Answer 1

Just figure out what connection your new monitor requires - either VGA or DVI. Make sure you're computer has the appropriate jack and plug 'er in.

If the new monitor is DVI and you only have VGA you can buy an adaptor

Answer 2

Power down your system, disconnect your current monitor from your video card (or video controller if its on your motherboard). Twist the screws so that they are not connected, pull out the monitor cord, connect the new connector to where you disconnected the old monitor. Install any monitor software if needed.

Answer 3

Unscrew the connector from the back... switch in the new monitor, your computer will most likely detect the change. Right click on your desktop select properties, settings, and adjust your screen resolution if necessary.

Answer 4

Memorize where everything goes from the previous monitor and hook it up like that with the new one.

Answer 5

Just unhook the plugs from your old monitor and re-plug them with the new monitor.

Answer 6

Unplug all of the cable and plug the new one in the same place and you are done.

Power and Video cable

Answer 7

just switch it out...if it tells you the resolution is wrong, put the old one back on, right click the desktop, and change the resolution to the highest and switch 'em out again...you wont have to install drivers or change anything else....

Answer 8

Unplug the old one, plug in the new one. Shouldn't be a problem.
