Can two laptop computers be connected with a vga or dvi cable?

Is a DVI cable a monitor cable?
DVI is the digital display standard for computer displays, so it is indeed a monitor cable. DVI provides similar resolutions to analog VGA cables when running LCD panels at their native resolution and normally avoid timing errors that can reduce the clarity of VGA signals in some cases. DVI can also support analog VGA signals on the same cable so before changing to a DVI cable make sure your monitor and computer both support DVI digital.
How do you connect a MacBook Pro to plasma?

What is the purpose of a mini DVI to VGA cord?
The mini DVI to VGA cord is a converter cable or adapter cable. These types of cables will take input from one type of port and convert it into output which will be sent into the second type of port. In this case it will plug in something with a mini DVI plug into a VGA port.
How do you display video on a philips tv using a HDMI to dvi cable that's connected to the pc via a dvi to vga adapter?
You cannot connect a HDMI to a VGA video output on a computer. VGA is an analog signal and the DVI adapter connects it to the analog pins on the DVI cable (a DVI-I cable has both analog and digital pins). A HDMI to DVI cable connects to the cable's digital pins, therefore, no connection is being made. The easiest way to do this is to upgrade your computer's video card to one with a HDMI output. These can be purchased for less than $50.00, and will allow you to connect your computer to your TV with one cable and no adapters.
Can extra monitors be attached to a laptop via the USB ports?

Can you use a HDMI to dvi adapter and dvi to vga adapter to connect your ps3 from HDMI to your projector by vga?
No. HDMI to DVI uses a DVI-D or DVI-I connection and is digital, but a DVI to VGA uses a DVI-I or DVI-A and is analog. The best way to connect a PS3 to a projector is to see if the projector support component video through the VGA input using a VGA to component pigtail adapter. The projector might have even come with one. You then need to purchase a PS3 component video cable. This will allow resolutions up to 1080i (if your projector support it).

A VGA-HDMI cord can plug into my monitor via the VGA side and the HDMI into the output device. Is the LCD monitor output still going to be analog which would make that cord useless?
When you use a VGA cable coming out of the monitor, the monitor is giving out an analog signal through the VGA connection. For the monitor to give out a digital signal, you need a DVI or HDMI cable. The VGA to HDMI cord just converts the analog signal into a digital signal so it's not completely useless, however the quality will not be as good as an HDMI to HDMI or DVI to DVI or HDMI to DVI
