Hello, so I just bought a Asus vg24v and I have a pc that doesn't have a display port only HDMI, can I use it without a display port or what should I do?
Hi Eyguy! Be sure to get the right cable, usually around $20.00, because your are converting from hdmi to display port. If memory serves me, I think you'll need a cable with a small convertor box built into the cable. Did the monitor come with a manual? The manual should have a section on that stuff, or look for the manual online, search for "my-monitor-name.pdf." I think you might need something like this.

Ive looked all over internet and tried several things but I think what fixed it for me was “joggling and pushing the cable in enough.” Lol so simple. Thanks!
Back in the 1990's I taught music for eight years in my own shop. I ending up setting up a midsize recording studio, lots of used gear (this was pre-ebay days, I bought used gear through magazines ads). I remember one time I could not get any sound out of the set up. I finally called a tech at a huge company, I don't remember which one (this was pre-UA-cam days). I had him on the phone, he was walking me through stuff to check, telling things to check...he had me checking the electrical plugs first. I was about age 30, I still remember saying to him like it was yesterday, "What's this do!" He calmly said, "We're checking to make sure everything is plugged in good." I said, "oh..." FYI: I had two small mixing boards. Come to find out, a mixing board I set up and forgot about years previous, for some reason I had turned all the volumes down...thirty years later, I'm still telling that story.
@@sylvainh2o Whatever plugs are on your monitor and pc...that's what you use. If both have dp, use dp. Try it and sees if it works...I don't think you can fry anything. If both have hdmi, use hdmi. If one has dp and one has hdmi, find a cable on ebay or amazon (about $10.00 or so) that has a dp on one end and an hdmi on the other. I think...going from lower quality hdmi pc to higher quality dp monitor, you might need a convertor cable. A convertor cable has a dp on one end and an hdmi on the other, and also has a little black box (maybe one inch by two inch box) on the cable to do the conversion from hdmi to dp.
I agree with the hostage comment and see that that the wall texture may also be a factor for the angst and yes I do enjoy the explanation too. Thank you!
I would not recommend wiggling the cable when it is plugged in as you will eventually pull trace pads from the PCB. if you are having issues with the cable, simply dip the HDMI cable end into some IPS, (or Isopropyl ) and use an old tooth brush and scrub the cable end, as well as the female socket on your PC, monitor or TV etc. it won't short anything as it is a dielectric. Wiggling the cable like in this video can break the pin connections (traces) and you will then have a bigger problem. Cheers! and Good Luck!
@@JimVincitore Not a rumour, check out a UA-cam channel called TheCod3r, he has repaired dozens of HDMI ports. mostly on gaming consoles, but the principal is the same. I also had this happen to a video card, one was a HDMI and the other was a Display Port.
Thanks for this video. I just ordered a monitor and computer and was here wondering why the HDMI cord that comes with the monitor did not fit the CPU. Why? I needed a display port and HDMI cord. Like the one you showed. Thanks again!
Yes, for sure! But some newer cables are only one way. Try it and see if it works, can't hurt nothing. Most laptops are hdmi output to an external dp monitor.
The proscan flatscreen, is that a TV? If yes, on the TV monitor, use the remote that came with the TV to select the input. Like, if you plugged the pc into "hdmi 1" on the back of the TV, on the TV you must select "hdmi 1" as the input. Use the remote to turn on the TV, and quickly press the ENTER key on the keyboard to wake up the pc. Here, eventhough you are using the TV as a monitor, you must still select the input. I deal with that daily...I am using Amazon Fire TV as monitor. They work great as monitors, but a real pain to wake up everytime the pc goes to sleep.
Hi Sway! I'm no expert on the topic. I did look it up on the web, and found comments that said "driving a DisplayPort monitor from a DVI or HDMI video card output, doesn't appear to be supported." That being said, there are different versions of HDMI, one of the newer versions might work. If I were you, I'd get a video card with a display port output plug to take full advantage of your monitors quality. Especially if you want to game at 144hz, I think you need display ports on both ends. Check out the comments below. An adapter might work, but you'll lose quality because the hdmi is not a good as the display port. I've been messing with computers since 1995, new technology is always a pain when it first comes out. Let us know your results. Jim
From the web: HDMI devices are manufactured to adhere to various versions of the specification, in which each version is given a number or letter, such as 1.0, 1.2, or 1.4b. Each subsequent version of the specification uses the same kind of cable but increases the bandwidth or capabilities of what can be transmitted over the cable.
Thank you so much Sir, I have a hard time to get HDMI into the Port, with your clip I know the different, that why I can't put the cable in. Thank you so much.
hello . i have an hp laptop and it has a display port. I try to connect laptop to a TV via a dp to hdmi cable. but i can not get the display from TV . no signal occurs. What is the problem ? do i need driver for this in my lp. can you help at this point?
Hi Furkan! FIRST. On the TV INPUT, make sure it is "from pc." There is an INPUT BUTTON THE THE TV REMOTE. Push the input button on the remote, you should get a list of different inputs. Here, TV input can be, hdmi 1, hdmi 2, hdmi 3, composite cables from a vcr, dvd player, etc etc. Second. Video from a laptop to tv should work easily. I think on laptops, the external out dp works without any additional configuration inside Windows. Third. Cheap cables rarely work these days. Be sure to get the right cable, usually around $20.00, because your are converting from display port to hdmi. Some cable are one way only. Also, dp and hdmi have version numbers, check the version of the cable. Not like the old days anymore when any ol' cable will work... try to find a cable with a small convertor box built into the cable. Did the TV come with a manual? The manual should have a section on that stuff, or look for the manual online, search for "my-monitor-name.pdf." I think you might need something like this. DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Adapter-Uni-Directional-Converter-Support/dp/B0B2933L7T/ 【DP 1.4a to HDMI 2.1 Adapter】 This DP 1.4a to HDMI 2.1 converter (Male to Female) only one-way from Displayport on Desktop/Laptop/Graphics Card to an HDTV/monitor/projector with HDMI for audio and video streaming or gaming. Note: An additional HDMI cable (sold separately) is required. I think on laptops, the external out dp works without any additional configuration inside Windows. But check the settings in Windows. Right click on desktop > choose Display Settings. At the botton, click the DETECT BUTTON. Also, at the bottom of the Display Settings pop up, at the botton, click ADVANCED SETTINGS. aT THE TOP IN CHOOSE DISPLAY, SEE IF THE tv SHOWS UP IN THE DROP DOWN.

Try this too. Make sure you press the enter key many times on the laptop when you select input on the tv remote. If you don't hit it just right, it won't recognize it. You got to keep the pc awake to connect to tv. I deal with that 50 times per day...I use Amazon TV's as monitors and they constantly go black on me.
Yes. One cord, hdi one end, dp on other end. Some have a small black box on the cable to help converting hdmi to dp. Try a straight cable, if that don't work, get the one with the black box.
I think I've seen some that plug into usb for power too. But I'm not sure.

Hi Justin! Great question! Usually yes. But some of the new cables are one way only. Try it and see if it will work. You can't hurt nothing. Amazon Basic cables seem ok, these days I get most of my cables at Home Depot, great quality, good price...and I know some person didn't just make the cable in their basement. But if you find the right person, they might be making high quality cables. Jim
I'm pretty sure it's all automatic, just plug in an hdmi cable and the video and sound goes through the hdmi cable to the monitor. USB works the same, plug in a usb device into your computer, printer, camera, etc...and the operating system knows how to route the signal. I struggled with the concept too...it's all magic behind the scenes.
Hi MUHAMMAD! Be sure to get the right cable, usually around $20.00, because your are converting from hdmi to display port.

