how do you connect the monitor to the laptop null

You can use an HDMI or VGA cable. It has two HDMI ports and comes with one 5 foot HDMI cable in the box.

Depends on the laptop. My preference for my device is a USB-C to HDMI adapter. You can also use the same type of adapter with USB-A instead of C. An older laptop may have an HDMI port or VGA port. You can use these as well.

Your laptop should have an HDMI output. It may be required that you need an adapter as some laptops have only the mini HDMI port. If your laptop is older and has a VGA output than you will need to purchase a VGA cable.

Hello. This monitor has two HDMI connection ports on the back. All newer laptops have an HDMI connection port built in. An HDMI cable, which this monitor comes with, would be the best choice to connect this HP 27" monitor to a modern laptop.

Depends on the laptop. If the laptop has a VGA or HDMI port, you can directly connect. For other laptops, you need to get an adapter. For my MacBook Pro, I have a USB C to HDMI adapter and it works great.

Connect an HDMI cord from the monitor to an HDMI port on your laptop if you have one. If you only have a DP (display port) then you'll need to get a DP to HDMI adapter which is available online.

Some Windows laptops have a regular HDMI port like you might find on a TV. If that's the case, you can use the included HDMI cable to connect your laptop to this monitor. If your computer has an older VGA port, you would need to buy an inexpensive VGA cable to connect to the monitor. If your laptop doesn't have an HDMI or VGA port, then you'll likely need an adapter. You could call/chat/email your computer's manufacturer and ask what you would need to connect your laptop to an HDMI monitor.

If your laptop has an HDMI OUT port, that would work. Many laptops have this. A VGA output would work too but that is less likely to be found on most modern laptops.
