Such as the products you buy on our site - can"t simply be shipped freely from country to country. When goods are imported into a different country or customs territory, there is a charge called Customs Duty that must apply. This is charged by the local customs authority where the goods are being imported into.

If Customs Duty is payable to your territory, you"ll be responsible for paying it to the authorities, so SunFounder isn"t involved in this process. Whether Customs Duty is payable, and by how much, depends on a whole lot of different things. For example, many countries have a "low value threshold" below which they do not charge any Customs Duty.

If you do have to pay Customs Duty though, the amount payable is usually calculated based on the value of the goods and the type of goods being imported.

If, for whatever reason, you refuse the customs fee and the parcel is returned back to us. If you"re still unsure on whether you"ll be subject to customs fees, we recommend contacting your local customs office for more info before placing your order!

Eyoyo 8 Inch HDMI Monitor 4:3 TFT LCD Mini Screen 1024x768 Resolution Support HDMI VGA BNC AV USB Input with Remote Controller for Video Display DVD PC Laptop

Support for VGA input, can be used for computer liquid crystal display (640*480/60Hz, 800*600/60Hz, 1024*768/60Hz); support chromatic input, color more vivid, the image more realistic

It is such a waste to only use the LCD for desktop computers. Connecting it up with a laptop PC has many merits for the user and can also bring out the latent power of the laptop.

Most laptops have a handy "external display output" port. It can be used in the home to transmit videos played on the laptop to a large screen TV or, in the office, to connect up with a projector for presentations. In fact, there must be many users who already use it like this. However, people tend to use just the laptop in their daily routine and there are probably not so many cases where they use the external display output.

A laptop can be put to more effective use if it is connected to an external LCD. The photograph shows an EIZO 23-inch wide-screen LCD connected by HDMI to a Sony VAIO C laptop (VPCCW28FJ/R).

This time we would like to suggest a style that can be used in both the home and the office, where a laptop and stand-alone LCD remain connected. A laptop already has an LCD, but using it with an additional stand-alone LCD offers various merits. Not only does it make the laptop environment more pleasant and convenient, it also expands the potential of the computer itself, for example by making it possible to use it for new purposes.

Even if the LCD is already connected to a desktop computer and being used for something other than the laptop, most monitors nowadays have two or more video inputs and they tend not to use this capability to the full. It is such a waste to let the laptop"s external display output function and the monitor"s video input function remain dormant, so we would like them to be put to effective use. Of course, we would also recommend the introduction of a new LCD to connect to your laptop.

The biggest merit of connecting a laptop with a stand-alone LCD is that it gives you a large screen and high resolution dual display environment. Standard laptop models usually come with a built-in 13-inch to 15-inch wide-screen LCD with a 1280 × 800 dot or 1366 × 768 dot resolution.

This level of resolution is good enough for basic Windows operations, but it goes without saying that a large, high-resolution computer screen is much more user-friendly. Combining a laptop with one of the latest wide-screen monitors enables you to easily construct a large-screen, high-resolution dual display environment. It is a real boon to dramatically boost the screen size and resolution while continuing to use your familiar laptop.

In particular, the increased vertical resolution makes applications such as web browsers and document display and editing far easier to use. For example, you can do things like check things with the web browser, refer to pdf files, organize data using word processing or presentation software, and create spread sheets and documents without having to change windows.

Another plus is that you can create the luxury of a "watching while" environment where you run the web browser, for instance, on the laptop"s built-in LCD and watch the video content on the large screen of the external monitor. This can be really useful for hobbies too. For example, while playing a game on the large external LCD screen you can check out strategies on websites, post information on a BBS or communicate with other users.

You can smoothly use multiple applications at the same time in the large workspace provided by a dual display. The photograph shows an EIZO 24.1-inch wide-screen LCD, the FlexScan SX2462W connected to a VAIO C. By supplementing the laptop"s built-in 1366 × 768 dot 14-inch wide-screen LCD with a 1920 × 1200 dot 24.1-inch wide-screen, it is possible to show more data at a time, a huge boost to work efficiency.

