How to connect laptop to a monitor

June 26, 2008

How can I use a second monitor with my laptop? I’ve seen some other people do this with their laptop and was wondering what I need to have on my laptop to achieve this. This would give me more space to open up different programs.

Your laptop should have either DVI (digital) or VGA (analog) or both. All you need is a second monitor and with the proper cable you can either connect the monitor to the DVI or VGA port on your laptop. Your computer may detect the second monitor automatically but if it doesn’t you can go to your “Display Settings” in XP or in Vista to tweak the settings.
