Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question.

I mostly use a laptop but want to plug my larger monitor into it. The monitor has the usual connector (blue) but the laptop does not have a space for this. I know you can get an adaptor that will take the monitor cable and fit it into a "hole" in the laptop which looks something like this:

(three rows of eight square holes plus a bit slightly to the side that has two square holes top and bottom with a flat straight hole between them.)

If anyone has any idea what I am talking about and knows what the adaptor would be called I would be very grateful
 
Does it look like this:

If so, it's a DVI (probably DVI-I) output. You can find DVI-I cables that have a DVI connector on one end and D-Sub (that's probably the blue connector you mentioned) on the other end. Or you could try using an adapter instead.
 
I'm with Slapo on this one. :agree:
 
post the laptop make and model and we can quickly tell you what connector it has and what you will need.
