difult monitor and external monitor Because you probably have the connection (and ability to operate) a second monitor built in to the laptop. Check the plugs on the side of the laptop, there is no doubt a plug for an additional monitor.
Your screen connector or your screen is failing in the laptop.
no you can not do this. you can only use an external monitor on the laptop.
If the IBM laptop you use has a VGA port you just connect your monitor cable directly to the port. Then turn on the laptop and it should install the drivers needed to use the external monitor automatically. If you laptop does not have a VGA port then you will need a "Laptop replica port" to add the VGA port so you can connect the monitor.
External monitor needs adjustment to eliminate tint.
i would have to say no.
my monitor seems fine, is yours broken?
Plug in the desktop monitor to the laptop and turn the laptop. if nothing comes up, go to desplay settings.
Yes you can, just use a VGA cable and that will typically allow you to connect a laptop to a monitor. Once you connect the monitor, you need to go to your properties and allow the monitor extend the screen.
That sounds like a BIOS setting. Open the bios and see what you can figure out. there should be a setting that allows both the laptop screen and a remote monitor to be functional at the same time.
you get to see your laptop on a (most likely) bigger area or you can set it up to be extra real estate(one document on your laptop and one on your extra monitor)
The largest laptop screen is 20.1 inches and is on the Acer Aspire.