Old cables send signals both ways. And I read a few years back that Windows 10 does not always work with dp's. I hope they got that fixed by now, dp's have been ten years or more. Feel free to write back and let us know how you got it working! Jim
If the monitor is a TV, you got to make sure the computer is actively running (press the ENTER KEY A FEW TIMES) when you turn on the monitor or the monitor will display "no input." Got to time it just right to get a display. I use Amazon TV's as monitors and fight with this 20 times a day!
@@JimVincitore dayum thank you so much Ill look forward to your suggestion, I really hope it'll help me getting 144hz, now I just got 120hz ahaha btw thanks again
Thanks for the review. I just bought a Dell (2022) and connected with the HDMI cord (both ends are HDMI) to my HP EliteDesk 800 GI SFF computer I bought refurbished and I would say it's about 8 years old. Have you seen this message flash on your screen?: Not connected to HDMI. Should I be worried about this message? It comes on every time I turn on my computer. I'm thinking it isn't a problem or the guy at the computer store wouldn't have sold me DisplayPort to HDMI converter cable. Thoughts or suggestions?
Hello, don’t know if you remember me I was the guy who has the Alienware monitor and I’m trying to get it to go 240hz and I have done some research but was wondering if you could give me a link to a HDMI 2.0 cable that does 240hz as I don’t know really where to look. Thanks so much I would appreciate it so much if you could.
Try calling Microcenter. It is a nationwide computer store. I have shopped there for 30 years. Their salespeople are always tech knowledgeable. Every store also has a tech repair shop. Try to talk with someone so you get the correct cable.

I see what you mean by being hard to find!... On Amazon search for "hdmi 240 hz" and the cables popped right up. It took me a while to figure it out too, duh! GREAT QUESTIONS! COOL STUFF!
I bought a used omen monitor to match my other Omen monitor so I'll have a dual display. I couldn't get the second monitor to work. I did use the HDMI on the back of the monitor to the DisplayPort.. Never dawned on me to unplug it and turn off the computer and rehook it up. I tried adding it to the computer while I was already using the computer and Photoshop.
So my issue is my computer has an HDMI port and my monitor has a display port. So far the monitor is not showing anything and keeps going into power saving mode.
A convertor cable might work. There is a link in the description box. Read through some of the comments below, there are many link to different types of cable. Be sure to install the drivers on the cd that came with the monitor...hook up an old monitor to see the cd. I just thought of something...Try starting the pc in SAFE MODE, start the computer, then hold down the F8 key (I think it's F8 function key (top row of your keyboard), and your pc might be different)...see if you get a screen. Safe mode usually takes a minute or two to boot up.

I have an hp Z620 workstation that i'm trying to connect to a proscan flatscreen. I have an adapter i plugged into the graphics port to plug an hdmi into, with the other end going into the proscan hdmi. There's also a wifi stick plugged into the front of the desktop, and the tv source is on hdmi. The friend i bought the desktop from said that is how it's done, but i see 'no signal' on the tv screen (no matter what source i put it on). Last night i tried to connect the hdmi to my vizio instead and put that on hdmi. 'No signal', again. This morning i wiggled the adapter to make sure it was good and still, 'no signal'. My friend is coming next weekend to see what's up. Any suggestions on what i might be missing, before then?
The proscan flatscreen, is that a TV? If yes, on the TV monitor, use the remote that came with the TV to select the input.

Sometimes it takes me a couple minutes to turn on the monitor and wake up the pc just at the right time so I get the pc desktop...it's a real pain.
@@JimVincitore Yes, the proscan is a tv and i had it on hdmi, of course. I did not know about the keyboard part. I will try it later on tonight and let you know what happened. Thank you.
The proscan Tv is plugged into house electricity right? And the hdmi cable plugged in the tv "hdmi 1 input?" Sounds like an expensive tv, there might be different hdmi inputs and outputs. Does it work as a normal TV? Might have been damaged in shipping. I have heard of CPU's popping out in shipping. Try the pc with an old monitor if you can. Some adapters are one way signal (not bi-directional)...is it the correct adapter? The adapter might need power from the usb or wall outlet.
Hi Sullee! The Blue plug I think you are describing is the old fashioned "D PLUG." I think it is also called "vga plug, vga port." Port is just a fancy word for plug. Those still work great and are very reliable. I think you are saying the D Plug cable is permanently connected to your monitor, that is common. On the computer side, your older PC might already have a D plug connection port built in, all older pc's do. I still use D plugs whenever possible, they are fast and easy and always work. If not, you can get a convertor cable to connect the D plug to an hdmi or display port on the pc. Or you could install a pci card in your computer to connect the D plug cable. I'd look for a convertor cable first and see if that works, before installing a pci card. Good enough PCI cards are about $20.00, but some are real expensive, hundreds. ===================== HDMI to VGA amzn.to/3FTz407 The compact-designed portable Benfei HDMI to VGA adapter connects a computer, desktop, laptop, or other devices with HDMI port to a monitor, projector, HDTV, or other devices with VGA port; Double check the male/female connections on the cable before you buy.

Your wiggling doesn't look very healthy for the connector. An HDMI connector is sometimes only soldered to the main board (no screws) in your devices. Wiggling it around like this can make it break from the main board and it is not recommended to do like this. You should only push it straight in, but hard!
hello, so i have got an Asus Tuf F15 gaming laptop the 17inch one and i have just got an alienware AW2721D monitor thats refresh rate is 240hz whilst my laptop screen is 144hz and to get the full capacity of 240hz you need to use a display port and my computor only has hdmi so i bought a dp to hdmi cord and connected it and made sure it was tight not wiggling like you said in the video and it just wouldnt work and then ui used a normal hdmi on both ends and it worked but only gave me the 120hz so i was wondering if you could let me know what cord i need to buy inorder to get 240hz and very minimal latency like really low. This would be heavily appreciated. Sorry for the longmessage hope it makes sense Aidan
Hi Aiden! I'm no genius when it comes to the hertz stuff. I never studied it. First, See if you can find the hertz version on your hdmi cables and plugs, yes there is a version number. Then get a good quality cable, $20.00 or so. These days Home Depot is my first place for cables, quality cables, great price. Get the correct version number of hdmi too. I'm not sure if cheap cables will do the high power hertz you are talking about. In the old days, any old cable did the job, these days -- that's not always true. Second, right click on desktop, scroll down to "display settings." On the pop up, at the bottom, click "advanced settings." At the bottom of advanced pop up, there is a place to change the hertz, see if 240 shows up in the drop down. Third, if the monitor came with a cd, install the software (driver for the monitor) on the cd into your laptop...usually a "painless install," just a couple clicks and it does what's supposed to. Then try the display setting again. If no cd, download the driver from the monitor companies website...that will be the most current version too.
HDMI 240HZ Monitor Compatibility: A Complete Guide To Making It Work www.onecomputerguy.com/hdmi-240hz Can You Run 240Hz on HDMI? Yes; you can use your 240 Hz refresh rate monitor using specific HDMI cables, for instance, HDMI 2.1, HDMI 2.0a, and HDMI 2.0. These cables are compatible with 1080p and 1440p but on an 8-bit monitor.
@@JimVincitore thankyou so much will do but do i buy a dp to hdmi cable or try and get a good quality hdmi cable as my monitor doesnt link with hdmi 2.1
So can you use any hdmi cord without a vga cable? Or does it have to be like a pc hdmi cord? Jw I tried a regular spare hdmi cord I had for my tv and nothing pops up. When I plug in my vga than my display pops up.
Great question. If you use an hdmi, you do not need the vga...I'm pretty sure. I don't use the vga, it works fine. There are a few versions of hdmi, v1, v2, v3, etc. And some cables the data only flow one way. Your guess is as good as mine, I'm not a hardware tech. But ya know, now that you mention it, I have a sff pc that I can not get a signal from, it might just be the cheap hdmi cable. Cheap hdmi's off the web you never know what you are getting. Home Depot used to sell Belkin cables.
Would it work with display port end in the monitor and hdmi end in the PC? One of my monitors only had display port support and I'm having a hard time finding a double ended display port cable lately

