Long story short, it's cheaper to go all digital from a manufacturing perspective, no more A to D conversion, and the picture looks better anyways. VGA on the other hand is analog and requires extra equipment on the monitor side to convert analog to digital. My guess is that DVI-D to Display port with work, HDMI to Display Port, and obviously Display port to Display port because they're all digital. On the monitor side however, it sounds like the monitor itself may be pure digital. So what I'm trying to find out is if there is another adapter i could use to get the second monitor to connect and work properly.ĭisplay port to just about anything else on the computer side works because the computer is built to handle both the analog and digital output needed to make it happen, it's part of the standard. The same results so its not the monitor that is having issues. I also tested the cable on the monitor that was already working and had when i look in the display settings on the working monitor the second monitor shows up as a generic PNP monitor and i can move my mouse to the second screen but ti doesn't actually show anything on the monitor itself. we got a VGA to display adapter from amazon that said ti would work in this kind of situation (where the vga port is on the computer and the display is on the monitor) but the monitor will not display anything.

i was able to get one of them working on the HDMI port, but am having trouble with the second monitor on the vga port. the computer itself has one HDMI and one VGA port. the monitors only have HDMI, and Displayport ports to work with. Recently had a user purchase 2 Samsung C32F391 Monitors, and I'm trying tog et them to work with his current workstation.
