I have a Dell laptop and docking station. The monitor is connected directly to the docking station so I can take my laptop without having to unhook printer, scanner, monitor etc.

Buy a vga to DVI-D adapter and a DVI-D cable. Do not use a vga to HDMI cable with wide gamut monitor.

I use it that way. From my laptop HDMI to the VGA cable coming out of the monitor.

There is a VGA port and USB ports on the laptop. It depends on what type of connector the projector has to determine if you can hook it up to the laptop.

I don't believe that this monitor (or any monitor) will display through a usb connection. You will need to use vga, rca,rgb, dvi, or hdmi. your best bet with a laptop is either hdmi or vga.

You need a converter box which are fairly expensive. DVI are Digital and VGA are analog.

Hello, I have hp pavilion , you should be able to use your VGA cable as I didn't have to buy another cable. Just use cable that comes with monitor.

Im sure either a VGA or a DVI would do the trick. I have a dvi connecting my PC to my 120Hz HDTV and it works swimminginly

Greg:I just remembered, in the quick set up manual there is a diagram for hooking up your computer to the Samsung using an HDMI cable. This assumes you have an HDMI output on your computer. This would give you the highest quality resolution on the set ( it will still be limited to 1440 by 900 though). There is opinion out there that you would be hard pressed to tell the differnce between VGA and HDMI at that resolution. You could try both and see which looks best.

No. M. Sacks No. This matter is as good as a dead horse. If you have a "50px60u", you may forget about connecting to a VGA based laptop. Solutions is way too expansive that it is not worth to get into.

Yes you can. Just use a monitor cable such as this one from amazon, C&E; VGA-VGA Standard 15-Pin VGA Male to VGA Male Cable 10 FT $5.80. Plug one end into the monitor and the other end into the female plug on the left side of the laptop. Don't turn the monitor on until plugged in.

The laptop most likely has VGA, but not the male end of VGA. This is from vga to hd not from hd to vga. SO you have an hd tv. What you need is the male end of HD And the male end of VGA. woCharger(TM) 5 Feet 1.5M Gold HDMI to VGA converter adapter cable for HDTV,Computer Monitor VGA This is probably what you want.

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.

IT comes with 1 vga pc input. Works great looks better than my highend laptop in color. Works at 1360x768 resolution beautifully. You may need to go into TOOLS and ADJUST SCREEN if the picture doesnt fill properly.

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