Hi Calvin! I'm not sure of your question. Check your computer and monitor manuals first, that's always the best place to start. You can probably find them online too. Turn both computer and monitor off. Unplug the current monitor video cables, such as vga or hdmi cables. Double check that both computer and monitor have display ports, they look real similar to hdmi plugs. Plug in the display port cable into both computer and monitor, don't force the plug in, push in lightly. Then turn computer and monitor back on, and hope everything works, called plug and play, or plug and prey! Display port carries both video and audio, so you might not need the audio cable if you have one plugged into your monitor. Feel free to write back. Jim
What if you did it the other way around? I have a desktop that don't have a displayport, so I would then use a cable like that but with the hdmi from the PC and the Displayport into the monitor, do you know if that would work?
I just had mine, I ordered the same thing and never knew anything about input/output. It didn't work because the HDMI should be plugged in the monitor and the displayport in the laptop. Sad to say, my monitor is old and doesn't have hdmi at the same time, my laptop is newer and doesn't have displayport, only hdmi. I find it hard to look for an adapter for both ends from where I live. I think I have to buy a newer monitor, I guess. Huhu...
DID THE MONITOR COME WITH A CD? THAT'S THE DRIVER FOR YOUR MONITOR. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE DRIVERS FROM THE MONITOR COMPANY WEBSITE TOO. LOAD THE DRIVER ONTO YOUR COMPUTER, IT'S EASY, JUST CLICK YES A COUPLE TIMES AND YOUR DONE. REBOOT TOO. GET A GOOD QUALITY CABLE TOO. I USUALLY GO THE HOME DEPOT FOR CABLES THESE DAYS. SOME CABLES ARE ONLY ONE WAY, INFO ONLY TRAVELS ONE WAY. THE OLD DAYS OF ANY-O-CABLE WILL WORK ARE LONG GONE.
Hello, i'm having a lot of trouble with my computer/monitor. I just bought a new computer (Thermaltake.). The graphic card has three DisPlay ports, and one HDMI. My monitor (LG) has one DisPlay port, one HDMI and one VGA port. I think I almost tried everything i can find online, and almost ready to try to return it. Everytime i try something (Like your video) it always show up with "Checking signal..." and then after awhile it says "No signal" Everything i have is new... And cost me alot... I really just my computer to work. If you have any ideas or other tips, please help me.
Yep, dp's are a real pain. I'd start with wiggling the dp cable on both ends and pushing it in, lots of people do that and it fixers their problem. Second, hook up an old monitor and update Windows 10 (I've read Windows 10 does not play nice with dp's) and see if that gets it working. Next, go to your device manager and make sure all the monitors drivers are deleted. Then install the driver that came with your monitor off the cd or company webpage. Make sure you delete the ones not being used...in the old days (1990's), the old monitor drivers would not be automatically deleted and cause weird monitor screen flicker, and the only way to see the old driver still in there was to reboot into SAFE MODE, then delete it. Consider bringing the stuff back to the store, sometimes you only get 15 days to return electronics.
@@JimVincitore thank you for your quick reply. But I end up opening the computer because one of the fans wasn't working and found out one of the plugs was out. After fixing that, the fan starting working again, i found another plug that also seems not to connect to anything, so today I was going to try to with that. I will update on how that goes, and if it doesn't work, I'm thinking on taking it up best buy and see if they can fix it
Well... Update, I have already tried using a old monitor and all it says that the VGA not detected. I really don't know what to do from here, I have tried everything I can think of. And now thinking just to return it, and hope I can get my money back. If you have any other ideas, I would love to at least try, but besides that, thank you for trying to help. it truly means a lot
I forgot to point out that my old monitor has VGA and DVI. Which i have tired both, and have tried both DP and HDMI on the computer. If that may cause any problems with the old monitor
@@JimVincitore I already bought a cable, before that I had an HDMI to dp adapter and it wasn't detecting any signal, but now I have a cable just like yours
@@JimVincitore my monitor doesn't have an hdmi spot to plug it in it just has this cord with a blue square with holes basically at the end that connects to the monitor and pc what do I do?
Hi Sullee! The Blue plug I think you are describing is the old fashioned "D PLUG." I think it is also called "vga plug, vga port." Port is just a fancy word for plug. Those still work great and are very reliable. I think you are saying the D Plug cable is permanently connected to your monitor, that is common. On the computer side, your older PC might already have a D plug connection port built in, all older pc's do. I still use D plugs whenever possible, they are fast and easy and always work. If not, you can get a convertor cable to connect the D plug to an hdmi or display port on the pc. Or you could install a pci card in your computer to connect the D plug cable. I'd look for a convertor cable first and see if that works, before installing a pci card. Good enough PCI cards are about $20.00, but some are real expensive, hundreds. ===================== HDMI to VGA amzn.to/3FTz407 The compact-designed portable Benfei HDMI to VGA adapter connects a computer, desktop, laptop, or other devices with HDMI port to a monitor, projector, HDTV, or other devices with VGA port; Double check the male/female connections on the cable before you buy.

HI CARLO! I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR TYPE OF SETUP SO I CAN'T MESS WITH IT, BUT TRY THIS...REBOOT YOUR LAPTOP WHILE THE MONITOR IS PLUGGED IN. IF IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY SET ITSELF UP, IF YOU ARE ON WINDOWS 10, RIGHT CLICK DESKTOP, CHOOSE DISPLAY PROPERTIES. CLICK DETECT.

LAST I READ WINDOWS 10 DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK NICELY WITH DISPLAY PORTS. Did your monitor come with a cd, THERE IS A driver for monitor on the cd. Install it on your pc. Might be able to get the driver from their website. that's what I'd try first. DON'T LET THE WORD DRIVER SCARE YA, JUST CLICK IT TO INSTALL IT, TAKES TWO SECONDS.
i have a dumb question does it matter where you put the adapter end in the pc or in the monitor ? for example i have a displayport on my monitor but i have HDMI on my graphics card does it work if i out the converter in the monitors end or do i should i only put it in the graphics card end ? sorry it's a bit confusing cause i was told by a tech guy believe or not that i have to only use it on the graphics end not the monitor.
New technology is always a pain. When Windows 10 came out, a lot of old printers and scanners would not work, even with new drivers. From what I've read online, for a monitor with a display port, the computer also needs a display port. I'd get a new video card, there are video cards with display ports, $50.00 on up on Amazon. For your set up, there might be an adapter sold online, but you might lose quality going HDMI to Display Port(there are different versions of HDMI, 1, 2, 3).
I have been trying, and I can't get any video and the hdmi of my pc es broken, so I saw it had a DP port, and my monitor had a hdmi port So bought a cable and I am not getting any video :(

The DP port to monitor hdmi port should work though, probably a software thing. Your OS not sending video out your display port. From what I've read, Windows 10 has problems with DP's.
Depends on what your computer has. If both monitor and computer box both have DP, then use DP on both. DP on both ends is best quality. If your monitor has a hdmi plug, then you'll need a cable that converts DP to hdmi. HDMI is high quality, but DP is better.
Hi ILY! Be sure to get the right cable, usually around $20.00, because your are converting from hdmi to display port. If memory serves me, I think you'll need a cable with a small convertor box built into the cable, converts hdmi computer to better quality display port monitor. Did the monitor come with a manual? The manual should have a section on that stuff, or look for the manual online, search for "my-monitor-name.pdf." I think you might need something like this.

