Best Answer

Yes, as long as it has an external VGA or S-video connection, which are usually on the left hand side of the laptop (some more expensive models have HDMI for connecting to flat screen monitors/TVs).

Of course, depending on your connection, you would need to buy the correct cable as well. After that, just go into your display settings and extend the display to your monitor.
