U3415W, connecting to VGA only laptop
Hello,
I just purchased the U3415W. I am not able to connect my VGA only laptop to the U3415W. I got the adapter from Fry's Electronics. Can you please help? The U3415W connects to my Mac laptop through Thunderbolt, but it does not connect to my Windows laptop via VGA.

* What specific Laptop model?
* What specific adapter did you purchase?
* A laptop VGA out port even with a converter to HDMI will not be able to do the U3415W maximum resolution of 3440x1440 60Hz. All you will get is 1920x1080 60Hz.
The U3415W has the following video in ports = #2 HDMI(MHL)/ #3 HDMI/ #4 Display Port/ #5 mini Display Port (See the User's Guide page 10)
Laptop VGA out port --> VGA to HDMI converter --> U3415W HDMI to HDMI cable --> U3415W #3 HDMI in port
