

Yes, and easily. I connected my old LCD monitor to my Mac. It extends the desktop.

No, you need something that will connect to a video out on the laptop (VGA, dvi, HDMI) and convert that to display port.

No. This adapter is for connecting a laptop that has an HDMI (output) port to a regular monitor that has a VGA (input) port.

I'm not sure. I haven't used it for that purpose. Mine connects straight to DVI.

The display on the desktop needs a connection for the "monitor" which I don't believe it does.. so no...

I tested this by pulling the power cord from the back while it is tied into my computer via DVI connection, waited a moment and then plugged it back in. It came back on to the same input to what I was viewing on the computer screen. So I would say it will do what you want based on this. Good Luck

As long as your monitor is plugged in to the computer (acting as a USB hub I assume) then it should work.

I do not know about that, it should work, but there is also a DVI-D connection on the back of the monitor as well.

Not positive, but if you have your desktop connected directly to the adapter and not the wifi then NO!
