  • 2011 Mac Mini and Acer x222w monitor incompatible? HDMI to DVI adapter issue

    I am totally bummed because I just bought a new Mac Mini thinking I'd be able to use the display from my old system, an Acer x222w, which has both DVI-D and VGA connections. I hooked the monitor up using the HDMI to DVI adapter included in the box with the Mini. On boot, I could see the Apple logo, though it was not centered, and when the set up screen came up to the select language screen, it flashed quickly and then turned to snow.
    I was on the phone with Apple support for over an hour trying to troubleshoot this issue. I was a little disappointed that tech support didn't even seem to  be aware that the Mini came with an HDMI to DVI adapter. It was then recommended that I try an adapter for the mini display port, which the 2011 Mini doesn't have.
    I was able to borrow another monitor, a Dell with DVI-D, and it worked.
    I have searched for specs/requirements that might explain why the Acer monitor doesn't work while the Dell one does. I cannot find anything from Apple. I just assumed any DVI connection would work. Has anybody else encountered this problem? Most of the issues I've found on the forums involve trying to hook up to a home theater LCD TV, which I'm not trying to do. If I had known my monitor wouldn't work, I probably would have just saved up for an iMac.
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts or tips!

  • Mac Mini Newbie + Viewsonic VX2450WM monitor.  Need HDMI to DVI adapter?  What cords needed?

    Mac Mini Newbie here.
    Getting the Viewsonic VX2450WM monitor for it. There is no HDMI on this monitor, but reviews said it's Mac mini compatible. 
    Do I need to get an additional cord?  HDMI to DVI adapter cable? Does the supplied short white cord inside Mac Mini packaging suffice?
    Thank you!

    No, the HDMI on Mini only support digital VGA is analogue
    Can the HDMI port drive analog displays (VGA displays for example) using adapters?
    No.  The HDMI port will drive digital connections—such as DVI—using the adapter that came with the Mac mini, but cannot be used for analog displays such as VGA. You can purchase a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter separately to drive analog displays.

  • Z77A-G43 No onboard VGA,HDMI and DVI, No audio

    I have a Z77A-G43 with a i5-3350P processor. I connected my monitor (Iiyama) on the on-board VGA port. After installation i started up the computer. I could see the the computer was starting up on the keyboard but i did not see anything on the monitor. My monitor has two inputs, VGA and HDMI, so i tried the on-board HDMI-port. Again no picture.
    Then i put in a videocard in the PCIe slot and connected the monitor on the VGA output of the videocard.
    I started up the computer and now i could see the start-up on the monitor, so the monitor and VGA cable are oke.
    After installation of the software i saw that there where no speakers attached. Tested the speakers on a other the computer and the are oke. So i have allso a problem with the on-board speakeroutput.
    It is a new motherboard and i went back the the shop and got another motherboard, installed it and started up the computer. I got the same problems with this new motherboard as with the one i had before.
    I checked all the connections seferal times and did not find anything wrong.
    With a videocard i could see in the BIOS. All the connected hardware was recognized.
    What could be the problem with the on-board VGA, HDMI and the on-board speakeroutput.

      How far has the build progressed? Got the OS installed yet? You have to have the audio driver loaded before you get the audio to work.

  • HDMI to DVI to VGA to Monitor?

    I just purchased a Mac Mini and totally forgot that Apple upgraded to Mini DisplayPort (I still have the mini-vga to vga cable on my MacBook).
    So what next? Do I have to buy a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter? Or can I somehow hook up the Mini to my VGA monitor with the HDMI to DVI adapter that I got in the box?
    Also, I have one of these, but it doesn't seem to fit in the DVI:

  • Lenovo B570 isn't recognizing a monitor through a HDMI connection.

