Yes, if you laptop has HDMI port, you just need an HDMI male-to-male cable. If you laptop has a DVI port, you need to purchase a DVI-to-HDMI cable with DVI audio support (e.g. not all DVI cables support audio)

You can hook your PC up to this TV via a few methods:1) VGA. You'll be able to use the standard "15-pin D-Sub" cable most are familiar with for most PCs. This provides an analog signal.2) DVI-to-HDMI. If your PC has an DVI port, you can get a HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable and plug the DVI end into your PC and the HDMI end into your TV.3) HDMI. If your PC has an HDMI port, you can plug an HDMI cable from the PC to the TV. This link also provides sound (not entirely sure the TV supports this but most do).There is also a 4th option, less likely, but if your laptop or PC has a DisplayPort port, you can get a DisplayPort Male to HDMI Cable Male or if you have a Macbook, a mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. I personally have no experience with DisplayPort so YMMV. You can hook your PC up to this TV via a few methods:1) VGA.

No, just get a USB to HDMI adapter or if your laptop has HDMI you can go that route as well, some have big or mini HDMI so just look up you model and see what connections you have. This should help you!

No, you can only hook it up to a laptop. If you have an HDMI port on both your computer and tv and have an HDMI cable, then you can hook your computer to your tv and this to your computer.

that would depend on what cables you have and what ports your laptop has. This t.v. needs an a/v hook-up (the yellow one is video, white is sound, red is power) So if you can find a cable to transfer a/v to hdmi or vga (that depends on laptop's ports) Try cable made to connect dvd to pc

Yes if you have a HDMI connection on your laptop you can connect direct to the TV and have an amazing picture

No. It requires a digital optical cable (Toslink). Most new TV's have an optical output on them so connection should be simple.

go to your local electronics store and get a usb to conventional tv adapter.

I do not know, have only tried connecting Directv, tv, and DVD (Bluray) player

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.

Most laptops have an HDMI out connection. Just connect it to the device, reset the output on your laptop to HDMI, then select either HDMI 1 OR HDMI 2 using the menu on the Sony device. (Recognize that it does only have 2 HDMI inputs, so if you use your laptop for one of them, you will have only one more to connect to your satellite system or cable box.)

It comes with the cable to connect to the TV directly. But it is not a USB cable.

No. You need a USB to HDMI cable. But if your laptop has a display port (usually bigger than your USB port) then you can use this

You can not use your laptop. You have to have a separate monitor with a vga connection. Sometimes if you look at your flat screen tv's in your house one of them should have a vga port you can plug it in and program without buying a monitor.

Just use HDMI from your laptop to the monitor, it's a better interface. That's the way mine is connected.

I have not tried doing that but I don't think you can hook it up to a TV, only because there isn't the right connection for that.

Yes, with the proper cable. This laptop has video out via the "mini-displayport" connector on the right-hand side. You can get a cable that will adapt this to an HDMI input on your Tv/Monitor.
