Solved! Where's the vga input on this monitor????

[Dave Guy]

I'm trying to plug in this Toshiba laptop to this Samsung monitor.

It would appear that the only cable that would match an output on the laptop with an input on the monitor is "analog rgb", which I believe means vga. The problem is that I don't see any vga input on the monitor? Have I lost my mind or are the specs wrong!?

Here's a picture of the back of the monitor.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Looking at pictures of the monitor on newegg, it only has DVI and HDMI. Amazon's specs are wrong. However, you can just purchase a VGA to DVI adapter for only a few bucks and it will work.

Ok, thanks for the fast reply. I'll order a cable...

Most likely it means the P2570 supports DVI-Analog. That means you can use a cheap VGA to DVI-A adapter instead of a more expensive analog to digital converter.
