Can I plug in my (Older) monitor with the big blue plug?

Do you mean VGA? For my set up, I may have used cable with DVI on both ends so I can't say I remember a VGA connection.There are adapters for DVI to VGA so something like this should work:Generic DVI-I Dual-Link (M) to 15-Pin VGA (F) Adapter

No sorry, don't know.I only have an old desktop. But I figure the plug-in attachments are standardised so it might. But better to ask someone who knows for sure.

Good evening - An adapter is not necessary as I have a DVI and Monitor cable ports on the monitors.

yeah, but you'll need an adapter and a damn DVI cable since it's not included with the monitor. Adapter I bought for my Macbook pro was only about $15.

I assume you can, the monitor has connections for VGA, DV-I, and HDMI. I was very disappointed in the resolution, but connecting it was easy enough.

Yes, you can use a VGA cable or a RCA adapter plug (check the link below)Bluecell 10 Pack RCA Female Plug to BNC male Jack Adapters

Via VGA. It's the same connection your present monitor is probably already using.

You will need the cable from the Monitor to connect to the adapter and the computer!!

You need to attach a graphics card to this, which will have the outlets for plugging in a monitor

Not without modifications. This unit has the old VGA plug from the monitor and into the computer. You would either need a VGA to HDMI adapter, or a different interface unit. I'm sure I saw them for HDMI. I had to really look to find this unit with the old style plug.

Yes it would be. You can use either a displayport to mini displayport cable, or since it is only 1080p, you can use an adapter.

Yes. Use a Standard DVI cable which most new laptops support or you will have to buy a converter.

Some monitors have a round power plus on the bottom (or back) of the unit.You don't need an adapter if the monitor has the round plug.

InfiniteRecall has the correct answer. You need an active adapter which costs extra. It'll work, but kinda pricy. At that point you might as well look for a good deal on a monitor with DisplayPort, which only needs a mini-DP to DP cable (about $10).

First, please know that I am far from expert on this (or any electronics). That said, there is a monitor plug. I don't know if it can be used in tandem. I started using this as a port == I have various things attached to it, and now I just have the one thing to plug into my laptop. I found a user manual here -- perhaps it will answer your question better... http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03123989.pdf
