vga monitor connect to laptop
How do I connect my monitor cable to my Dell Optiplex 9020
Can I connect this old Dell monitor to my Dell Inspiron laptop with a VGA to HDMI converter? Please read the captions in the pics, thanks.
Any idea on how to connect this dell monitor to a modern pc? I’m curious to see if an old monitor works and it isn’t showing up when i try to detect in settings.
Can a VGA cable be used with modern monitors?
What is the correct way to connect a VGA cable to a monitor?
When would I need a Dell Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?

Does the connector in your expansion slot look like one of these (aside from color):
No, unfortunately my monitor doesn't have different input options.
But thank you for steering me towards the expansion ports. I'm
hoping this might be the solution.
Turns out the top expansion port has been replaced with something
else. But it doesn't look like the HDMI example you referenced.
On this replaced expansion port I see a white device that I've never
seen before. It has 3 horizontal rows each with 8 small holes. I'm hoping
this white plug with the 24 holes will accept an adapter which will work
with my vga cable.
IT will take a little time to track it down and put it together but I will let
you know if it works.
And again, thank you for your help,
Joseph
I just got a Optiplex 7050 SFF Desktop PC and Dell Monitor. I had to order a VGA cord and got one with 15 pins instead of 9. I need a male with 15 pins to female with 9 but I can’t find one online. Should I get an adapter instead? I’m the most tech illiterate gen Z so sorry if this is really dumb.
