How do I connect my laptop to another monitor?

I bought a monitor a few days ago. The HDMI cable doesn't fit. I then bought a box that the HDMI cable fits into, and the screen says "No signal the whole time." Does anyone know what to do with this?

The HDMI cable, doesn’t fit.

Where does that not fit? There is an HDMI connection on the notebook.

And if you buy a USB docking station that also provides HDMI outputs, then the monitor should also have at least one HDMI input.

If the monitor doesn’t have an HDMI, the docking station will take you a bit.

Give me the exact name of the laptop and the box.

Addendum: if the monitor has multiple inputs, you may need to switch to the input you use via the monitor menu. I’d test it first.

On the left side, the second socket from the front is an HDMI port. With a standard HDMI cable you can connect the laptop to your screen without the docking station. If that doesn’t fit, you have a wrong cable.

Attention, HDMI is available in several Types of construction and Display port looks similar but does not fit as it is a different interface. But there are adapter cables.

The docking station makes work only more convenient, only the fixed USB cable is connected to the laptop. But you need one separate Power supply. If you want to connect multiple monitors, it only goes through such a docking station. Whether it is compatible with your laptop is not safe. Only Dell XPS, Lenovo, HP, Surface

PS: The CPU is not very powerful and the SSD is really very, very small.

Have you ever tried to change the source? So you checked again that the monitor really runs over the docking station?