With two screens it"s easy to have full-screen display of the video content on one screen while you operate the computer on the other. The photograph shows an EIZO 23-inch wide-screen LCD monitor connected to a VAIO C. The VAIO C has HDMI output and the LCD monitor has HDMI input so visuals and sound can be transmitted by a single HDMI cable. The LCD monitor has full HD screen resolution (1920 × 1080 dot), making it the perfect match for HD video content.

At the office, it is very helpful for presentations to use "clone view" for the laptop"s built-in LCD and the external LCD screen. Clone view means showing exactly the same content on two display screens. It is normally set by a graphics driver function.

When holding small meetings it is certainly very convenient to be able to offer simple explanations of the presentation materials displayed on the external LCD, rather than having to ready a projector. Being able to explain about what is displayed on the screen means fewer documents to distribute, helping your office to "go paperless", which can only be a good thing.

We would like to point out here that you should check in advance the maximum resolution that the laptop"s external display output can handle. This can be found in documents such as the laptop"s specifications chart and support information. This is because, although most laptops can handle output up to 1920 × 1080 dots or 1920 × 1200 dots, some slightly older computers have an upper limit of 1680 × 1050 dots or 1600 × 1200 dots.

Even if the upper limit is 1680 × 1050 dots, the LCD can still display the data if its own resolution is 1680 × 1050 dots or higher. In such cases, it is better to use a monitor that offers dot-by-dot display, which displays the input resolution as it is, or enlarged display, which maintains the screen"s aspect ratio as it is. You do not need to worry because EIZO wide-screen LCDs can handle such display methods (although in some cases they do not function properly depending on the laptop computer or input resolution).

This is an example of a low-resolution display on the 1920 × 1200 dot display SX2462W. Since dot-by-dot display outputs the physical "1 dot" of the LCD and the input resolution "1 dot" without enlargement or reduction, it is shown small in the center of the screen (photo on the left). The display is a little blurred if it is enlarged while maintaining the aspect ratio, but this method is suitable for displaying images as they are shown large with low resolution to make the most of the screen size (photo on the right). Many monitors that cannot handle such display methods enlarge the display to full screen regardless of the input resolution. In such cases you have to be careful as the aspect ratio of the image is altered (for example, people appear to be thinner or fatter).

It is easy to set up a dual display in Windows 7. A menu is displayed when you right-click on the desktop. From "Screen resolution" it is possible to detect and align the external LCD, and set details such as resolution, display method and which will be the main display screen.

The "Screen resolution" menu. If the external LCD is not automatically recognized, click on "Detect". After the monitor has been recognized, you can select the display mode from the "Multiple displays" drop-down menu. Select "Extend display screen" to make the laptop screen and the external LCD into a single display screen (dual display).

Select "Duplicate display screen" from the "Multiple displays" drop-down menu to display the same content on the laptop screen and the external LCD screen (clone view). With this drop-down menu you can also set it to display video on one of the LCDs.

You can also call up a settings menu to decide the display method for a projector or external display by pressing the "Windows" and "P" keys. This is a tip worth remembering as selecting "Extension" for dual display or "Duplicate" for clone view here allows you to switch swiftly between them as necessary.

It is also worth noting that Windows 7 has added functions so that dual display can be used more effectively. An active window can be moved to the screen of another LCD by simultaneously pushing "Windows" + "Shift" + "→" (or "←"). It is also possible to maximize the window by pressing "Windows" + "↑", minimize it by pressing "Windows" + "↓", and shift it to the left or right of each screen by pressing "Windows" + "→" (or "←"). Making good use of these shortcuts should enable the efficient placing of windows in the two screens.

In Windows 7, pressing "Windows" + "Shift" + "→" instantly moves the active window from the left-hand screen (photo on the left) to the right-hand screen (photo on the right). Conversely, you can move the active window from the right-hand screen to the left-hand one by pressing "Windows" + "Shift" + "←".

We would recommend a wide-screen model with a screen resolution of 1920 × 1080 dots (Full HD) or 1920 × 1200 dots (WUXGA) as the LCD to connect to a laptop, so that you can make full use of the advantages of dual display. EIZO has an extensive line up of wide-screen LCDs which can offer many benefits, in addition to the merits of a large screen and high resolution, when used with a laptop for dual display.

