- Different generations of Apple laptops use different video connection ports.
- The MacBook Pro used in this tutorial has a DVI (Digital Video Interface) adapter.
- This port will also accept a VGA (Video Graphics Array) connection with an adapter.
- In order to do this you'll have to have a VGA to DVI adapter available at Apple stores.
- Just connect the cable from the monitor to the port on your MacBook or MacBook Pro.
- Once connected the rest is primarily adjusting your settings and getting used to using two monitors.