Hey! Can I have some help? I got a new computer monitor yesterday but my computer doesn’t have a display port but my monitor does, however I thought if I used a hdmi from my monitor into my computer it would work which it did but it is super stuttery and laggy and I have no clue how to fix it! Any help would be appreciated
Some cables only go one way, like from computer to monitor. Also, you might need a cable with a little box on it to make the conversion from display port to hdmi.
Computer has hdmi (lower quality- maybe, there are different version of hdmi) to monitors display port. So, in general you are going from low quality hdmi on computer, to a very high quality display port monitor. If I were you, I'd put a pci-e card in your computer that has a display port, then you could go display port computer to display port monitor. Not exactlt this card, but something similar. Call Micro-center computer store and see what they recommend. www.microcenter.com/
Hi MK! Connect the computer box to your monitor, using a cord. On the back of the computer box, there is a plug to plug your monitor into. For monitors, there are many types of plugs, your pc might have one or two different types. The old blue VGA D-plugs still work fine for most of us. Newer DVI Digital video plugs, even newer HDMI plugs, and the newest is the display port. This plug, which ever one is on your pc, can be built onto the motherboard, or on a separate graphics card which is installed inside the computer in a PCI-E slot. There are different types of slots inside the pc box, but I think the PCI-E is still the most common. I'm no genius at the stuff, but by glancing at the web, the GPU is the graphics chip, which can be on a graphics cards, or built on the motherboard from the factory. If you buy a new graphics card at the store and install it into your computer box, it automatically disables the monitor plug on the motherboard. Lastly, if your motherboard monitor plug goes bad, you can just install a card to run your monitor. Even a cheap card will do for most of us. Gamers and those with expensive monitors like more expensive graphics cards too.
Hi Voyager! Might work with a regular cable, give it a try. Better to be sure to get the right cable, usually around $20.00. Some newer cables are one way only, older cables send signals both way. Both hdmi and dp are great quality, but because you're going from lower quality hdmi on your pc (xbox) to higher quality dp monitor, you might need a cable with a convertor box built into the cable. Also, hdmi and dp have version numbers, that might mess things up too. I also read that Windows 10 does not always work well with dp, it's hit and miss. Did the monitor come with a manual? The manual should have a section on that stuff, or look for the manual online, search for "my-monitor-name.pdf." I think you might need something like this.

Here is a question, i used to be able to hook up a regular desktop computer to my tv, where i can have the computer monitor working and my tv would be a second screen. my all in one computer does not have hdmi in it, just a display port, would i be able to use my computer and my tv both together with 2 screens. another words, i want to still have my computer screen on seeing things and my tv to have a second screen to do other work on it at the same time
@@iNsatiab1e Might need to use an convertor cable, 20 bucks on Amazon. Sorry for the delay, sometimes I don't get notified of the comments, I think if you comment from a phone or other device.
@@xdAibel300 Should be able to. Sorry for the delay, sometimes I don't get notified of the comments, I think if you comment from a phone or other device.
@@iNsatiab1e I agree! I have a small form factor pc I got on Amazon for $100 a few years ago. Worked for a year, now nothing...no errors, no beep codes, nothing. I don't know where to start with it, I think I'm just gonna trash it...not worth the aggravation.
I want to connect my PC to my TV. I have a dell refurbed computer with DPs but no HDMIs, so I bought a DP-HDMI cord and connected the two. I turned on the TV and chose PC as my source, but I get nothing! How do I fix this?
So I just finished building a pc and I don’t have a vga or dvi cord, so do I have to have it or should I download my windows for it to work or is there another solution
You only need one monitor cord. The plug on the back of your computer will determine what type of cord you need. VGA (blue plug shaped like a D) is the old kind, but still used a lot. DVI is a newer type of monitor plug, better quality, and there are a couple types of DVI plugs. Hdmi is another new type of plug. And now the DISPLAY PORT has come out, best quality.
Then you gotta match the plug on your monitor too. Usually the computer and the monitor have the same type of plug. But, if your computer is one type of plug, and your monitor is a different type of plug, you can get an adapter cables.
You can also add a "pci-e card" video card to your computer. Let's say your computer has a D plug, and your monitor has a DP. Buy a DP "pci-e card" video card to add to your computer.
You can buy a DisplayPort to HDMI cable. Just make sure that you buy a cable that supports the resolution of your TV. Most cables usually support up to 1080p. But if your TV supports higher than 1080P and you want that higher resolution, the cable will need to support it as well. All this info should be listed in the product specifications.
I don't know. That's over my head! And I never used an XBox or alien, they are real cool though. But my best guess. I think DP is supposed to be the best cable out there, so it should able to handle 240.
There is a pink and green chart about half way down the page, that might help you answer your questions. Display Port en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort
Will Windows 7 output signal to DisplayPort? Windows 7 will not output signal to DisplayPort. I just bought a new LCD that accepts digital input (Fujitsu P24W-5 ECO), however, Windows 7 (64 bit) will only output signal through the VGA cable. The cable from DisplayPort (m) to DVI (m) will only result in the LCD receiving no signal and going into sleep mode.
Hi K06! Great question! I just looked at a computer stores website. Looks the the high end computers had multiple display ports, while the mid-level desktops still only had the HDMI ports. Microcenter www.microcenter.com/category/4294967292/all-desktops
I'm not sure if a splitter will work on a pc. Seems like it should. Might need a powered splitter, one that plugs into wall electricity...but I'm guessing.
I think all the screens would be the same using this.

If the Tv's have a DP out, you might be able to "chain" them together...one tv out o the next tv in. Check out the manual. Back in the 1990's I was into "midi" on music machines, and we could chain 16 midi machines. Each chain item had a little lag delay, but was not noticeable on most musical things.
If you want each screen to be different, probably have to use a pci-e card. Put the pci card with multiple dp outs into the pc, the card would have multiple outputs. Then in windows, in "display settings" set up the multiple monitors. I know windows can do two, I've seen three set up on UA-cam, I don't know if you can do six, probably can. I have multiple monitors set up, but each monitor has its own pc, I can work faster that way and I don't have wait for the cpu to catch up with me. I just bout a used i7 4th generation, and it's still slow...from Amazon Warehouse refurbished about $250.00. You can i5 for $100 refurbished.
Make sure you have the right cable, some only go one way. You might need a convertor cable. Windows 10 does not always work with the display port, I think it's might be a driver issue.
Most likely a regular hdmi cable will work, but you might be better off if you get a new hdmi cable to go with your new monitor. A new cable might be a little faster for gaming. HDMI is pretty common, but there are different versions. Like version 1, version 1.2, version 2, version 2.1, etc. Check out the HDMI wiki page for version details. Your monitor manual might say what hdmi version cable to get. You could try any ol' cable to see if it will work, I don't think it would break nothing, just might run as fast or have clean graphics...pixalized graphics on the screen. These days I just get my cables from Home Depot...great cables, good price.