    The title says it all really, every time I connect my B570 to my Benq monitor using a HDMI to DVI cable, the laptop fails to detect anything.
    When I connect the laptop and screen using the VGA to VGA cable, the laptop picks up the screen without any trouble at all. I bought a new HDMI to DVI cable and the laptop is still failing to recognise the monitor.

    hi flytch
    can you check if the cable works first? (you can use another computer to check it if you have)

  • New 2012 Mac mini having screen resolution problem when I connect to either 27" LG or 22" Hannspree monitor. Tried mini display port to VGA/HDMI and HDMI to DVI-D cables... all same isse

    New 2012 Mac mini having issues in connecting to third party Monitors. Connected my mac mini to a 27" LG monitor. Text looks blurred. Tried connecting to the monitor using 3 options. 1) mini port to HDMI, then HDMI cable to LG monitor. 2) Mini port to VGA, then VGA cable to monitor 3) HDMI port on mini mac to DVI-D cable then DVI to DVI cable... In all cases text is not clear. Anyone has similar issues with latest mini mac. The monitor works fine when I connect to a windows 7 Samsung laptop. Any input is highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance

    Why do you use always 2 cables? There's a lot that can go wrong.
    1.) Hardware:
    - Use only one cable, best an HDMI->HDMI cable. It doesn't need to be an expensive one, they've proven to be no worse than those "esoteric", expensive ones.
    - Set the monitor to the HDMI input.
    - The modes you are listing are only "picture modes" changing color/brightness/contrast settings, not resolution or the likes, so pick the one you like best later, or enter your own settings under Custom.
    2.) OS X:
    - Usually the Mac detects the screen itself and chooses the best settings, so by default you need to do nothing than make a proper hardware connection to get a decent image.
    - However, there have been issues with new Mac Minis and particularly their HDMI ports. But reportedly they have been fixed with a software update. So, launch the App Store and check under Updates if there is one for you to install. If so, do it; otherwise you should be good to go.
    - If you require, go to System Preferences -> Displays. In the Dispaly tab, by default, "Best for display" should be selected, and that is typically true. If you want, select "Scaled" and 1920x1080, plus a frequency from the list (where higher is usually better, but just pick the one that works best for you). If you can't see a change to the better, you best go back to "Best for display".
    - If you are not happy with the colors on your screen, you'll find eventually more than one choice in the Color tab, though your particular screen should be in the list and its Display Profile should get you the best result. (Double-check picture modes on your display: if you're far off there, you won't make it much better with the Mac's settings).

  • Dual Monitor Hook-up, DVI/VGA/HDMI?

    I think it's time to retire my aging samsung 22" and buy a few 23" LED's to replace it.
    My graphics card only has DVI out (x2), and the 3 monitors I'm looking at do not have dual DVI (either dual HDMI and DVI, or DVI/VGA/HDMI), so I would need adapters from DVI to HDMI/VGA. I'm guessing that's all handled at the adapter/hardware level, so linux should have no problem finding them, but if I'm hooking 1 up natively to DVI, and the other through an adapter (or both through adapters), will I notice any quality difference between the 2 monitors?

    Personally I use my HDMI monitor as my main monitor and have the secondary monitor attatched to VGA. I can't really tell the difference in performance between the two, however I never work with anything terribly graphics intensive.
    and it hurts to hear that my Samsung 22" is also  'aging'  of course so is my 17" secondary I guess maybe that'll be my next investment...
    Sorry about the aging comment
    But this is the answer I was looking for! I don't want to have 1 monitor hooked up via HDMI and the other VGA and be able to see a noticeable difference between the 2. I don't do anything graphics intensive either.
    Thanks for all the responses!

  • HP 2310ei Monitor (DP/DVI-D) to VGA/HDMI laptop

    So, I recently bought the HP 2310ei Monitor. It has DisplayPort and DVI-D connections.
    Originally I had planned to just use a VGA/DVI adapter, but I didn't realise that there's a difference between DVI-I and DVI-D. Now I'm wondering, whats my best option?
    Buy a Vga to DVI-D adapter? Or a Vga to DisplayPort?
    Or maybe go with HDMI to DisplayPort?
    On the official DisplayPort website I read that there is no efficient way to connect a VGA Laptop to a DisplayPort monitor because of Analog/Digital, whatever that means, but in a different topic on this bord I also read that someone who bought a HDMI to DisplayPort cable couldnt get it working, so I'm kinda at a loss.
    What are my best options?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the computer that is being connected to this monitor.  
    There isn't a VGA to DVI-D adapter nor a VGA to DisplayPort adapter on the market, however there may be some expensive active convertors. Depending on your exact computer and its video output ports, you may have a few options. Being that you also ask about going from HDMI to DisplayPort, one can assume your computer has an HDMI out. If this is the case... the easiest, cheapest, and way to connect an HDMI output to the HP 2310ei is with an HDMI-to-DVI cable.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • No HDMI or MiniDP-to-VGA output, but HDMI-to-DVI is okay