One such feature is the flexible stand adjustment. For example, the tilt, swivel and height can be adjusted for the FlexScan SX2462W, a 24.1-inch WUXGA model, and the FlexScan EV2333, a 23-inch full HD model. This enables users to adjust the screen position for easy viewing according to their own posture, which not only boosts work efficiency but also reduces physical strain.

The SX2462W stand. The simultaneous adjustment of its tilt, swivel and height enables the optimum screen position to be aligned for its operating environment.

The SX2462W is also equipped with vertical display function, turning the screen through 90 degrees. Vertical display is really handy when viewing elongated documents, graphics or web pages. In addition, when used as a standard horizontal screen, a 24.1 wide-screen, with its 518.4 × 324.0 mm display area, can display two A4 sheets, in other words one A3 (420 × 297 mm) in actual size. As well as being very useful in areas such as graphics or desk top publishing, this is also bound to come in handy when checking large business or accounting documents.

Setting the connected monitor into a vertical position is very convenient when displaying elongated web pages and documents or photographs that were taken vertically

With a 24.1 inch wide-screen like the SX2462W, an A3 sheet (two A4 sheets side by side) can be viewed in actual size, particularly effective for paper-based creative work ITmedia LCD Course II, Lesson 3: Which is better, 16:10 or 16:9 ? – "Screen size / resolution / aspect ratio"

We must not forget that EIZO"s wide-screen LCDs have non-glare screens (processed to reduce ambient light reflection). Nowadays the trend is for laptops to have an LCD with glare (glossy) surface treatment. While these can display images in bright color, reflected ambient light can sometimes be distracting.

A laptop screen is not so large and adjusting its angle can avoid the reflection of lights and so on, however it is not so easy with the large screen of an external LCD. When it comes to the large screen of an LCD in habitual use, a non-glare type that is not reflective is probably easier to see, as well as being kinder on the eyes. A large screen, high resolution and non-glare ensure that you can comfortably continue viewing over a prolonged period of time.

The surface treatment of an LCD makes a difference to the background reflection. Glare panels do not diffuse background light, making it easier to achieve high color purity, but easily reflect the user or lights (photo on the left). If the lights are similarly trained on a non-glare panel they do not have much effect, only appearing as a fuzzy brightness (photo on the right).

Another distinctive feature of EIZO wide-screen LCDs is a commitment to energy saving. They incorporate various power saving features that support "EcoView". A pivotal feature is the "EcoView Sense" adopted in the FlexScan EV series, such as the EV2333W.

This is the motion sensor on the front of the LCD. It constantly monitors the user"s movements to automatically take finely-tuned power saving measures. To be more precise, if the user"s presence is not detected for a specified period of time, for example if he leaves his seat, the monitor automatically switches to power save mode, and then automatically switches back when the user"s presence is detected again.

Other features include "Auto EcoView", which automatically optimizes the brightness of the LCD based on ambient lighting, and "EcoView Index", which displays a meter on the screen showing how much power is being saved. All these features can be expected to have a strong energy saving effect and to boost the user"s awareness of power saving, making them particularly useful in the office.

A standard laptop computer switches to sleep mode if the built-in LCD is closed while it is running but, if this function is turned off, a laptop can be treated as a "small desktop computer."

It can be set to use only the connected external LCD and not to react when the laptop"s built-in LCD is closed. The transformation into a small desktop PC is complete if you add a keyboard and mouse connected to the laptop via USB ports, for example. The OS is still running even though the laptop"s built-in LCD is closed, so you can carry out normal operations using the external keyboard and mouse, and also use the laptop"s built-in optical drives.

The idea is to use a large screen, high resolution external LCD at home or in the office, and to use the laptop"s built-in LCD as usual for mobile purposes. This helps to boost the longevity of the laptop"s built-in LCD and many people do use their laptop in this way. If you feel reluctant to use a dual display environment, where the screen is split in two, why not give this a try?

Select "Only show the desktop on 2" from the "Multiple displays" list in the "Screen resolution" menu. The laptop"s built-in LCD will be switched off and the external LCD will become the main display.

In the case of Windows 7, open "Alter power button operation" from the "Power options" list in the Control Panel"s "Hardware and sound", and alter the "Operation when the cover is closed" to "Do nothing".

By making this simple setting your laptop can be used as a space saving desktop computer. Another plus is that the laptop"s built-in LCD will last longer.