Back in the 1990's I taught music for eight years in my own shop. I ending up setting up a midsize recording studio, lots of used gear (this was pre-ebay days, I bought used gear through magazines ads). I remember one time I could not get any sound out of the set up. I finally called a tech at a huge company, I don't remember which one (this was pre-UA-cam days). I had him on the phone, he was walking me through stuff to check, telling things to check...he had me checking the electrical plugs first. I was about age 30, I still remember saying to him like it was yesterday, "What's this do!" He calmly said, "We're checking to make sure everything is plugged in good." I said, "oh..." FYI: I had two small mixing boards. Come to find out, a mixing board I set up and forgot about years previous, for some reason I had turned all the volumes down...thirty years later, I'm still telling that story.
@@JimVincitore That's hilarious. Oh the things we learn by doing. I have many stories like that myself. Thanks again.
@@JimVincitore can you use a Hdmi to Hdmi cable or only a Hdmi to Display port cable would work?
@@sylvainh2o Whatever plugs are on your monitor and pc...that's what you use. If both have dp, use dp. Try it and sees if it works...I don't think you can fry anything. If both have hdmi, use hdmi. If one has dp and one has hdmi, find a cable on ebay or amazon (about $10.00 or so) that has a dp on one end and an hdmi on the other. I think...going from lower quality hdmi pc to higher quality dp monitor, you might need a convertor cable. A convertor cable has a dp on one end and an hdmi on the other, and also has a little black box (maybe one inch by two inch box) on the cable to do the conversion from hdmi to dp.
I agree with the hostage comment and see that that the wall texture may also be a factor for the angst and yes I do enjoy the explanation too. Thank you!
Wow! That was my issue. The display port cable was not plugged completely in. Thank you kindly Mr. Vincitore.

Welcome Aaron!
You really gotta wiggle the cable... it worked!!! bravo Mr. Vincitore.
Cool. Sorry for the delay, sometimes I don't get notified of the comments, I think if you comment from a phone or other device.
I would not recommend wiggling the cable when it is plugged in as you will eventually pull trace pads from the PCB. if you are having issues with the cable, simply dip the HDMI cable end into some IPS, (or Isopropyl ) and use an old tooth brush and scrub the cable end, as well as the female socket on your PC, monitor or TV etc. it won't short anything as it is a dielectric. Wiggling the cable like in this video can break the pin connections (traces) and you will then have a bigger problem. Cheers! and Good Luck!
GREAT INFO. HAVE EVER ACTUALLY SEEN ONE BREAK OFF? OR IS IT RUMOR?
@@JimVincitore Not a rumour, check out a UA-cam channel called TheCod3r, he has repaired dozens of HDMI ports. mostly on gaming consoles, but the principal is the same. I also had this happen to a video card, one was a HDMI and the other was a Display Port.

Can i do it in opposite way like DP to monitor and HDMI to my computer?
Yes, for sure! But some newer cables are only one way. Try it and see if it works, can't hurt nothing. Most laptops are hdmi output to an external dp monitor.
The proscan flatscreen, is that a TV? If yes, on the TV monitor, use the remote that came with the TV to select the input. Like, if you plugged the pc into "hdmi 1" on the back of the TV, on the TV you must select "hdmi 1" as the input. Use the remote to turn on the TV, and quickly press the ENTER key on the keyboard to wake up the pc. Here, eventhough you are using the TV as a monitor, you must still select the input. I deal with that daily...I am using Amazon Fire TV as monitor. They work great as monitors, but a real pain to wake up everytime the pc goes to sleep.
Hi,
My monitor has a DisplayPort but my PC doesn’t have one. Can a HDMI to DisplayPort work with 144hz?
Hi Sway! I'm no expert on the topic. I did look it up on the web, and found comments that said "driving a DisplayPort monitor from a DVI or HDMI video card output, doesn't appear to be supported." That being said, there are different versions of HDMI, one of the newer versions might work. If I were you, I'd get a video card with a display port output plug to take full advantage of your monitors quality. Especially if you want to game at 144hz, I think you need display ports on both ends. Check out the comments below. An adapter might work, but you'll lose quality because the hdmi is not a good as the display port. I've been messing with computers since 1995, new technology is always a pain when it first comes out. Let us know your results. Jim
From the web: HDMI devices are manufactured to adhere to various versions of the specification, in which each version is given a number or letter, such as 1.0, 1.2, or 1.4b. Each subsequent version of the specification uses the same kind of cable but increases the bandwidth or capabilities of what can be transmitted over the cable.

Hi Furkan!
FIRST. On the TV INPUT, make sure it is "from pc." There is an INPUT BUTTON THE THE TV REMOTE. Push the input button on the remote, you should get a list of different inputs. Here, TV input can be, hdmi 1, hdmi 2, hdmi 3, composite cables from a vcr, dvd player, etc etc.
Second. Video from a laptop to tv should work easily. I think on laptops, the external out dp works without any additional configuration inside Windows.
Third. Cheap cables rarely work these days. Be sure to get the right cable, usually around $20.00, because your are converting from display port to hdmi. Some cable are one way only. Also, dp and hdmi have version numbers, check the version of the cable. Not like the old days anymore when any ol' cable will work... try to find a cable with a small convertor box built into the cable. Did the TV come with a manual? The manual should have a section on that stuff, or look for the manual online, search for "my-monitor-name.pdf."

I'm pretty sure it's all automatic, just plug in an hdmi cable and the video and sound goes through the hdmi cable to the monitor. USB works the same, plug in a usb device into your computer, printer, camera, etc...and the operating system knows how to route the signal. I struggled with the concept too...it's all magic behind the scenes.
i wanna ask, can i use this kind of cable when I only has HDMI port (laptop) and I wanna connect to dp (monitor) ???
Hi MUHAMMAD! Be sure to get the right cable, usually around $20.00, because your are converting from hdmi to display port. If memory serves me, I think you'll need a cable with a small convertor box built into the cable. Did the monitor come with a manual? The manual should have a section on that stuff, or look for the manual online, search for "my-monitor-name.pdf."
I think you might need something like this.
HDMI to DisplayPort Converter Adapter
www.amazon.com/dp/B07G796JF8/
DisplayPort adapter 4K@60Hz transmits high-definition video and audio signal from your HDMI computer to your DisplayPort monitor
FYI: It might work with just a regular cable. I read years ago that laptops are but with the extra port to connect to an extermal monitor. Give it a try, I don't thoink it would hurt the machines. ALSO, SOME NEW CABLES ONLY SEND SIGNALS ONE WAY. Old cables send signals both ways. And I read a few years back that Windows 10 does not always work with dp's. I hope they got that fixed by now, dp's have been ten years or more.
Feel free to write back and let us know how you got it working! Jim
If the monitor is a TV, you got to make sure the computer is actively running (press the ENTER KEY A FEW TIMES) when you turn on the monitor or the monitor will display "no input." Got to time it just right to get a display. I use Amazon TV's as monitors and fight with this 20 times a day!
@@JimVincitore dayum thank you so much Ill look forward to your suggestion, I really hope it'll help me getting 144hz, now I just got 120hz ahaha btw thanks again
Thanks for the review. I just bought a Dell (2022) and connected with the HDMI cord (both ends are HDMI) to my HP EliteDesk 800 GI SFF computer I bought refurbished and I would say it's about 8 years old. Have you seen this message flash on your screen?: Not connected to HDMI. Should I be worried about this message? It comes on every time I turn on my computer. I'm thinking it isn't a problem or the guy at the computer store wouldn't have sold me DisplayPort to HDMI converter cable. Thoughts or suggestions?
Hello, don’t know if you remember me I was the guy who has the Alienware monitor and I’m trying to get it to go 240hz and I have done some research but was wondering if you could give me a link to a HDMI 2.0 cable that does 240hz as I don’t know really where to look. Thanks so much I would appreciate it so much if you could.

