Types of Computer Monitors and Monitor Connections: What Does a Monitor Need?

When you're deciding how to add a monitor (or two) to a laptop or how to connect a desktop to a monitor, there are a few things you need to know. Besides the ever important power cable, the first thing is what kind of monitor connection(s) your laptop or desktop has. There are several:
 

Older, But Still Common, Generally Lower Quality (Resolution) Image:
 

  • DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
  • VGA (Video Graphics Array)
  • DP (DisplayPort)
  • Mini DP (Mini DisplayPort)
  • Component Video
  • Composite Video

Newer, More Common, Generally Higher Quality (Resolution) Image:
 

  • HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface, Currently most common connection)
  • USB Display Port (Universal Serial Bus Display Port)
  • USB-C (Universal Serial Bus - C)
  • Thunderbolt 1 or 2

If your computer has one type of connection and the monitor you're interested in has another, don't fret. We can often find a display adapter to convert one connector type to another.

In addition to the monitor connector, you'll need to know a little bit about the quality or resolution that your chosen monitor displays. The computer experts at Boise Computer Depot can help you with this.

If you have an older computer and don't want to upgrade any computer components, you may need to purchase an older model monitor because newer, high-definition monitors may overwhelm your computer. A conversation with one of our computer specialists can easily resolve this for you.
 

Whether you simply need to replace a monitor you had, or if you're looking for bigger monitors, the best dual screen monitor setups (even with laptops), or as many displays as your gaming PC can handle, Boise Computer Depot  is here for you. If you have questions about monitors or are ready to select one to buy, call us (208) 602-6132 or contacting us here. We're ready to help.
