How do i connect a monitor to laptop?
Answer:- follow the below steps:
1. Check whether your monitor has a dvi (digital) or vga (analog) port, both of which are generally built in.contact your vendor if your laptop does not have either. In this case, you can use a special adapter to connect the external monitor. These adapters are model specific and should be bought directly from the vendor. 2.connect one end of the dvi or vga cord to the dvi or vga port of your laptop and the other end to the monitor. Your laptop should automatically identify the external monitor as a new hardware device. 3. Most laptops will show the desktop on both screens by default, which is known as the mirror view. You can use function keys with common combination such as fn + f5, fn + f3, fn + f8 and fn + f9 to toggle between the two screens. Refer to the laptop's user manual for the right key combination to toggle between the displays. Alternatively, with many laptops you can also switch to the extended desktop mode. This means your desktop screen will be stretched across both the monitors. Refer to your user manual to switch to this mode.

Connect Laptop & Desktop To One Monitor
Is it possible to connect desktop and a laptop to the same monitor at the same time and switch between laptop and desktop desktop screens easily?

Using Vga To Connect Laptop To Monitor
I'm using a macbook pro, and i have a minidisplay to vga adapter, and i'm buying a 22-inch vga/dvi display. My question is, will everything look/act okay on the external display if i'm using a vga? I've heard mixed reports about video quality, etc.

Cannot Connect Laptop To External Monitor
I recently started having problems with my hp mini where the laptop itself would kick on but the screen wouldn't. The good people at hp told me that this is a hardware problem and that i have to send them my beloved baby. While awaiting the arrival of the box in which i was to send the aforementioned baby, i was using the computer by connecting it to an external monitor. Recently, this stopped working. I have tried hooking it up to three different monitors, and the monitor will blink at me, rudely informing me that the connection is there, it's just not working. Is this related to my confirmed hardware problem? Or is this a software problem?

Connect Laptop With Shattered Screen To External Monitor
Since my entire monitor is totally unreadable, does anybody know any shortcuts or any keystrokes or combinations to display my data on the desktop monitor manually? It can be as complicated as for example, : start key, tab, up up up up down down. I just need some method of displaying the content of my laptop with the shattered screen to the external monitor.

Connect Xbox 360 To Play On Laptop Monitor
Can i connect my xbox 360 so i can play on my laptop monitor? I have an hp dv5t laptop its about 2 years old. I would like to try to play xbox on it because it is bigger and probably better quality than my tv. Is this possible? It said i just have a generic pnp monitor but i don't know if it is still hd or what. So can i connect and would the quality and lag on my computer make it impossible to play? Because i don't want to spend money on cables or whatever just to find out it doesn't work.

Connect Laptop At Higher Resolution To Monitor Or 1080p Tv
Can a 15" laptop with 1280x768 connect at higher res to a big monitor or 1080p tv? I bought at 18" laptop with 1080p. It connects well to my 46" 1080p tv via hdmi (playing blu-ray disks). And it connects well with my 21" monitor at 1050. (It wont try to go above the native res of my monitor-as if my monitor is telling the laptop what its max resolution is. )
But the laptop is very heavy, and i would mostly use it hooked up to a monitor or tv. I'm thinking of returning it and getting a 15" laptop with the same specs, including the video card. But the laptop can only go to 768. But there is this 'projection only' mode that i'm guessing could go as high as either my tv or my monitor (even if it can display it on my laptop screen). What do you think? Will the 15" perform as well as the 18" when connected? Or will it constantly object to being driven at higher resolutions? (Like - what will happen when i disconnect from the monitor and its being driven at above its 'native' resolution. )

Laptop As Second Monitor
I am trying to setup my laptop to be used as a second display for my desktop. I know there is software that will allow me to do this (maxivista) but i a) don't want to buy anything and b) work completely over a wireless network and assume the lag would be bothersome. I have a nvidia 7600gt in my desktop capable of dual screen support and am hoping to be able to hook a vga cable from the video card to the port on my laptop (usually used for external/second monitor). Mostly i'm wondering if this port can be used as an input directly to the monitor. Laptop is hp brand, model nx6110.

Connect Monitor To Computer
What is best method to connect monitor to computer. ? I can connect my new (used) hp w2207 monitor to the computer using vga, dvi , or a third method i think is called hdvi. Which is the best method to use? What are the pro's and con's of each . I have a monster cable that came with the monitor, it has vga connectors on each end, the previous owner allegedly paid $80. 00 for the cable. I don't know much about the monitor and even less about a monster cable, although it sounds like something rambo would have used to pull a truck out of a ditch.

How To Connect To External Monitor ?
I have a laptop. Recently the screen broke, and i was informed it would cost £250 ish. As this was out of my price range, i decided i would get an external monitor. However, when i plug it in, it does not start up. My os is vista home premium, and i think what i'm supposed to do is activate the second display. Needless to say, this is all but impossible to do as you cannot see anything on my screen. Any suggestions?

How To Connect Pc To Tv To Act As Monitor ?
How do i connect a pc to a tv, to act as a monitor ?
Answer:-
Depends on the tv and the computer. If both are newer and both have hdmi ports that's the easiest way. Otherwise probably s-video cable, again if they both have the hook up or if your tv is one of the rare kind with a vga connector. Otherwise, you may need to get some kind of adapter to make it work. Vga to hdmi or vga to s-video or vga to rca or rf. If it's an older non-hd tv but if that's the case don't bother really because a tv that old will make a horrible computer monitor because of the low resolution.

Connect One Monitor To Two Computers
I was looking at kvm switches, but they are awfully expensive. I am hoping someone knows of a better option for me. I have one 22" wide screen dvi monitor that i like to use with my vista desktop and my mac laptop. I want to say the resolution on the monitor is 1680x1050 or something like that, i am blanking on the resolution and not at home right now. I use the blue tooth connection on the laptop for the keyboard, so i don't really need to be able to connect keyboards or anything. Just need to be able to switch the monitor between the computers without having to crawl under my desk each time. Any ideas?
