Product: elite display E231

Hi All

 

I this is a easy answer! I have just purchased an E231 monitor to plug into my laptop. The monitor has VGA, DVI and Displayport but my laptop only has USB and HDMI ports. Can I just buy a cable adapting from from one of the ports on the monitor to one on my laptop and if so which one.?

 

I'm thinking VGA to either HDMI or USB.

 

Please help!

 

thanks

Hi,

 

The simplest and cheapest option is to use a HDMI-DVI cable and still keep digtal connection.
