You need a SVGA cable or S-video cable depending on your "monitor out" configuration. Doesn't matter if it is a PC or laptop, Windows or Mac system. Make SURE the SVGA cable is 2-male ends because the computer and monitor EACH have female ends. Visit Best Buy or Fry's Electronics if you are unsure what will work.

Answer 2

This depends upon the type of monitor and graphics adapter you are using, but in most cases, it will be either a VGA port, or a DVI port that the monitor will need to be connected to. You will also need a power cord to provide power to the monitor. These cables are usually, though not always, included when you buy a new monitor.

Answer 4

The monitor attaches to the computer with the monitor cable. There are at least 4 different types of plugs used. VGA is a common cable type, though probably no longer the most popular. HDMI, DVI and Display Port are other common types. From there, the socket connects to the display adapter plugged into the motherboard, or in a number of situations, the motherboard itself. Located there will be the GPU and related components which handle the video information. In some machines, the CPU also functions as the GPU.

Answer 5

Computer Monitors normally plug directly into the computer itself. An exception to this could be in the case of a large multimedia production. If you look on the back of your computer you'll find the connection for your monitor. You monitor is likely to have either a USB connection or a VGA connection. If you are using Apple products, you may encounter a DVI connection.
