Hello I need to connect an external monitor to my laptop via USB. I know that the grommet will not work and I need a USB graphics card. I am asking for some suggestions? Something not expensive but it would not blur the picture. I have a busy PS D-Sub on my laptop.

Sensible cards have started to appear, but the question is whether you have usb c? Only on thunderbolt it has a chance to act. All other excellent inventions on the ordinary usb will not cope, it's a waste of time.

Affirmative. Let me know what kind of monitor, which laptop, and why you can not use video connectors on your laptop.

Old Asus A52 laptop. He has an ordinary usb. You can do it with ordinary USB by connecting a graphics card that has a d-sub on the other side. I saw such solutions in the offices just wonder how (they were not usb c). I already have a monitor on the video connector. I need another one. Standard monitor under d-sub.

External graphics cards on USB will not get anything except a static image. 9 Do you have HDMI next to Dsuba? If so, the Dsub adapter costs PLN 10.

Are you sure you saw it well? Some monitors have a built-in usb hub so that in this office Ms. Halinka does not have to dive with a pendrive under the desk I warn you that any connection of the monitor (snap, modules, etc.) by usb has no right to operate due to too weak parameters of the usb. At most, you can display some sort of immovable boards in this way, for example, a day at a lunch bar I do not know exactly what equipment you have and what is the use of all this, but you have not thought about something like Miracast?

@ krolik2 I will improve my colleague here. Currently, almost all mobile devices can send images over a USB-> HDMI cable. The receiver is not required to handle something more than usual. Here's the link: In order not to be misleading, he will mention that you only deal with tablets and smartphones. The laptop is neither one nor the other

This is the most common USB, with only the right hardware support. Author - what do you need this monitor for? If you do not care about the image delay, then we can connect with wireless transmission.

That's what I mean. Will it work?

Link, name, model? Read on the internet. If it is cheap, then you can buy and check. But again, I mark - this device will at most display a still image, rather than even play a movie.

Best answers

How can I connect an external monitor to an older laptop through a normal USB port without a blurry picture, using a cheap solution?

You generally cannot get a clear monitor connection from an ordinary USB port with a USB graphics card on an older laptop; the replies say plain USB is too weak for this and such adapters may only show a static image or poor results [#16504985][#16505525][#16505730] Only USB-C with Thunderbolt was suggested as a case where this kind of solution might have a chance [#16504985] If your laptop has another real video output, use that instead; one reply suggests that if HDMI is available next to D-Sub, a D-Sub adapter is the cheap fix, around PLN 10 [#16505507] Wireless display was mentioned as an option only if image delay is acceptable [#16505525][#16505665]