Recently some high-end laptop computers, such as the Sony VAIO F, are insisting on good display quality for their LCDs. However, a typical laptop"s built-in LCD does not have as good image quality as a stand-alone LCD. This is only natural since the costs allowed for display quality are completely different for an LCD incorporated into the PC as one of its parts and a specialized LCD.

However, by using an EIZO wide-screen LCD a laptop user can still fully enjoy such benefits of a stand-alone high-quality LCD as excellent color reproduction, a wide viewing angle, more even display and a wealth of items that can be adjusted to improve image quality. This is a crucial point for people who use their computer for photographs and videos in particular.

EIZO"s wide-screen LCDs emphasize color reproduction, and the coloration in sRGB mode has a high degree of accuracy. The standard color gamut used in PC environments and Internet content is sRGB, so you need have no worries about viewing or editing videos and photographs. They can also display images on web pages, such as products in online shops or goods for sale in online auctions, in colors that are very close to the real thing. (This is also influenced by how the seller took the photographs and processed the images, so we cannot say that the colors will always be accurate.)

Furthermore, in addition to sRGB color gamut accuracy, the high resolution-oriented FlexScan SX has the added benefit of covering more than 95% of Adobe RGB. Adobe RGB is a color gamut whose definitions encompass more highly-saturated colors than sRGB. In other words, it can represent a larger number of colors and brighter hues than sRGB.

Adobe RGB is the de facto standard in the publishing field and, closer to home, is used in digital SLR cameras and high grade compact digital cameras. The FlexScan SX series can reproduce the colors of photos taken in Adobe RGB mode with almost perfect accuracy on the screen. Retouching photographs proceeds more efficiently since subtle differences in color can be checked on the screen.

An example of sRGB color gamut image data displayed on a standard laptop and on the SX2462W. The SX2462W"s reproducibility of sRGB mode is of a considerably high standard but the color balance on the laptop has been lost. This would make it difficult to perform rigorous photo retouching.

In this case, if the image is edited on the external LCD with its high color reproducibility and the many tool palettes in the application are grouped in the laptop"s built-in LCD, there is less need to display or hide the tool palettes or to switch back and forth, and the image data to be edited can be displayed in a large form, making for more efficient work.

In this case, if the image is edited on the external LCD with its high color reproducibility and the many tool palettes in the application are grouped in the laptop"s built-in LCD, there is less need to display or hide the tool palettes or to switch back and forth, and the image data to be edited can be displayed in a large form, making for more efficient work.

When doing things like photo retouching, using software where there is a lot of switching between tool palettes it is very handy to display the image data to be edited on the external LCD with its high color reproducibility, and to gather the palette tools to be used on the laptop"s built-in LCD.

Going back to the subject of laptop computers, it is not going too far to say that applications and functions are being spoiled in laptops whose built-in LCD"s image quality is not too good. Connecting a laptop to a monitor with high image quality dispels any concerns about work that deals with colors and also helps to bring out the laptop"s potential.

Combining an EIZO wide-screen LCD with a laptop computer makes viewing videos and images even more fun. Just being able to see them on a large screen is a pleasure, but what makes it even better is that our LCDs are equipped with Fine Contrast, the optimum image quality mode for video and visuals. You can also use the Custom mode to create the image quality you prefer.

We expect that you now understand how displaying screens from a laptop computer on a stand-alone LCD can create a very pleasant environment. It feels as if your everyday laptop has been transformed into a completely different desktop machine. Even if you only use laptop computers, it is definitely worthwhile to add a stand-alone LCD.

When choosing the type of LCD the most important consideration is to choose one with overall high quality. When it comes to that, we can recommend EIZO wide-screen LCDs to a broad range of laptop users. In addition to their high image quality, EIZO wide-screen LCD are built with careful attention to detail, including non-glare screens, versatile stand features, dot-by-dot capability, abundant image quality modes, and our proprietary eco-functions. We want you to make full use of your beloved laptop computer along with an EIZO wide-screen LCD.

This time we have spoken about how an external LCD can be connected to a laptop computer, but if your main machine is a desktop computer then you probably already have a LCD.

