I have a laptop that has a VGA out on the back. I was wondering if I could get the small display of my laptop onto the 20 inch LCD monitor I bought recently. If so what will I need and need to do to get it to display properly on the 20 inch?

Depends on the monitor. If it has a D-sub then it can go in the regular outlet. The other type of connection is a DVI, although a fair amount of LCDs still have D-Sub connection. If it is a DVI, you will need an adapter like this:\nhttp://www.partstore.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductSKU=2450834&s=sspro

if your Video card built inside the mother board does not have any other plug than the monitor output, simply buy a converter to adjust the plug. if you do have any plugs than can be used as out put, plug it in then go to Disply options and switch to the other display adapter, then click on ( make this my primery display ) or such a thing

Yes, you can hook it up the same way. You can also go another step and do things like split screen between the laptop and monitor - but that you need additional drivers for. Otherwise, you're just projecting the same thing on one or both screens.

I don't think so ususally laptops do not have video inputs, so all you can display on the laptop screen is the laptop output. Sorry!

It's possible to do a dual-display setup with your computer but there are some things you should know.\n\n* AGP cards are exclusive so it definitely won't share with your on-board video.\n* Some systems are designed to disable on-board video when another video card is inserted (PCI or AGP).  It's hard to tell if your system will do that.\n\nNo problem though, you just need to buy a video card with two video outputs.  I'm familiar with nvidia cards and I know for certain that dual-display is supported in the software so any nvidia card would work as long as two VGA outputs are present on the card.  If you plan to connect to one CRT and one LCD with DVI connector, you can use this card then (see picture):\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121184\n\nIf you are doing two CRTs, however, you'll need something like this where they include a DVI-to-VGA adaptor:\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814168002\n\nYou can also look for dual-VGA video cards like this one but I'm not familiar with ATI products and how easy it is to set it up:\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814161150

Basically any monitor is compatible with any desktop computer. It may even be connected to a laptop. Before buying a new one. You may want to check the display settings in your control panel (System/Device Manager). Make sure that the correct drivers for the video card and monitor. You may have to start-up in safe mode in order to do this. What I did before to solve this problem is to delete the monitor entry in the device manager and restarted the PC. Windows will automatically detect the monitor connected to the PC. Same is true with the display card if you decide to delete the entry for it. But it may require you to install the video card driver. \n\nPlease note that if your old monitor is 15" and you buy a 17/19" monitor, you may have problems if you don't correct the settings in control panel. Monitors of different sizes operates on different frequencies and may give you the same problem of monitor shutting down during windows boot-up/start-up.

if you want to ensure optimal performance, you should replace screen with orginal size and type.  not only that, not every screen will fit as far as screw holes, connectors, etc.  And for the price you will pay for a replacement lcd screen nowadays, it is cheaper just to buy a new laptop.  my screen went out on my "old" laptop, 1.3 ghs, not that old, but it would have been 500 to fix whereas I bought a brand spanking new laptop that kicks ass for 800.

Ok, If you are running as two screens, drag one application to the other screen, if it shows on both screens you have it set to clone, you need to either make it 2 sepearte screens in video properties, or one large screen that you can drag on application to one half(display) and one to the other. if your video card will support 2 monitors, that is.

There are several ways to do it.  First,  you need to make sure that your video card has a "video out" capability (Sometimes called VIVO, for Video In/Video Out).  Usually a video card will come with an adapter that looks a little like an S-video cable that you can plug in, to convert the image and send it either to an S-video or a composite (RCA) cable.   Of course, your TV needs to have the appropriate S-video or RCA input, too.\n\nOnce you have it hooked up and the TV turned on, enter your display settings (right-click on desktop, go to Settings, and Advanced), and see if your PC has automatically detected the TV.  You can set it to either clone (copy) your monitor, or be an extension of your desktop.  However, depending on the distance between the TV and your computer, this may not give you the best signal.  The resolution is fine for watching TV, but bad for reading text on the screen.\n\nThe other option is to take what the other answerer said and buy a PC to TV converter.  This is a specialized, powered unit into which you plug the VGA from your computer.  It will have a TV-compatible output (S-video or composite) that you can run to your TV.  These are more expensive than the above option, but give a clearer signal and work even if your PC doesn't have a VIVO or S-Video output.\n\nYou could also check out the website of your video card manufacturer for more information.

WinDVD displays video using an overlay on the primary display screen.\n\nAre you using the TV out on your laptop to connec to to the projector or the 15 pin VGA connector?\n\nIf you are using the TV connection out then the anti piracy protection in WinDVD may be preventing the video overlay from being sent to the TV out. Try connecting to the projector via the VGA connector. \n\nAlso you may need to disable the laptop screen to get the video overlay to show on the projector as it normally only comes up on the primary display screen. Normally you do this by pressing fn and one of the number keys. The number key should have a blue icon on it to depict where the video output will go.

Are you talking about something like making the desktop monitor the primary input source for the notebook?\n\nYou should be able to connect the cable from the desktop to the notebook. You may need a specialty cable, depending on the model of the notebook and type of monitor.

switch to 16 colors first... then go back into display, if your video card will handle it then it should give you the option to go bigger. X

Your monitor should work just fine - it uses a standard hdb-15 cable to connect to your computer.  \nMake sure you change the voltage settings on your power supply (of your computer) - it is usually a red switch in the back of your pc (by the power cord).
