Wrong forum, answer is yes. Your laptop most likely has DVI out or DE15 (VGA).

it really sucks using two dissimilar monitors. i tried a 22 normal and a 20 wide and ended up pitching the 20 wide for another identical to my 22. laptop monitor will surely drive u nuts.

CTH would be the correct forum. Under Other Topics.

If you mean can you hook up your laptop to your desktop and use the screen on the laptop as a second monitor for your desktop, then no you can't. You may be able to get a software solution that can do this over a network, but I don't know if it would be a workable solution for you.
