Can a BENQ monitor be connected to a macbook pro laptop as well?

Can a BENQ monitor be connected to a macbook pro laptop as well?
Thanks to someone, they told me Yes, if you buy the right adapter. The miniDisplayPorts or miniDVI ports on iMacs, Macbooks and Mac Minis will work with any VGA or DVI monitor, as long as you have the right adapter. MY Next question is i have a macbook pro laptop and what is the best adaptor to get , and what is it called? also what adaptor do i need to connect the BENQ and AOC or NOC (not sure wat it is ) monitor together so i am able to use both monitors at the same time :) and when i do connect the adaptor how do i set it up so both screens interact at the same time?

The current Macbook Pros (early 2009 till now) have a miniDisplayPort. For monitors that have a DVI port, you need a miniDisplayPort-to-DVI adapter: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTA4NDU0ODY and a standard digital DVI monitor cable. For monitors (and HDTVs) that have an HDMI port, you need a miniDisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable: http://www.amazon.com/Value-Pack-DisplayPort-Displayport-interface/dp/B0021YG5FM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=pc&qid=1265688736&sr=1-1 For monitors that only have the old analog VGA port, you need a miniDisplayPort-to-VGA adapter and a standard VGA monitor cable: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTA4NDU0NjA You should use a digital connection (DVI or HDMI) whenever possible. Macs work best with digital connections. Just hook up your Macbook Pro to whatever monitor you are getting with the appropriate adapter and cable, and your Macbook Pro should automatically detect the monitor.
