VGA/DVI

Hi guys,.

I have a winxp running T61p.

I want to connect my laptop (undocked) to an LCD monitor. Since I want to see more bright colors, that I would use option dvi monitor that I bought.

Here's my question:

T61p isn't a dvi each output. Yet, I know we can change some settings in the bios to support dvi - d.

(1) dvi only works when the laptop is connected? I ask this because only the docking station output a dvi.

(2) if the answer to the first question is "no, you can always use DVI even if your laptop is in stand-alone mode.

How?

Can I get a digital signal from my laptop vga port? Can I make a connection between the port vga (portable) and dvi (from monitor) port? Can I get a digital output even if I do a link between the vga (mobile) and (from monitor) vga port?

Thanks for any help...

DVI works only when it is docked, your VGA output is only the analog signal.

    You can use any DVI monitor DVI port directly or have any VGA monitor with the power that you adapter. A HDMI monitor might work with an adapter DVI to HDMI in a pinch, but HDMI tends to be more fickle.

    I think that you would need some kind of hub Thunderbolt or separator you have. Just to be sure, your current solution made just two monitors mirror each other?

  • Satellite A200 23W - no connection with the TV (VGA-DVI-tv)

    I tried to connect my SatelliteA200-23W with tv (DVI plug). Like cable, I had was dvi to dvi and my laptop has vga only (female) I got an adapter (VGA/DVI). After that I made the connection (my TV is also a Toshiba LCD 30 inch) and I used Fn + F5, with the channel setting DVI TV, I can't see or hear anything whatsoever!

    Any who tried to link its A Satellite with tv?
    Must say that I use Windows 7 edition.

    Hello

    To use the monitor external, you must plug the cable first. Then turn on the TV and choose the right channel on your TV. Next turn on the laptop and then you should be able to switch between monitors if you press FN + F5. Check it!

    Also, make sure that you use a high quality cable.
    You can use a cable without adapter?

  • Adapter VGA DVI - HP 3500 Pro

    Hi all

    Recently, my boss bought a bunch of HP Pro 3500 s. They come with a VGA and DVI, port that we use both for a dual monitor set up. Now when we connect to these ports by using a VGA cable and DVI set up works very well. However, when we use a VGA DVI adapter DVI port, the second monitor is not detectable. Is there a way to solve this problem, so we can use the adapters? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    I run 2 monitors SAMSUNG my h8-1128, which came with a HD6570 of Radion Eyefinity.

    Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    Both monitors are supported by the DVI and VGA inputs. The HD6570 has a DVI - VGA dongle, DVI - I, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.

    After watching a bit in the cables, I find this cable:

    by StarTech

    Characteristics of the product

    Use the DVI-> VGA dongle on the connector 6570's DVI with a VGA cable to the monitor that is shared with the CATV box, and then either an HDMI cable to DVI or DisplayPort / DVI cable.

    You have reason... that would be the way to do it.

  • Satellite P100: Can I connect two external monitor to the VGA & DVI port at the same time?

    Satellite P100 comes with two port external monitor. One VGA and one DVI. Can you have two external monitor works at the same time? Can you have two external monitor as well as your internal screen working at the same time (for a total of 3 screen at the same time?

    Here's what I confirm:

    Internal display + display DVI connector
    OR
    Internal display + screen VGA connector

    Is it possible to have:

    Display connector DVI + VGA connector display?

    OR

    Display connector DVI + VGA connector screen + internal display?

    As far as I know, this is not possible and you can use a DVI or VGA port.
    Output signal can be used only a single port for external monitor.

  • VGA / DVI monitor conflict?

    A few months ago, I created two monitors on my computer, it is hung using a VGA cable and the other a DVI - D cable.  Everything worked perfectly until this morning.  Now, the computer is perpetually connection and disconnection then the DVI monitor.  Both monitors work fine by themselves, but as soon as the two are hung up cycle connect/disconnect restarting the PC DVI (about a second between each connect and disconnect).  I changed the DVI cable again and shorter cable, I watched the updates, and none have been installed prior to this failure.  I restarted the computer with different combinations of attached monitors and still no resolution.  Can someone help me?  I only have a DVI and a VGA port on my PC and only one of the monitors has DVI port.  My graphics card is an Intel 4 series internal chipset.

    Thank you.

    Hi Santosh,

    None of these methods has helped, although the method 1 found a problem in another area so thank you for that.  I has not updated level of software or drivers before the show, but I think I found the problem.  I rebooted my system with two monitors connected to the computer, after crossing methods 1 through 3 (all display drivers are up-to-date).  When the system came the monitors were is still not working properly, but I noticed an icon in the part of the Notification of the taskbar.  It was a new icon for the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator, or at least one that I'd never noticed, .  I do not know if something is automatically installed this weekend (usually disable this option) or if something else started the problem, but I chose this icon and some Graphics Options, then extended desktop, digital display + monitor and suddenly the DVI monitor was detected and everything worked properly.

    Thank you for your help,

  • 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.

  • What is the best cable for monitor DVI - D and VGA input connectors?

    I buy HP P6300z desktop computer with ATI Radeon HD 4350 (DVI, HDMI, adapter) graphics card and W1858 monitor VGA; DVI - D input connector. A VGA cable is supplied with the monitor. The VGA cable will give me the best viewing experience or should I buy another cable?

    Buy a DVI - D cable.  DVI means Digital Visual Interface. It will provide images of superior quality on your screen as VGA.

    VGA is analog.

    HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) even better would have been

  • DVI/VGA adapter.

    I have a HP110-122el PC and I just bought what I thought, it was a VGA DVI adapter. The DVI adapter part again has 24 pins and a connector spade and 4 extra pins, 2 above and 2 below the pod. The socket on my tour takes the casings for these 4 additional points. Therefore, the adapter doesn't fit. Are there different types of DVI adapters or is my weird PC?

    HI Hookey,

    Image (blur) below shows the types of DVI connectors.

    Your description of your adapter indicates that your have a DVI - I dual-link adapter.  The socket on the PC's DVI - D (digital only). If your monitor is analog, then use a straight VGA cable without adapter. Your PC is not strange that most, if not all new HP PC are DVI - D (digital only).  You can see the specifications for the HP 110-122el here.

    By your other post, your monitor specifications are here.
