Re: laptop screen

You can use desktop monitors on laptops but you cannot use laptop monitors on desktop.

Re: laptop screen

Laptop monitors are only made to hook up to the model of laptop they work with. It may be possible to rewire it to work with a desktop computer, but I have never heard of someone getting this to work.

If both computers are on the network, you can remote into the desktop from the laptop using remote desktop or VNC.
