    Question HDMI male To VGA male adapter Not Working To Connect Laptop To UHD Monitor

    Solved with a VGA (output) to HDMI (input) cable, not HDMI to VGA as the direction is important.

    Question Where to buy a Glossy Monitor?

    I like glossy too. My Acer Nitro 28" UHD is pretty close ("semi" matte), but my Samsung QLED 32" UHD (looks semi-glossy) works even better.

    @boju Thanks for stopping by. Silly me: I probably need a VGA To HDMI, not the other way around(?) ;)

    Question HDMI male To VGA male adapter Not Working To Connect Laptop To UHD Monitor

    Greetings: I hope that you are all well. I'm trying to connect a Toshiba L455 laptop to an ACER Nitro 280 UHD monitor. I realize that it will only display 720P but having a nice, big 28" screen to project to will be an improvement. Maybe the adapter is defective? I tried 2 different HDMI...

    News How to Enable HDR in Windows 11

    Windows 11 HDR seems to work best for any 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray discs (e.g. uncompressed) I play on my desktop. Otherwise, I disable HDR.

    [SOLVED] This Mini PC claims it can do 4k, but its Intel HD Graphics 600 spec is 1080p

    [SOLVED] This Mini PC claims it can do 4k, but its Intel HD Graphics 600 spec is 1080p

    🤦‍♂️ 3 months later... Thanks again for stopping by. Just to wrap this up: I returned mine because the processor wasn't sufficient to power an external 4K UHD drive. Yes, it can display 4K, but, I had to step up the processor power.

    [SOLVED] 4K HDR Screenshots In Windows 10

    Thanks for trying to help. I probably should provide some background: I'm using VLC media player and trying to generate HDR screen captures. VLC has a screenshot function, but it results in a washed out, 4K HDR image. 4K SDR images are OK. When I open Xbox and trying to use/combine it with...

    Does anyone know how to do this, without getting the faded/washed out look? I read that the metadata doesn't transfer with HDR. Thanks. I have a GPU with HDR-10.

    [SOLVED] Can you please recommend an inexpensive GPU for my HP Slim Desktop S01 pF-1036 that has HDMI 2.0 and HDR

    I got this (new, $150) on Sunday from Federal Express ground service. It made a 3,000+ mile trip (CA to CT) in 4 days. That's very impressive to me. It, the PNY NVIDIA VCNT T400 fits snugly, though there is sufficient room for it and the fan to breathe. Unlike my standalone 4K HDR UHD player...

    [SOLVED] Can you please recommend an inexpensive GPU for my HP Slim Desktop S01 pF-1036 that has HDMI 2.0 and HDR

    @Third-Eye Yes, I saw the mini display ports. It was only $12 for a 4K HDR spec cable (unidirectional, mini display port to HDMI). I just need one for now. When/if I get a UHD TV (I'm using a UHD HDR monitor) , I'll connect my standalone, 4K UHD HDR player to it.

    [SOLVED] Can you please recommend an inexpensive GPU for my HP Slim Desktop S01 pF-1036 that has HDMI 2.0 and HDR

    Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time time to respond to my question. I already ordered the PNY NVIDIA QUADRO T400 VCNT400-PB, but I will try the GTX 1050/50ti if the former doesn't work out. Regards, Jay @Karadjgne Thanks again for opining on this subject.

    [SOLVED] Can you please recommend an inexpensive GPU for my HP Slim Desktop S01 pF-1036 that has HDMI 2.0 and HDR

    Thanks again for trying to help. This one has HDR, is narrow (looks less than 4" wide), thin (~ 1", won't hit the power supply) and not too long (~6", so that it won't hit the power supply connector on the motherboard)...