In which case, why not consider adding a full HD (1920 × 1080 dot) or WUXGA (1920 × 1200 dot) wide-screen LCD and creating a more advanced dual display environment to further enhance your computer"s usability.

Recently many computers can handle dual display output with their chipset integrated graphics function, and nearly all of them are capable of dual display output with a stand-alone graphics card.

The dual display environment of a desktop PC has a wider range of options than a laptop computer, which is already installed with an LCD. Depending on the combination of products used you can seek for a larger screen, higher resolution and better image quality.

The photograph below shows two EIZO 24.1-inch WUXGA (1920 × 1200 dot) models being used side by side for an overwhelming super high resolution of 3840 × 1200 dots in total.

You can get a super high resolution of 3840 × 1200 dots in total by putting two 24.1-inch 1920 × 1200 dot wide-screen LCDs side by side. The advantage in this is that a larger screen and higher resolution are achieved at a lower cost than buying a single 30-inch high resolution model

Are you trying to show off your vacation pictures to family members gathered around the living room? Is your laptop screen not big enough to watch a movie on a high-quality display? Maybe you just want to surf the web from the comfort of your couch using a wireless keyboard and mouse?

There are plenty of reasons you might want to connect a computer or laptop to your TV. It opens up a world of possibilities, so you can do everything from stream videos to play triple-A (AAA) games on a 60-inch 4K monitor.

“HDMI” stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. An HDMI output on your laptop or computer feeds high-definition video and audio into a compatible display via an HDMI input on your TV.

You can use HDMI cables to mirror the display and sound on a computer to a TV, and you’ll also find these input/output ports on projectors, cable boxes, and AV receivers. These cables are the easiest, most convenient method to learn how to connect a computer to a TV. Essentially, all you’ll need to do is insert one end of the HDMI cable to a compatible computer and plug the opposite end into the receiving port behind your TV panel.

Keep in mind though, if you’re not connecting a portable laptop to a TV and would instead like to project the display of a stationary computer, you’ll need an HDMI cable that’s long enough to reach between both devices. Instead of purchasing a 6-foot cable, you might want to opt for a 10-foot HDMI cable to connect a PC to a TV and minimize your risk of trip hazards.

Pro tip: A longer cable can result in signal degradation and a possible loss in audio or visual quality. If you’re experiencing issues with your picture display, switch to a cord shorter than 16 feet in length or connect your laptop to a TV using an alternative method.

When shopping for HDMI cables, you’ll probably notice that there are different monitor types. As display panels evolve from High Definition Resolution (HDR) to Full HD (FHD) and Ultra HD (UHD), manufacturers are eager to offer more powerful signal transmitters. Before spending unnecessary money on expensive cables, double check your system requirements to make sure you only pay for what you need.

High-Speed HDMI cables will have no problem displaying 4K resolution, FHD, and UHD. This cable is especially recommended for users looking to connect a laptop to a TV with a 3D display.

You might also encounter Standard or High-Speed HDMI cables with Ethernet. These allow for data transmission and let you share an internet connection between your laptop or PC and an internet-ready Smart TV.

In most cases, you should be fine with a standard, entry-level HDMI cable, but if you’d like to play AAA video games with advanced graphics in immersive detail, or mirror your display onto a 3D HDTV, you should consider upgrading to an HDMI cable with a faster connection.

If you’re learning how to connect a laptop to a TV but can’t find an HDMI port on your device, it may be incompatible and require a Digital Visual Interface (DVI) adapter to set up a dual display system. You should be aware that a DVI-to-HDMI connection will not support audio signals; in this case, you must connect to a laptop to a TV using an Audio Line Out with the DVI Audio Line In to hear the sound.

If this is inconvenient, you can also use a Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) adapter to establish an HDMI connection between your phone or tablet to your TV instead of your laptop or computer.

If your output does not automatically adjust, go to “Control Panel” —> “Display” —> “Adjust Resolution” —> and select “TV” in the “Display” drop-down menu.

Users on a Windows® Vista™ operating system who are learning how to connect a PC to a TV will need to make additional adjustments to select the HDMI as the default audio device.

If you’re connecting a computer to a TV in order to play video games with advanced graphics on a better display, you might want to adjust your NVIDIA® or ATI® card settings for a better viewing experience. Open the software by right-clicking anywhere on your desktop window; there you’ll be able to make tweaks to 3D settings, display settings, high definition format, and more.

