L1940T

I have a HP L1940T and my new computer (laptop) does not have a VGA or DVI input for a monitor. It has only a HDMI or USB connections.
I tried using the USB upstream connector from the monitor to the laptop USB port, but my laptop could not detect it. By the way, the laptop uses Windows 8 so I don't know if there could be an issue with a driver.
I don't understand the purpose of the USB upstream connector so maybe it wasn't intended to connect the monitor and laptop.
I use this monitor as a second screen when I am using my laptop at my desk.
This monitor is older and does not appear to have a HDMI connection.
So, I appear to be stuck. I can't use the VGA or DVI connections from the monitor. The monitor doesn't have a HDMI connection. The USB upstream connector does connect to the laptop USB port but the laptop doesn't seem to recognize it.
Can anyone help? Thanks!

Well, for one the USB function isn't for video. You would need an adapter to make it work.

  • T430 No Video in Dock Station

    I have a T430 and Dock Station 433710U.  I have an older monitor HP L1940T with max 1280X1024 resolution attached to the VGA port on the docking station.  I lowered the resolution on the laptop to 1024X768.  When I turn on the laptop I see the "Starting Windows" splash screen and then it goes blank.  No video. 
    Undocked I have gotten it work okay as an external projector. 
    Hopefully someone can help.

    Yea for some reason the video pauses and just the sound continues. That is disappointing I used to watch small videos while working.

    Hello solomio,
    OSD lockout usually pops up when the monitor menu but has been depressed for a few seconds and the message displays briefly and then goes away.
    Try pressing and holding the menu button on the monitor for a few seconds to first unlock the OSD.
    If the menu continues to come up and then go away then the menu button on the monitor is broken and the monitor would need to be replaced.