I see what you mean by being hard to find!... On Amazon search for "hdmi 240 hz" and the cables popped right up. It took me a while to figure it out too, duh! GREAT QUESTIONS! COOL STUFF!
Is it work if I use HDTV?
Yes, I use Amazon TV's for computer monitors. Works Great!
I bought a used omen monitor to match my other Omen monitor so I'll have a dual display. I couldn't get the second monitor to work. I did use the HDMI on the back of the monitor to the DisplayPort.. Never dawned on me to unplug it and turn off the computer and rehook it up. I tried adding it to the computer while I was already using the computer and Photoshop.
Did get it working?
@@JimVincitore yes I did and it works great.
Thank you so much, you said wiggle it to make sure they were tight and I did both ways and now my HDMI is working fine.
Cool! I got the wiggle tip from another UA-camr! UA-cam rules!
So my issue is my computer has an HDMI port and my monitor has a display port. So far the monitor is not showing anything and keeps going into power saving mode.
A convertor cable might work. There is a link in the description box. Read through some of the comments below, there are many link to different types of cable. Be sure to install the drivers on the cd that came with the monitor...hook up an old monitor to see the cd. I just thought of something...Try starting the pc in SAFE MODE, start the computer, then hold down the F8 key (I think it's F8 function key (top row of your keyboard), and your pc might be different)...see if you get a screen. Safe mode usually takes a minute or two to boot up.

I have an hp Z620 workstation that i'm trying to connect to a proscan flatscreen. I have an adapter i plugged into the graphics port to plug an hdmi into, with the other end going into the proscan hdmi. There's also a wifi stick plugged into the front of the desktop, and the tv source is on hdmi. The friend i bought the desktop from said that is how it's done, but i see 'no signal' on the tv screen (no matter what source i put it on). Last night i tried to connect the hdmi to my vizio instead and put that on hdmi. 'No signal', again. This morning i wiggled the adapter to make sure it was good and still, 'no signal'. My friend is coming next weekend to see what's up. Any suggestions on what i might be missing, before then?
The proscan flatscreen, is that a TV? If yes, on the TV monitor, use the remote that came with the TV to select the input. Like, if you plugged the pc into "hdmi 1" on the back of the TV, on the TV you must select "hdmi 1" as the input. Use the remote to turn on the TV, and quickly press the ENTER key on the keyboard to wake up the pc. Here, eventhough you are using the TV as a monitor, you must still select the input. I deal with that daily...I am using Amazon Fire TV as monitor. They work great as monitors, but a real pain to wake up everytime the pc goes to sleep. Sometimes it takes me a couple minutes to turn on the monitor and wake up the pc just at the right time so I get the pc desktop...it's a real pain.
@@JimVincitore
Yes, the proscan is a tv and i had it on hdmi, of course. I did not know about the keyboard part. I will try it later on tonight and let you know what happened. Thank you.
If that is not the problem, make sure you inatall the proscan cd drivers on the pc, don't rely on the ones built into the OS, Windows 10 Pro.
The proscan Tv is plugged into house electricity right? And the hdmi cable plugged in the tv "hdmi 1 input?" Sounds like an expensive tv, there might be different hdmi inputs and outputs. Does it work as a normal TV? Might have been damaged in shipping. I have heard of CPU's popping out in shipping. Try the pc with an old monitor if you can. Some adapters are one way signal (not bi-directional)...is it the correct adapter? The adapter might need power from the usb or wall outlet.
Is there a display port outlet on the pc? Try connecting the pc to the Tv using a display port cable.
I have 144hz monitor, can i use dp and hdmi at once on my pc? Btw my hdmi cable is 4k :< is it okay to use or no?
Hold ur breath if u think he has the brain capacity to answer your question.
Hi Sullee!
The Blue plug I think you are describing is the old fashioned "D PLUG." I think it is also called "vga plug, vga port." Port is just a fancy word for plug. Those still work great and are very reliable. I think you are saying the D Plug cable is permanently connected to your monitor, that is common. On the computer side, your older PC might already have a D plug connection port built in, all older pc's do. I still use D plugs whenever possible, they are fast and easy and always work. If not, you can get a convertor cable to connect the D plug to an hdmi or display port on the pc. Or you could install a pci card in your computer to connect the D plug cable. I'd look for a convertor cable first and see if that works, before installing a pci card. Good enough PCI cards are about $20.00, but some are real expensive, hundreds.

Your wiggling doesn't look very healthy for the connector. An HDMI connector is sometimes only soldered to the main board (no screws) in your devices. Wiggling it around like this can make it break from the main board and it is not recommended to do like this. You should only push it straight in, but hard!
hello, so i have got an Asus Tuf F15 gaming laptop the 17inch one and i have just got an alienware AW2721D monitor thats refresh rate is 240hz whilst my laptop screen is 144hz and to get the full capacity of 240hz you need to use a display port and my computor only has hdmi so i bought a dp to hdmi cord and connected it and made sure it was tight not wiggling like you said in the video and it just wouldnt work and then ui used a normal hdmi on both ends and it worked but only gave me the 120hz so i was wondering if you could let me know what cord i need to buy inorder to get 240hz and very minimal latency like really low. This would be heavily appreciated. Sorry for the longmessage hope it makes sense

Hi Aiden! I'm no genius when it comes to the hertz stuff. I never studied it. First, See if you can find the hertz version on your hdmi cables and plugs, yes there is a version number. Then get a good quality cable, $20.00 or so. These days Home Depot is my first place for cables, quality cables, great price. Get the correct version number of hdmi too. I'm not sure if cheap cables will do the high power hertz you are talking about. In the old days, any old cable did the job, these days -- that's not always true. Second, right click on desktop, scroll down to "display settings." On the pop up, at the bottom, click "advanced settings." At the bottom of advanced pop up, there is a place to change the hertz, see if 240 shows up in the drop down. Third, if the monitor came with a cd, install the software (driver for the monitor) on the cd into your laptop...usually a "painless install," just a couple clicks and it does what's supposed to. Then try the display setting again. If no cd, download the driver from the monitor companies website...that will be the most current version too.
I found the below webpage.
HDMI 240HZ Monitor Compatibility: A Complete Guide To Making It Work
www.onecomputerguy.com/hdmi-240hz
Can You Run 240Hz on HDMI?
Yes; you can use your 240 Hz refresh rate monitor using specific HDMI cables, for instance, HDMI 2.1, HDMI 2.0a, and HDMI 2.0. These cables are compatible with 1080p and 1440p but on an 8-bit monitor.
Let us know how you get it working! And I'll look into getting you dp port to work! GREAT QUESTION! TOUGH STUFF!
@@JimVincitore thankyou so much will do but do i buy a dp to hdmi cable or try and get a good quality hdmi cable as my monitor doesnt link with hdmi 2.1
So can you use any hdmi cord without a vga cable? Or does it have to be like a pc hdmi cord? Jw I tried a regular spare hdmi cord I had for my tv and nothing pops up. When I plug in my vga than my display pops up.
Great question. If you use an hdmi, you do not need the vga...I'm pretty sure. I don't use the vga, it works fine. There are a few versions of hdmi, v1, v2, v3, etc. And some cables the data only flow one way. Your guess is as good as mine, I'm not a hardware tech. But ya know, now that you mention it, I have a sff pc that I can not get a signal from, it might just be the cheap hdmi cable. Cheap hdmi's off the web you never know what you are getting. Home Depot used to sell Belkin cables.
A few articles on the web talk about Windows 10 does not always working nice with display ports. And it could just be a driver problem.
I did a quick search on the web, it looks like Linux has problems with dp's too. Maybe the updated OS'es work better.
Would it work with display port end in the monitor and hdmi end in the PC? One of my monitors only had display port support and I'm having a hard time finding a double ended display port cable lately
Hi Brandon! Be sure to get the right cable, usually around $20.00, because your are converting from hdmi to display port.

