Hi benitafromthechannon,


What kind of input does the LED monitor have? Does it have HDMI in? Or DVI in?


I'd only use the VGA adapter if it has a VGA in and no other inputs.


I'm assuming you'll be using the mini-displayport/thunderbolt port to plug your MacBook Pro into the monitor unless it has HDMI out or you already have a displayport/thunderbolt to DVI adapter?
