Hello!

So I seem to be stumped on this one. We have a new Vizio TV with 3 HDMI ports. All 3 ports seem to work just fine with an HDMI to HDMI connection. I want to have another connection available for our users whom only have a VGA port on their laptops. I purchased a HDMI to VGA adapter to have this work. The problem seems to be that with the adapter the TV doesn't recognize the laptop with a "no signal found" error. Meanwhile the laptop recognizes the TV as a second monitor.

So you would say “The adapter must be bad.” That’s what I thought to until I decided to try the same HDMI to VGA adapter on a 22” monitor and it worked just fine! So all the hardware is there and working, what could be the problem?