Dp's are the newest plug, everything is changing to dp's. I read the dp wiki, they have been around 10+ years, but just catching on the last few years. I think they are kinda buggy, lots of people have problems with them.

WEIRD DISPLAYS! In my 25 years of messing with old junk pc's, I've never seen anything lik that..." colour green and then it only shows normal colour/display only on the upper right side of screen." Was your computer in a hot room, that heat dome last week in the USA breaks computers. When you turn on your pc, does it beep...beep codes are error messages. Short and long beeps, like morse code.

Not inserting stuff the whole way always causes electronics to fail prematurely, goes for ram, pci-e cards etc. It's a common problem.

I have a display port to display port cable my pc has a display port slot and so does my monitor but there is no signs when I plug it in, how can I fix this?
Hi Calvin! I'm not sure of your question. Check your computer and monitor manuals first, that's always the best place to start. You can probably find them online too. Turn both computer and monitor off. Unplug the current monitor video cables, such as vga or hdmi cables. Double check that both computer and monitor have display ports, they look real similar to hdmi plugs. Plug in the display port cable into both computer and monitor, don't force the plug in, push in lightly. Then turn computer and monitor back on, and hope everything works, called plug and play, or plug and prey! Display port carries both video and audio, so you might not need the audio cable if you have one plugged into your monitor. Feel free to write back. Jim
What if you did it the other way around? I have a desktop that don't have a displayport, so I would then use a cable like that but with the hdmi from the PC and the Displayport into the monitor, do you know if that would work?
I think it will, but you might need a converter cable. converts from hdmi to display port.
I just had mine, I ordered the same thing and never knew anything about input/output. It didn't work because the HDMI should be plugged in the monitor and the displayport in the laptop. Sad to say, my monitor is old and doesn't have hdmi at the same time, my laptop is newer and doesn't have displayport, only hdmi. I find it hard to look for an adapter for both ends from where I live. I think I have to buy a newer monitor, I guess. Huhu...

Thank you!
My monitor came with dp and hdmi cables. I plugged both but i can't hear audio on my PC. Any help?
My monitor Is an omen 25 144 hz
DID THE MONITOR COME WITH A CD? THAT'S THE DRIVER FOR YOUR MONITOR. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE DRIVERS FROM THE MONITOR COMPANY WEBSITE TOO. LOAD THE DRIVER ONTO YOUR COMPUTER, IT'S EASY, JUST CLICK YES A COUPLE TIMES AND YOUR DONE. REBOOT TOO. GET A GOOD QUALITY CABLE TOO. I USUALLY GO THE HOME DEPOT FOR CABLES THESE DAYS. SOME CABLES ARE ONLY ONE WAY, INFO ONLY TRAVELS ONE WAY. THE OLD DAYS OF ANY-O-CABLE WILL WORK ARE LONG GONE.
IN THE CONTROL PANEL, THERE IS A SOUND ICON. CLICK ON IT, I THINK THE MONITOR SHOULD SHOW UP THERE.

When buying the cable, is there a need to look out for whether the cable is uni or bidirectional?
Just make sure it works in the direction you need it to work.
THANKS!!!! Helped me a TON!!!!
Cool!
Waw. It worked! It actually worked!!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hello, i'm having a lot of trouble with my computer/monitor. I just bought a new computer (Thermaltake.). The graphic card has three DisPlay ports, and one HDMI.
My monitor (LG) has one DisPlay port, one HDMI and one VGA port.
I think I almost tried everything i can find online, and almost ready to try to return it. Everytime i try something (Like your video) it always show up with "Checking signal..." and then after awhile it says "No signal"
Everything i have is new... And cost me alot... I really just my computer to work. If you have any ideas or other tips, please help me.
Yep, dp's are a real pain. I'd start with wiggling the dp cable on both ends and pushing it in, lots of people do that and it fixers their problem. Second, hook up an old monitor and update Windows 10 (I've read Windows 10 does not play nice with dp's) and see if that gets it working. Next, go to your device manager and make sure all the monitors drivers are deleted. Then install the driver that came with your monitor off the cd or company webpage. Make sure you delete the ones not being used...in the old days (1990's), the old monitor drivers would not be automatically deleted and cause weird monitor screen flicker, and the only way to see the old driver still in there was to reboot into SAFE MODE, then delete it. Consider bringing the stuff back to the store, sometimes you only get 15 days to return electronics.
@@JimVincitore thank you for your quick reply. But I end up opening the computer because one of the fans wasn't working and found out one of the plugs was out. After fixing that, the fan starting working again, i found another plug that also seems not to connect to anything, so today I was going to try to with that. I will update on how that goes, and if it doesn't work, I'm thinking on taking it up best buy and see if they can fix it
I've heard of cpu's out of socket after shipping too.
Well... Update, I have already tried using a old monitor and all it says that the VGA not detected. I really don't know what to do from here, I have tried everything I can think of. And now thinking just to return it, and hope I can get my money back.
If you have any other ideas, I would love to at least try, but besides that, thank you for trying to help. it truly means a lot
I forgot to point out that my old monitor has VGA and DVI. Which i have tired both, and have tried both DP and HDMI on the computer. If that may cause any problems with the old monitor
thanks bro!!!
welcome!
Both of them are the same thing what do I do?
get a cable that matches, dp on both ends or hdmi's. dp on both is the best of the best for video and sound quality. Basic cables are around $10.00.
I have a laptop with hdmi and external monitor with dp, i bought a cable that is similar to yours it will work ?
SHOULD BE OK. BUT CHECK YOUR MANUALS TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.
@@JimVincitore I already bought a cable, before that I had an HDMI to dp adapter and it wasn't detecting any signal, but now I have a cable just like yours
@@JimVincitore it doesnt work...
This might be a dumb question but, are the display port and the HDMI connected onto the same wire or is it separate?
Dependes on with conveter u buy
Yes, there are converter cable. But you might lose quality.
Absolute legend mate thanks
Thank you!
@@JimVincitore my monitor doesn't have an hdmi spot to plug it in it just has this cord with a blue square with holes basically at the end that connects to the monitor and pc what do I do?
Hi Sullee!
The Blue plug I think you are describing is the old fashioned "D PLUG." I think it is also called "vga plug, vga port." Port is just a fancy word for plug. Those still work great and are very reliable. I think you are saying the D Plug cable is permanently connected to your monitor, that is common. On the computer side, your older PC might already have a D plug connection port built in, all older pc's do. I still use D plugs whenever possible, they are fast and easy and always work. If not, you can get a convertor cable to connect the D plug to an hdmi or display port on the pc. Or you could install a pci card in your computer to connect the D plug cable. I'd look for a convertor cable first and see if that works, before installing a pci card. Good enough PCI cards are about $20.00, but some are real expensive, hundreds.

