If you plug a monitor into a laptop will it play through the monitor?

yes it will. The laptop should notice it as a plug and play and install it automatic. The only problem is that both the laptop screen and the moniter will be on at the same time. Hope this helps Most if not all laptops have a video out socket on the back. It could be the normal VGA D-type adapter or simply S-video, take a lead from this to your monitor and it should work. There may be an option you need to turn on, to get the video to output through the video out socket.