Learning how to connect a computer to a TV with an HDMI is pretty easy, but not necessarily the most convenient method for creating a mirrored display. You might accidentally pick out a cable that’s too short or too slow to meet your demands. Clunky cables can also be unsightly, making your otherwise-streamlined entertainment unit appear messy or disorganized.

To solve this, you can learn how to connect a computer to a TV wirelessly and spare yourself the hassle of HDMI cords. Wireless connections are especially convenient for PC users who lack the mobility of a laptop and do not want to constantly relocate their computer to be within the TV’s reach.

The new Intel Unite® technology allows for content sharing and collaboration across all major devices and operating systems (OS). You can use the open platform software across mixed technology environments, enabling you to not only connect a laptop to a TV, but also a document camera to a projector, digital whiteboard to a monitor, and much more using the plugins from the Intel Unite App Showcase.

Prior to the Unite solution, Intel offered a WiDi (or Wireless Display-Distribution) system that enabled users to wirelessly stream videos, movies, photos, and music from a computer to a compatible HDTV monitor.

Monitors that are not WiDi-equipped could pair with a computer using the HP Wireless TV Connect, eliminating the use of an HDMI cable to connect a laptop to a TV. If both your monitor and PC are WiDi-enabled, this could be an effective way to connect wirelessly.

WiFi CERTIFIED Miracast™ has become standard on Microsoft Windows® 10 and beyond, which allows users to seamlessly beam the display of multimedia content between Miracast devices without the need of any third-party hardware.

It wirelessly mirrors whatever is displayed on the screen of your laptop or computer to a TV, including high-resolution presentations, pictures, videos, and apps - even when no WiFi connection is available.

Older Windows devices can use an adapter or download software to use Miracast, or purchase external hardware such as a Roku TV™ or Amazon Fire TV™ which use the same wireless display technology.

Now the whole family can watch a movie without squeezing around a small screen. Connect your PC to a TV and put a slideshow of pictures on display, or connect your laptop to a TV to play AAA video games with jaw-dropping graphics on a large 4K display.

You can use it for business or entertainment, collaboration or convenience, but learning how to connect your computer to a TV can prevent you from investing in a brand-new monitor, saving you money along the way.

Assess your needs and ask yourself whether you’re okay with using an HDMI cable to connect a laptop to a TV or if you’d prefer a wireless connection. If you go the former route, make sure you give yourself adequate cable length and speed to seamlessly sync your device. Those who’d prefer to do without unsightly cables should check their OS compatibility to see which software or hardware can satisfy their needs.

Once you learn the best method to connect your laptop or computer to your TV, everyone will be able to view your PC content easily from the comfort of your couch.

There are several ways to connect a computer to the monitor or projector. The devices may have different types of video connectors, VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort (DP), USB-C, and so on. The process to connect a computer to the monitor or projector is the same. The instructions in this article provide information about connecting a computer to a monitor or projector.

NOTE: To learn how to set up a Dell monitor, see the User Guide of the Dell monitor for step-by-step instructions. For non-Dell monitors, see the User Guide of the monitor that is available on the device manufacturer"s website.

It is important to identify the type of video connector that is available on the computer and the monitor or projector. Using the correct type of video cable helps avoid video or display issues.

There are two types of video transmission methods: Digital and Analog (see the table below). Each video connector is capable of either digital or analog video signal transmission. Analog video connectors such as S-video, Composite, VGA, SVGA, and DVI (analog) do not support playback of protected high-definition digital content, such as Blu-ray movies, over an analog connection, you will probably get an error message or the movie will play at lower quality resolutions.

Dell desktop: The video connectors are on the back of the computer. If your Dell desktop has a dedicated graphics card (GPU), you must use the video connector that is available on the graphics card (GPU).

Dell all-in-one: The video connectors are on the back of the computer. NOTE: Video-out connector to connect a secondary display is not available on all Dell all-in-one computers. To identify if the Dell all-in-one computer supports a secondary display, see the User Guide of your Dell all-in-one computer.

Dell laptop: The video connectors are available on the back, left, or right side of the laptop. To learn more about what video connectors are available, see the User Guide of your Dell laptop.

