If you want to connect your laptop to a monitor without HDMI, there are a few ways to do it. You can use a DVI to HDMI adapter, a VGA to HDMI adapter, or a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. You can also use a Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI adapter if your laptop has a Thunderbolt 3 port. If you’re not sure which port your laptop has, you can usually find out by looking up the specs online or checking the manual. Once you know which port you have, you can buy the appropriate adapter and connect your laptop to the monitor. Make sure to set the resolution on the monitor to the native resolution of the monitor so that you get the best image quality.
If you have a newer laptop with a USB-C port, you can also use a USB-C to HDMI adapter to connect to an HDMI monitor. This is the easiest and most convenient way to connect, and it’s also the best way to get the highest quality image. Most USB-C to HDMI adapters also support charging the laptop while it’s connected, so you can keep your laptop charged while you’re using it as a desktop.
Once you have the adapter, simply connect it to the appropriate port on your laptop and then connect the other end to the HDMI port on the monitor. You may need to use a mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter if your laptop has a mini-HDMI port. Make sure to set the resolution on the monitor to the native resolution of the monitor so that you get the best image quality.
