Large external displays typically need to be connected through a DisplayPort input. DisplayPort is a larger type of port in your computer, and it's not very typical that laptops have this input today. This is because the computers have become so narrow and simple that there is no room at all for such a large entrance. That's why versions like Mini DisplayPort are being developed to adapt to today's thin trends! If you have older equipment, you must use adapters like this to still be able to use them.

The Mini DisplayPort for DisplayPort adapter supports up to a 24-inch display resolution, 1920x1200px at 60Hz. Sandberg Mini DisplayPort for DisplayPort cable instead of this Mini DisplayPort for DisplayPort adapter.

If your computer has a Thunderbolt input, this adapter works the same way, as the Mini DisplayPort is built into the newer Thunderbolt ports.
