1) How do I connect a Dell monitor with DVI-D to ... X1 Carbon Thinkpad?

I connected the monitor to the laptop via USB.

When I turned the monitor on, it said "No VGA connection."

There are both VGA and DVI-D ports on the monitor.

There are no VGA or DVI-D ports on the laptop.

My understanding is that DVI-D is better video, so that would be my first choice if possible.

2) Do I need to do something additional to get audio from the monitor?

THANK YOU!

1) the laptop has hdmi and a mini display port so simple get an adapter(hdmi to dvi or mini displayport to dvi).
2) I would need to know the model of the monitor.

The monitor has no speakers so you won't be able to get audio from it.
