Welcome.

Your VGC-LA1 has no video outputs, so there is no way of connecting directly to a monitor.

There are USB to VGA/DVI/HDMI boxes now available.  I have not tried one so I do not know what quality will be like.

Google for "USB VGA Card" and you will find many more.

The internal graphics should handle the existing screen.

I have not tried the one in the link - make sure you get the one that fits your needs best.  There are lots on Amazon: -
