I want to connect a VGA monitor to a ubs port in a laptop. Is this the right cable?

Absolutely not. You would be looking for an external video card which is significantly more expensive.

No. This cable is a USB cable and VGA cable that just happen to be glued to each other. This is supposed to be used with a KVM switch but should work generically of you happen to need these cable connectors orientated as-is, unlikely as that might be.

the box uses a VGA Output, not sure if you can you a laptop, as its an output not an input, you might need a monitor for a VGA input

what kind of laptop do u have does ure laptop have a vga or a dvi connector..i.e. analog 15 pin vga connector..or the dvi connection..ull know what im referring to..if its dvi..its a black output connection that is rectangular shaped..if its vga..its tinier and trapezoidal shaped with five pins in three rows..hope this helps..this monitor contains two inputs for two types of connections..vga and dvi..so u can use either..for crystal clear high definition output..use dvi..or analog use vga..btw..check out the circuit city web site..another user stated what i thought originally..the way this monitor is priced..its too cheap to include a dvi cable..hence if the only type of connection ure laptop has is vga..then ure okay..if not..ull need to use the vga connection..and get a dvi to vga adapter..

I used one of these to connect an Acer laptop to a Vizio 37 inch TV. It works fine with Windows 7. The Acer has a VGA port on it to use with a VGA monitor plug.I also have a Toshiba laptop with Ubuntu. The background picture and the start bar buttons are visible but nothing else. However, practically no one uses Ubuntu, so it doesn't matter.

For VGA I used the StarTech DP2VGA2 and for DVI I used the MDP2DVIS. I now use 6x Asus PB238 monitors, native displayport and I'm using MonoPrice mini-displayport to displayport cables with no adapters at all. All methods work similarly, although with native displayport I can send audio to each monitor as well.

The monitor does come with VGA cables. Simply plug in the connectors between the laptop and the monitor and you should be good to go.If the it's a Mac laptop, you will need the appropriate Mac Video connector for displayport (something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B005H3I38Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1382850181&sr;=8-2&keywo;rds=displayport+hdmi) and an HDMI cable, and then connect the adapter end into the Mac, and the HDMI cable into the back.Hope this helps!

Hello Peter. The Pro Series VGA Monitor Y Cable should work if you add another monitor to it.

to use different laptops with 1 monitor you will have to use the VGA connector , the USB is only for power and switching on a KVM switch. If you aren't using a KVM switch the USB is simply a straight through USB cable.

I always connect using a VGA cable however I saw in the owners manual that you can use a USB to connect a laptop

It likely will NOT work because it is an adapter versus the actual cable. It has been my experience that adapters are hit or miss propositions and mostly misses. By contrast, however, if you buy a VGA to DVI cable, that setup will work. The cable is only about $2:00 more than the adapter so it is well worth your while to buy the cable. The cable has a VGA plug on one end and a DVI cable on the other end They are designed for the purpose you have just described and typically they work. The adapters, by contrast, are very unreliable. They may work and then, again, they may not.

If you have an extra display port not in use on the laptop and you want to connect it to a VGA monitor you would want to get this, otherwise no it wouldn't. You probably want a USB to (DVI, HD, VGA) adaptor so you can add an extra display adaptor.

They are all standard connections.. Blue VGA, White DVI or DMS, You can let me know which one you have though so I can put the correct Adapter in for free

If the TV supports VGA to HD format go with the straight VGA cable. Worked from my IBM Thinkpad with Ubuntu to my Samsung 32" no problem and no additional hardware to buy.

As someone else mentioned, use a VGA cable. Very easy to find, and not very expensive. Amazon has them.

This monitor will connect to a tower with a VGA connector only. Hope this helps!

This monitor has VGA input, so as long as your laptop supports it, you'll be fine.

Thank you for contacting us. You are able to connect your laptop through the VGA port with the cable.
