How Do You Connect an External Monitor to a Laptop?
At TUTT, we often hear the same concern: “How do I connect an external monitor to my laptop?” It might seem complicated—but it’s actually very simple. All you need is to understand the type of ports your laptop supports. Once you know what connection your device offers, choosing the right portable monitor becomes effortless.
Start by identifying what kind of output ports your laptop has. This includes USB-C, Thunderbolt, HDMI, or even older USB-A. Just read the breakdown below to match your laptop's port to the correct monitor input—and you’re ready to connect.
Common Video Output Ports on Laptops
- • USB-C (Full-Featured): Found on newer laptops and MacBooks. Look for a lightning bolt (⚡) or "DP" icon. Supports video, power, and data in one cable.
- • Thunderbolt 3 / 4: High-speed USB-C standard marked with a lightning bolt. Common in high-end models like MacBook Pro, Dell XPS, and Lenovo ThinkPad. Supports dual 4K monitors and fast data.
- • HDMI: Standard in most Windows laptops. Connects easily to TVs, monitors, and projectors without adapters.
- • USB-A: Older rectangular port. Cannot transmit video unless paired with a USB-to-HDMI adapter or dock.
If you want to explore more technical visuals, this Wikipedia article on USB-C gives a solid explanation of USB-C port types and video capabilities. Also, check out HP’s visual port guide to better recognize the shape and label of each port.
Once you’ve identified your port, you can confidently choose a compatible portable monitor from our collection. We recommend USB-C monitors for plug-and-play setups, and HDMI-compatible models for legacy devices.

How to Connect an External Monitor to a Laptop Without HDMI
Many modern laptops, including Apple’s M1, M2, and M3 MacBooks, as well as several ultrabooks and compact devices, no longer include an HDMI port. In addition, older laptops may only offer USB-A ports, and many newer models come with USB-C ports that are not full-featured—meaning they don't support video output.
That’s where the TUTT H5 Cable comes in. Designed to solve this exact problem, H5 is a proprietary 2-in-1 converter cable that transforms a regular USB-A or non-video USB-C port into an HDMI-compatible video output. This allows users to connect portable monitors—even when the laptop lacks native video-out functionality.
It’s not just an adapter—it’s a video transmission enabler. With support for high-definition data conversion and optimized signal stability, the H5 Cable empowers devices that were previously incompatible with external displays to seamlessly connect and extend their screen using HDMI-based portable monitors.
TUTT H5 – Key Features & Capabilities
- • Converts USB-A or regular USB-C (non-video) to HDMI signal
- • Enables screen extension for laptops without HDMI ports
- • Compatible with Apple M1/M2/M3 MacBooks, Chromebooks, and legacy laptops
- • Plug-and-play, no driver installation required
- • Designed exclusively for TUTT portable monitors including S1, S2, F2, and more
