  • HP 2310ei monitor (DP/DVI-D) laptop VGA/HDMI

    So, I recently bought the HP 2310ei monitor. It has DisplayPort and DVI - D connections.

    Initially, I had planned to use a VGA/DVI adapter, but I didn't know that there is a difference between DVI - I and DVI - D. Now I wonder, what is my best option?

    Buy a DVI - D Vga adapter? Or a DisplayPort Vga?

    Or maybe go with HDMI DisplayPort?

    Official website of DisplayPort that I read that there is no effective way to connect a laptop VGA to a DisplayPort monitor due to the analog/digital, whatever, that means, but in another topic on this Board, I also read that someone who bought a HDMI cable to DisplayPort could not make it work , so I'm a bit at a loss.

    What are my best options?

    When you request support, please provide the number name and/or product complete the model of the computer that is connected to this monitor.

    It is not a VGA adapter, DVI - D, or a VGA adapter DisplayPort on the market however there may be some expensive active converters. Depending on your exact computer and video output ports, you have few options. You also ask of HDMI DisplayPort goes, it can be assumed that your computer is equipped with an HDMI output. If this is the case... the easier, cheaper, and is to connect a HDMI output for HP 2310ei with a HDMI-DVI cable.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Problem connecting my laptop XPS15 to my u2412m via displayport monitor

    Hi peoples,

    I just received my new Dell UltraSharp monitor u2412m!

    Now, I'm trying to connect my laptop Dell XPS15 (via its connection mini displayport) to my new monitor via a mini displayport to displayport cable.

    Unfortunately, it does not seem to connect and instantly, the monitor goes in power saving Mode...

    What I'm doing wrong here? Is this compatible/possible in the first place?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    MORIS

    PS. the monitor works instantly with an old laptop with a vga connection... Plug-and-play...

    Try to use another connection - hdmi would be better if the laptop has that. You can use an hdmi cable to dvi - same technology and this work. Those that can be purchased for less $10.

  • Multiple monitors: VGA laptop to Westinghouse TV

    I have an Acer Apire 5920. My warranty has run out of earlier. I got a virus in August and had to do a full restore. I used the DVD of Windows XP instead of Vista which was OEM on my Acer when I bought it. Right now I have Win XP Home Edition 32 bit. I had to download all my drivers on the Acer site.

    My question:
    When I plug the VGA of the laptop and the TV it says no Signal on the TV. When I arrived at the display settings in the Properties menu I have only 1 screen. It says "display:" (default monitor) on
    It doesn't let me change to another. I think that I have an Intel graphics card.
    How can I activate the Multi monitor on my laptop?

    Hello E - Odc,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    If you had the opportunity before you install Windows XP and that you are not given a choice now, perhaps you have installed the incorrect drivers. I am not able to determine what you have installed on the Acer site.

    Also, here are some links that may be beneficial for you in the configuration of multiple screens.

  • When I connect my laptop L300D to my LCD tv using VGA to VGA it works fine for a few minutes then the screens n that the laptop and TV started blinking on and outside. Can someone advise please.

    When I connect my Toshiba L300D laptop to my Samsung 40 inch lcd tv using vga to vga connection it works fine for a few minutes. Then the screens on the laptop and the TV start to turn on and turn off, also jumps around cursor. Can someone tell me what is the problem and how to correct.

    Hello

    Try changing the VGA cables and check if it helps.

    If the problem persists, then I suggest you to update the firmware.

    Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Resolution is lower when the monitor is connected to the laptop

    Recently, I knew that my laptop of girlfriends who is a Dell XPS streched to the office and the max resolution is 1280 x 1024, what happened during the night. The resolution used to go up to 1680 x 1050.

    The stretching occurs only when its acer monitor is connected to the laptop. When disconnect us the laptop resolution is up to 1900 x 1200 (finally something like that).

    Operating system is windows 7 x 64.  I have the exact same monitor works fine on a windows Vista on a Dell XPS.

    Anyone know what to do about it?


    Best regards Sune

    Well, I have the same problem with my lcd... and I discovered that this is due to the ability of the tv... or the screen, your laptop have a high native resolution but perhaps the native resolution of your screen is less than I say 1360 x 768... by that your pc or laptop detects the monitor and adapt to... but this will give you a No 4 k true HD display.

  • Satellite U300 - 13 M - port external monitor (VGA port) does not work

    Dear users of Forums from Toshiba,

    I have a problem with the VGA port. I use the Windows XP operating system. Laptop, do not display on an external monitor, I tried all monitors to connect to my office, but does not solve this problem. I also tried to reinstall Windows XP, once again, and nothing has changed.

    Please help me.

    Best regards, Elbrus

    Hello

    I guess that by Satellite U300 came preinstalled with Vista. Am I right about that?
    Anyway, if you want to use external monitor and switch successfully to him you must install the utilities and tools of Toshiba. There are several of them and allows you to use the FN + F5 key combination and move your desktop to laptop LCD display to the external monitor.

    Can you please tell me one thing: have you installed all the stuff of the Toshiba download page according to document Instructions of facilities?
    The configuration of the laptop is not known to me, but try please check the Intel properties and let me know if the external monitor is recognized in properties. Usually, you can choose to use the external monitor there.

    You can also start Toshiba HWsetup utility. There must be tab display. There you can also find an option to use the LCD screen + monitor at startup.

    Check it out please and post the results.

  • Connect a laptop running Windows XP to a LCD via HDMI

    Hello

    I did a fresh install of windows XP SP3 on my Sony Vaio Z series. I bought a HDMI cable to connect my laptop to an LCD (DYNEX 32 '') so that I could watch movies and so. Unfortunately, the LCD doesn't detect any signal from my laptop. Is there a solution for this problem... I have to install some driver or what?

    Please advice...

    Hello, mykhtarz

    Since you have made a new installation, it is likely, that you do not have the required driver installed software to automatically switch to the HDMI. I recommend first check with the manufacturer for updated driver software.

    There may also be a combination of keys on the laptop to change HDMI manually, usually a combination of # FN + F. You'll need to refer to the documentation of your laptop for which key can control the HDMI.

    You can also go into the display properties and change the default view for the HDMI. To check the display properties, follow these steps:

    1. Click Startand then click Control Panel.
    2. Click appearance and themes, and then click display.
    3. In the settings of the display properties dialog box tab, click the icon of the monitor that represents the monitor you want to designate as the primary monitor.
    4. Click to select the use this device as the primary monitor check box. Note that this check box is not available when you select the icon of the monitor that is currently set as your primary monitor.