HI CARLO! I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR TYPE OF SETUP SO I CAN'T MESS WITH IT, BUT TRY THIS...REBOOT YOUR LAPTOP WHILE THE MONITOR IS PLUGGED IN. IF IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY SET ITSELF UP, IF YOU ARE ON WINDOWS 10, RIGHT CLICK DESKTOP, CHOOSE DISPLAY PROPERTIES. CLICK DETECT.
YOU MIGHT NEED A CONVERTOR CABLE TO GO FROM LAPTOP HDMI (GOOD QUALITY) TO MONITOR DISPLAY PORT (BETTER QUALITY).

i have a dumb question does it matter where you put the adapter end in the pc or in the monitor ? for example i have a displayport on my monitor but i have HDMI on my graphics card does it work if i out the converter in the monitors end or do i should i only put it in the graphics card end ? sorry it's a bit confusing cause i was told by a tech guy believe or not that i have to only use it on the graphics end not the monitor.
New technology is always a pain. When Windows 10 came out, a lot of old printers and scanners would not work, even with new drivers. From what I've read online, for a monitor with a display port, the computer also needs a display port. I'd get a new video card, there are video cards with display ports, $50.00 on up on Amazon. For your set up, there might be an adapter sold online, but you might lose quality going HDMI to Display Port(there are different versions of HDMI, 1, 2, 3).
Display Port Wiki
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort
The wiki said Display port was created to be backward compatible with HDMI.
I have been trying, and I can't get any video and the hdmi of my pc es broken, so I saw it had a DP port, and my monitor had a hdmi port
So bought a cable and I am not getting any video :(
Maybe get a cheap pci-e card with hdmi, you can always return it if that's not the problem.

The DP port to monitor hdmi port should work though, probably a software thing. Your OS not sending video out your display port. From what I've read, Windows 10 has problems with DP's.
@@JimVincitore thanks I'll try te get something :)
@@JimVincitore but how do I fix that Windows error if I can't get any video?
Do I put the Dp port into the gpu and then the hdmi side into the monitor?
Depends on what your computer has. If both monitor and computer box both have DP, then use DP on both. DP on both ends is best quality. If your monitor has a hdmi plug, then you'll need a cable that converts DP to hdmi. HDMI is high quality, but DP is better.
My pc has no display port but my monitor does . What cord will I need ?
Hi ILY! Be sure to get the right cable, usually around $20.00, because your are converting from hdmi to display port. If memory serves me, I think you'll need a cable with a small convertor box built into the cable, converts hdmi computer to better quality display port monitor. Did the monitor come with a manual? The manual should have a section on that stuff, or look for the manual online, search for "my-monitor-name.pdf."

Any help would be appreciated
Some cables only go one way, like from computer to monitor. Also, you might need a cable with a little box on it to make the conversion from display port to hdmi.
Computer has hdmi (lower quality- maybe, there are different version of hdmi) to monitors display port. So, in general you are going from low quality hdmi on computer, to a very high quality display port monitor. If I were you, I'd put a pci-e card in your computer that has a display port, then you could go display port computer to display port monitor. Not exactlt this card, but something similar.

do u connect GPU and monitor or motherboard and monitor ?
Hi MK! Connect the computer box to your monitor, using a cord. On the back of the computer box, there is a plug to plug your monitor into. For monitors, there are many types of plugs, your pc might have one or two different types. The old blue VGA D-plugs still work fine for most of us. Newer DVI Digital video plugs, even newer HDMI plugs, and the newest is the display port. This plug, which ever one is on your pc, can be built onto the motherboard, or on a separate graphics card which is installed inside the computer in a PCI-E slot. There are different types of slots inside the pc box, but I think the PCI-E is still the most common. I'm no genius at the stuff, but by glancing at the web, the GPU is the graphics chip, which can be on a graphics cards, or built on the motherboard from the factory. If you buy a new graphics card at the store and install it into your computer box, it automatically disables the monitor plug on the motherboard. Lastly, if your motherboard monitor plug goes bad, you can just install a card to run your monitor. Even a cheap card will do for most of us. Gamers and those with expensive monitors like more expensive graphics cards too.
Mine is the other way around. The display port is on the monitor and the HDMI is on my device. I'm using an Xbox, would that make a difference??
Hi Voyager! Might work with a regular cable, give it a try. Better to be sure to get the right cable, usually around $20.00. Some newer cables are one way only, older cables send signals both way. Both hdmi and dp are great quality, but because you're going from lower quality hdmi on your pc (xbox) to higher quality dp monitor, you might need a cable with a convertor box built into the cable. Also, hdmi and dp have version numbers, that might mess things up too. I also read that Windows 10 does not always work well with dp, it's hit and miss. Did the monitor come with a manual? The manual should have a section on that stuff, or look for the manual online, search for "my-monitor-name.pdf."

Hi Owen! Yep! Tnat's what I had too. I bought the cables on Amazon or ebay. They were cheap about $10.00 or so for two.
So I just finished building a pc and I don’t have a vga or dvi cord, so do I have to have it or should I download my windows for it to work or is there another solution
You only need one monitor cord. The plug on the back of your computer will determine what type of cord you need. VGA (blue plug shaped like a D) is the old kind, but still used a lot. DVI is a newer type of monitor plug, better quality, and there are a couple types of DVI plugs. Hdmi is another new type of plug. And now the DISPLAY PORT has come out, best quality.
Then you gotta match the plug on your monitor too. Usually the computer and the monitor have the same type of plug. But, if your computer is one type of plug, and your monitor is a different type of plug, you can get an adapter cables.
You can also add a "pci-e card" video card to your computer. Let's say your computer has a D plug, and your monitor has a DP. Buy a DP "pci-e card" video card to add to your computer.
I have a smart tv with only hdmi port and my cpu with display port what can i do for connect cpu with my tv for make tv as monitor
You can buy a DisplayPort to HDMI cable. Just make sure that you buy a cable that supports the resolution of your TV. Most cables usually support up to 1080p. But if your TV supports higher than 1080P and you want that higher resolution, the cable will need to support it as well. All this info should be listed in the product specifications.
If I have Xbox series s connect to a alien ware monitor with 240 hz with that cable will I run 240 ?
I don't know. That's over my head! And I never used an XBox or alien, they are real cool though. But my best guess. I think DP is supposed to be the best cable out there, so it should able to handle 240.

Worth a try. Hopefully Microsoft got it working by now. Let us know if it works.

Will Windows 7 output signal to DisplayPort?
Windows 7 will not output signal to DisplayPort. I just bought a new LCD that accepts digital input (Fujitsu P24W-5 ECO), however, Windows 7 (64 bit) will only output signal through the VGA cable. The cable from DisplayPort (m) to DVI (m) will only result in the LCD receiving no signal and going into sleep mode.

If the Tv's have a DP out, you might be able to "chain" them together...one tv out o the next tv in. Check out the manual. Back in the 1990's I was into "midi" on music machines, and we could chain 16 midi machines. Each chain item had a little lag delay, but was not noticeable on most musical things.
If you want each screen to be different, probably have to use a pci-e card. Put the pci card with multiple dp outs into the pc, the card would have multiple outputs. Then in windows, in "display settings" set up the multiple monitors. I know windows can do two, I've seen three set up on UA-cam, I don't know if you can do six, probably can. I have multiple monitors set up, but each monitor has its own pc, I can work faster that way and I don't have wait for the cpu to catch up with me. I just bout a used i7 4th generation, and it's still slow...from Amazon Warehouse refurbished about $250.00. You can i5 for $100 refurbished.

Most likely a regular hdmi cable will work, but you might be better off if you get a new hdmi cable to go with your new monitor. A new cable might be a little faster for gaming. HDMI is pretty common, but there are different versions. Like version 1, version 1.2, version 2, version 2.1, etc. Check out the HDMI wiki page for version details. Your monitor manual might say what hdmi version cable to get. You could try any ol' cable to see if it will work, I don't think it would break nothing, just might run as fast or have clean graphics...pixalized graphics on the screen. These days I just get my cables from Home Depot...great cables, good price.
I did a quick search on Amazon, and this HDMI cable does list a version number of 2.1, and in the description it says it's compatible with PS4.