Dell monitor: The video connectors are available on the back of the monitor. To learn more about what video connectors are available, see the User Guide of your Dell monitor.

Dell projector: The video connectors are available on the back of the projector. To learn more about what video connectors are available, see the User Guide of your Dell projector.

When the video connector on the back of the computer does not match with the video connector on the monitor or projector, you may need an adapter or converter. See the using adapters or converters section of this article.

The USB-C connector, also known as USB Type-C, is used to transmit digital audio and video signals simultaneously on a single cable. Device manufacturers can enable alternate modes like DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3, or HDMI that can transmit both video and audio signals using the same cable. See the device specifications to identify if the USB-C port on your device supports one of these alternate modes. NOTE: A USB-C port that does not support DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 3 alternate mode cannot transmit audio or video signals.

The DisplayPort connector is used to transmit digital audio and video signals simultaneously, although each is optional and can be transmitted without the other. There are several versions of DisplayPort standards. With each latest version of DisplayPort, new features are added. The DisplayPort connector on the device and the DisplayPort cable are designed with one specific version of DisplayPort standard. For example, DisplayPort version 1.2 and above supports Multi-Stream Transport (MST) or daisy-chaining compatible monitors. DisplayPort cables and ports may have either a "full-size" connector or a "mini" connector. These connectors differ only in their physical shape, the capabilities of DisplayPort are the same regardless of which connector is used. Using a mini DisplayPort (mDP) connector does not affect the performance or feature support of the connection. For more information about DisplayPort, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort

The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connector is the most common digital audio/video connector that is available on many computers, monitors, TVs, and projectors. HDMI supports the transmission of both video and audio signals on a single cable. There are several versions of HDMI standards. With each latest version of HDMI, new features are added. The HDMI connector on the device and the HDMI cable are designed with one specific version of the HDMI standard. For example, HDMI version 2.0a and above supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) video. There are five types of HDMI connectors: standard HDMI, dual-link HDMI, mini HDMI, micro HDMI, and HDMI automotive connector. For more information about HDMI, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI

The DVI connector is used to transmit analog or digital video signals depending on the type of DVI connector that is available. The DVI connector on a device can be one of three types, depending on which signals it implements: DVI-A (analog only), DVI-D (digital only, single-link or dual-link), and DVI-I (combines digital and analog in the same connector; digital may either support single or dual link). The pin configuration in each type of connector is unique. For more information about DVI, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface

The VGA or SVGA connector is the most common video connector that is available on many devices. The standard VGA monitor interface is a 15-pin D-subminiature connector. For more information about VGA, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Graphics_Array

The RGB component connector is used to send an analog video signal to a secondary display device, such as a TV or projector. The cable has 3 connectors (red, green, and blue) for video. The digital component video connector became popular in both computers and home-theatre applications.

The RCA or composite connector is used to send an analog video signal to a secondary display device, such as a TV or projector. The cable has 1 connector (yellow) for video + 2 connectors (white and red) for the left and right audio channels.

For multiple monitors, connect the other monitors to an available video connector on the computer. To learn more, see the Dell knowledge base article How to Set up Multiple Monitors.

For help with connecting a monitor to a Dell docking station, see the Dell knowledge base article How to Connect and Set Up a Docking Station With a Laptop.

Select the correct video source on the monitor or projector. For example, if you are using the HDMI 1 video connector on the monitor, set the source to HDMI 1. To learn more about how to change the video source, see the User Guide of your Dell monitor or projector.

When the video connector on the back of the computer does not match the video connector on the monitor or projector, you may need an adapter or converter. See the Using adapters or converters section of this article.

For optimal video performance, download and install the latest video drivers from the Dell.com/support website. To learn more about downloading and installing the drivers on a Dell computer, see the Dell knowledge base article How to Download and Install a Device Driver.

When the video connector on the back of the computer does not match the video connector on the monitor or projector, you may need an adapter or converter. See the table below for examples of adapters or converters that are available.

NOTE: Many video converters or adapters are not bi-directional. They can only transmit video signals in a single direction, from the source (computer) to the display device (monitor or projector). An incompatible or incorrect adapter or converter may cause a no video or display issue.
