Answer:
Look at your laptop. If it has a socket (often blue) with 3 rows of pins, you can plug a monitor there, no special cable required.

Option 1: VGA Cable Mostly likely, your laptop has a VGA port. You can go to Best Buy or Radio Shack and purchase a VGA cable for around $20 - this will allow you to hook up your laptop to a computer monitor. Option 2: S-Video Cable Some laptops also have an S-Video port. Again, for about $20, you can buy an S-Video cable, and hook up your laptop to a television that has an S-Video input. I wouldn't really recommend this, as a normal definition television will look really blurry. Your best bet is to bring your laptop with you to the store, and ask somebody in the computer department to check to see if you have a VGA port, and to help you find a VGA cable.

no, a regular computer screen can be connected to any laptop. it's attached to the monitor. unplug a desktop monitor and plug it into your laptop
