Connecting a Yoga 11 to Monitor

I know next to nothing about computers so bear with me.
I have a Yoga 11 with RT 8.1.
I'd like to buy a 19-inch second-hand monitor (for $35) to put at my desk at school (I have a shared office) so I have a larger screen to look at when I'm writing papers. This will be the only use for the monitor. 
The monitor I'm consdering has an hdmi to dvi cable. Will this cable work, or will I need to buy a new one? 
How would I go about setting this all up?

The Yoga 10 does not support MHL.  Your only options are wireless display (I haven't tried this myself) or Chromecast.

  • Connecting Thinkpad Yoga to Dual VGA Monitors

    I recently received my Thinkpad Yoga, and would like to connect it to dual external monitors (I will only be using those two monitors, not the laptop monitor) that both have VGA connectors. My original thought was to get the Thinkpad Onelink Pro Dock but as near as I can tell that only has the DVI connectors on the back. I suppose I could get that, then get a DVI -> VGA connector, but just wanted to check in here to see if anybody else had any better / less complicated / less expensive solutions to this. 
    Many thanks,
    Bryce

    The displayport output is better than the vga.

  • Yoga and external monitor

    I have a Yoga Pro to which I have connected a large touch screen monitor and keyboard/mouse.  What I would like to do is to close the Yoga yet still have it not go to sleep while the monitor is connected.  i.e., use the Yoga as a desktop in my office.  Is this possible and how?
    Solved!

  • Connecting Mac Pro to Dell monitor

    I have connected Macpro to Dell DVI monitor, the Dell will show the Mac home screen, but stays on that screen when i change to a different screen (on Mac)?

    You have it set up as an extended desktop rather than mirroring. That means you can drag a window from your MBP onto that monitor. It's like an extension of the existing monitor. If you want mirroring, which shows the same on both, go to Displays in System Preferences and change it.

    You're trying to use a PS3 with a PC monitor?  I thought that couldn't be done, but I'm not sure.
    Why wouldn't it?
    PC monitors and LCD HDTVs are nearly indistinguishable from each other now, at least when connecting via HDMI.
    It should simply be a case of:
    HDMI from PS3 to PC monitor
    Audio output (depends on your audio system) from PS3 to audio system.  (Actually, this is one of the few differences between PC monitors and TVs with HDMI connectivity - most PC monitors don't have speakers, TVs do and support HDMI audio.)
    In my case, I have HDMI to my 46" TV and optical audio to a Yamaha receiver, but could easily move the PS3 to my "office" and connect to my 24" Gateway monitor and my other Yamaha receiver.  (Yes, I have TWO Yamaha HTIB systems, one in the living room and one in the "office".)

  • Connecting iBook G3 as second monitor for iBook G4

    I want to know if (and then how) I can connect my iBook G4 (running on OSX (10.4.5)) to an iBook G3, ultimately connecting the iBook G3 to a data projector, so that I can use presenter tools in PowerPoint.
    iBook G4, iBook G3 Mac OS X (10.4.5) iBook G3 will be connected to the data projector
    iMac G5; iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    If I understand what you want to do, you want to use another iBook as a second monitor. Is that correct? If so, there's no way to get video into the second iBook. There's only a video output. You can connect your iBook to another monitor now or to a video projector. The image on the second monitor would mirror the iBook's. Screen Spanning Doctor allows you to have the desktop span across two monitors. Be aware though that SPDr is a system hack and could void your warranty if you use it.

  • Connected my macbook pro to monitor but everything is purple on the monitor

    I connected my laptop to a monitor but everything is purple on my monitor. any ideas?
    thanks

    I have this too sometimes. I find that turning off the monitor and turning it back on clears it right up. For the record I've got a Macbook pro 15 inch with Retina display connected to a Hannspree monitor via hdmi.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    You would need to find a 3rd party dispay extender app to accomplish this. The results may or may not be acceptable to you.

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I'm not sure how to connect to the monitor as the only ports available on this model mac are Thunderbolt. The mini display to display cable supplied doesn't seem to work out of the TB port. Do I need to use a Thunderbolt cable + an adaptor?

  • Can I connect a Power Mac G5 monitor to a Macbook pro?

    I still have my Power Mac G5 monitor that still works. I wanted to know if I can connect the monitor to my Macbook pro. I'm not sure what adapters, if any, I should use. Thanks in advance.

    What brand and model of monitor and what type of connectors does it have?
    PowerMac G5s did not ship with a monitor but you could use several Apple monitors of the time plus common third-party monitors like Sony, ViewSonic, etc. However, the type of video connection varies, even on Apple monitors. So we would need to know what connectors (or at least make/model) to research the required adpators.
    If you are asking about a G5 iMac----looks like this:
    Then, no, it cannot be used as an external monitor in the traditional sense. You may be able to use third-party, screen-sharing software if both computers are networked. See here:

    It appears the software still supports older Macs.

    dovdov2,
    are you saying that when you connect your MacBook Pro to a monitor, your Internet connection slows down, but when you disconnect the monitor, it speeds up again, and that this is reproducible from one day to another?
    Does this happen both under OS X and under Windows 7, or only under one of them?
    How are you currently connecting your MacBook Pro to your monitor?

  • 13'' Macbook (Mid 2009), connecting to 30'' non-Mac monitor

    Hi, i am buying a Dell monitor. Here is a link and the name of that monitor from a friend.
    Dell™ 3007WFP Flat Panel Monitor http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/3007WFP/EN/about.htm#Front%20 View
    I have a 13'' Macbook (Mid 2009) and im going to try and connect that computer to that monitor. I bought a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1NTE) but it only got the screen to the 1280x800, like the 13'' inch is set to. I'm asking if it is possible to connect that monitor via Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1ODY)
    Both the Monitor and the cable are very expensive so i would apprisiate if you could tell me anything about them.

    but it only got the screen to the 1280x800, like the 13'' inch is set to
    1280 by 800 is the highest possible resolution for a 30-inch display on a single-link DVI connection.
    I'm asking if it is possible to connect that monitor via Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
    Yes.

  • I am unintentionally come to delete the bluetooth connection to my heart rate monitor in my iPhone 4s. How can I restore the connection?

    I am unintentionally come to delete the bluetooth connection to my heart rate monitor in my iPhone 4s. How can I restore the connection?

    Thanks, but unfortunately for me the Polar H7 does not have any buttons or anything that can actively affect the pairing, it is manifest just a transmitter. Pairing can apparently only be done by finding the Polar H7 in the unit that you want to pair with (my 4s) and after my delete of the device, my iPhone 4s does not retrieve it as a Bluetooth device.

  • After connecting a Hanns.G HL269 monitor to my MacBook air  I Installation Guide for windows 7. Where do I find installation guide for Mac? ?

    After connecting a Hanns.G HL269 monitor to my MacBook air I entered the disc for the Installation Guide for windows 7 that came with the monitor. Where canI obtain the installation guide for a Mac?

    Those are two Q&A steps from the manufacturer's website. The first one indicating that the "driver" CD is not necessary. The second one is worth following to make sure the monitor is behaving properly. In addition you can go into System Preferences > Displays and then the Arrangement tab to see if the monitor responses from there.
