Connecting ASUS VS239 LCD Monitor to my HP Probook laptop. What HDMI cable will work for connecting these two items
I purchased the Insignia153 HDMI cable thinking one end would fit the monitor and the other would fit in a USB port on my laptop but both ends were the same and I did not have a matching port on my laptop to connect using this cable.
More than likely you do not have a HDMI output on your laptop, if you could provide the exact model of the Probook it would be more useful as it could be researched to give you a more definitive answer, but it sounds like you don't have the capabilities of HDMI output so you may need to buy a HDMI to VGA cable instead. The one I recommended below is just an example, if you used this you would most likely need a HDMI coupler as well as the cord is obviously pretty short.
