"No cable connected" - Help Needed

[TheMightyBears]

Hi guys,

I bought a small BenQ Monitor off EBay about a week ago. It's model #G925HDA. It only has a VGA port on it so I also purchased a VGA to HDMI cable with it. I plugged it in and the screen simply says "no cable connected"

I plugged the HDMI in to my 1060 which has been working fine for me on my regular monitor. Any ideas?

Hi,
For HDMI to VGA, a simple adapter does not work. You'd need something like https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Active-Adapter-Micro-USB/dp/B00879DM56
