As the one reviewer stated the ,VGA port is disabled. Can it be enabled and if so how difficult would it be to do ?

The VGA port is disabled presumably because the video card uses an HDMI slot instead. Acer will have disabled the slot to prevent conflicts between the video / graphics card and the main board. I presume it could be reversed but that would be a question for Acer. I presume you have a monitor without an HDMI slot. If so you might get a cable that converts HDMI to RGA.

No drivers needed if you have an hdmi out. I don't know if the vga is driver free too

Not tried it but my guess is, no. It's way underpowered to run anything over 800x600 resolution and that's below the minimum for most Windows OS since...Vista. Might work in VGA mode, 640x480 but you can't 'use' Windows at that point.

yes, you MUST also purchase an adapter that turns it into the VGA connections.

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

I don't know. I have not tried it. You are better of buying a mini display port to vga adapter.

I'm not using VGA cables in mine. I imagine you probably can as I have about seven different cables running through mine. Now it's tight but it's pretty good size to start with.

The VGA/SVGA does not carry a sound signal if you were to get a video signal you would still need a audio cable. Also I think their is a digital to analog issue there. Hope the info helped Happy NY

It won't work because the VGA port on your laptop is an output not an input.

Are you asking about vga? My aoc monitor calls the vga d sub. No but you can convert the display port to vga

No, According to what I found out the HDMI output from the laptop is digital and VGA is analog. Need a converter.

It is not powered by the VGA port. The software installed on the computer can run any video that the computer can run. Android platforms are not supported. Not very user friendly.

You will need a VGA to USB adapter - you can find them for $39 to $59 ($59 at best buy)
