I have an old 20" monitor model Flatron L2000CP that I want to connect to my T580 laptop. The monitor came with both VGA and DVI cables and the T580 "only" has HDMI. I therefore bought an HDMI to VGA adaptor and have established an HDMI to VGA connection to the monitor.
You really should use an HDMI to DVI converter. It's much cheaper because there is no format conversion. It's just a remapping of the pins. When you go to VGA, you're converting from a digital signal to an analog one.
The connection works and I can switch to all four connection types but one tiny but decisive problem makes the dual monitor unuseable: the display on the Flatron screen is not positioned correctly. It is shifted ½ an inch off the screen on the left side and on the right side there is likewise ½ an inch of unused area.
Most monitors have an auto-adjust function to resolve that. You also wouldn't have that problem with DVI.
