Connect DVI-DL to my laptop

L1miter · Jul 23, 2014

is it possible to connect a DVI-DL to USB because I have a laptop that does not have DVI-DL my graphics card is a Nvidia Geforce GTX 660M or is there any other way to connect a DVI-DL to my laptop I have only 2xUSB 3.0 2xUSB 2.0 HDMI and a VGA so is it possible to connect the DVI-DL somehow ? Im trying to get 120Hz from my BenQ XL2420T monitor so is it possible any way ?

if you are wanting to get a signal out of the laptop and onto another screen, you can buy a dvid-dl to hdmi adapter. if you are trying to put a signal onto your laptop from another screen, you cant do that.

sorry I forgot to add I have the BenQ Xl2420T and is it possible to connect it somehow so I would get the 120Hz

connect the laptop to the external monitor to get an image on the external screen? yes, this is possible, all you need to do is get an adapter so you can plug the dvid-dl into the laptops hdmi port.

and will the 120Hz work ? because I have it connected through HDMI now and I can only get 60Hz max nothing higher

well, do you know what generation HDMI your laptop has?

Danbuscus25 :

no can you tell how to get that info ?

Danbuscus25 · Jul 23, 2014

whats the exact model of your laptop?

MSI GE60 0ND

well, i cant find any info on the version of hdmi it uses, but unless it is 1.4, it cannot do 120Hz @1080p. you can try lowering the resolution to get a higher refresh rate, but that would look much worse.

Danbuscus25 :

if Iower the resolution it I still can't set higher than 60Hz

Danbuscus25 · Jul 23, 2014

well then, i guess you're stuck with 60Hz :/

Danbuscus25 :

isn't it possible to connect a DVI-DL out to a USB and use it that way ?

Danbuscus25 · Jul 23, 2014

erm, idk about dvi, but i do know that you can with display port.

L1miter · Jul 23, 2014

Danbuscus25 :

well I know that to the problem is that I dont have a display port

Danbuscus25 · Jul 23, 2014

i think you will just have to settle with 60Hz, which shouldnt look much different anyways, especially with motionblur.

Danbuscus25 :

well I bought it for the 120Hz and one more question would the Nvidia 3D vision work ?
