Looking for Answers about samsung 24.6" Touch of Color Widescreen LCD Monitor?

I believe VGA and RGB are referred to as the same. If your manual also refers to it as a DB-15 or D-Sub it is. Look at the RGB end of the cable (the smaller (and or) blue end) and see if it is similar to the laptops.

Did you try the DVI-A (monitor end) to RGB cable (computer end) included with the monitor? You have two cables with the monitor, one DVI-I to DVI-I cable and a DVI-A to RGB cable.
The DVI-A end is used for the RGB type connections as the other pins are only needed on a digital system.

The DVI connectors are different so you have to know which ones you have as a DVI-I male connector won't mate with a DVI-D because -I- has more pins. But a -D- male will mate to a female -I-. Yeah I'm having a hard time keeping up also.

This monitor has a DVI--I female connection so you would need a DVI--I or DVI-A male cable or adapter end for the monitor and a RGB male cable or adapter end for the laptop. You might also find an HDMI to RGB cable or adapter also but I would try the DVI-I to RGB first.

You might try going to Samsung's support area again (or your laptops company's) and put in a "ticket" to ask them directly for a faster more accurate answer. I think this is just a public type forum. You might also try a local PC repair shop and they should know also (take the laptop in with you).

My head hurts, hope this helps.....

yes, you can get a VGA-->DVI adapter.

Get a movable mount or raise it off the desk or raise your working position...