    I purchased my Mac Mini almost a week ago and I've been having strange issues with getting my various monitors to work with it.
    I don't own any Thunderbolt or native MiniDisplayPort monitors, however I do have a number of VGA monitors, as well as some HP LP2475w monitors which have VGA, DVI (DVI-D and DVI-A), HDMI, and DisplayPort inputs.
    When I have OS X installed on my Mac Mini, the Apple MiniDP-to-VGA adapter works with my VGA monitors, but only when OS X has loaded. My monitors all say "no signal" during the boot-up phase. However I had no problems when I connect my LP2475w monitors to the Mac Mini via the HDMI-to-DVI adapter: I see the grey screen during bootup, can see/access the boot menu, and everything works fine.
    Today I purchased a HDMI cable to connect the Mac Mini to my LP2475w monitors to see if that would work. Well, it does work... almost, sometimes, but not most of the time.
    When I use a direct HDMI connection my LP2475w says there's no signal, unless I plug the cable in during the text-mode portion of Windows' bootloader (under Boot Camp). As soon as Windows loads, or during the grey-screen bootup section my monitors all say there's no signal. There is nothing wrong with the cable or my monitors.
    Here's a table:
    Connection
    Can see boot screen/boot menu
    Can see OS X (when loaded)
    Can see Windows (when loaded)
    HDMI from Mac Mini to LP2475w
    No
    Not tested
    No
    HDMI-to-DVI from Mac Mini to LP2475w
    Yes
    Yes
    Yes
    MiniDP-to-VGA from Mac Mini to VGA monitor
    No
    Yes
    No
    So what's going on here then?
    Has anyone else had the same problems as me?

    SOLVED - I purchased a third-party MiniDP to DVI adapter instead and it works a treat.
    Quite what the difference can be to a supposedly passive adapter I'm unsure - but glad it's fixed anyhow.

  • How do I connect Monitor without HDMI (but DVI-D) to laptop with micro-HDMI?

    I have a Samsung NP900x400D-A02US laptop... the video connections are:
    - a micro-HDMI
    - a "monitor port" (which the manual says supports 15 pin D-Sub interface.. or you can connect VGA adapter),
    I would like to buy the Dell Ultrasharp u2412M which has 1900x1200 resolution.... BUT it does not have an HDMI port.  It has:
    - a display port
    - VGA input
    - DVI-D with HDCP Input
    - USB ports (but I don't think it's the kind that will allow me to hook up thge monitor to the laptop with USB)
    How the heck do I connect the 2 of these... in a way that retains the 1900x1200 resolution?    if I can't find a good way I might have to find another monitor with HDMI....
    Thanks so much for your help!   It's a bit frustrating to sort through it all....
    Kathryn

    I ended up finding it by item #, because I would have missed it, too.  I wasn't sure if the product image was correct until I saw  this: 
    Connector on First End: 1 x HDMI (Micro Type D) Male Digital Audio/Video
    You got it figured out. Hooks up exactly like you said. HDMI and DVI will result in same picture quality, but as you mentioned, HDMI doesn't carry audio. They are the same, for all intents and purposes, in all other regards.
    The DVI cable should have thumbscrews on each end, to help secure it at each end. The Adapter I linked has 'receptors' for the thumb screws, so the connection will be secure. The monitor should have the same 'receptors' for thumb screws. The weakest point of the connection, physically, will be the Micro-HDMI, so just be careful to not put pressure on that connection. 

  • Does Mac Mini's HDMI-to-DVI cable support analog DVI monitors?

    The Apple website shows that the new (late 2012) Mac Mini comes with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable in the box :-)
    The DVI video connector standard supports both analog and digital video signal modes, but not all models support both modes.
    I have an old PC monitor with a DVI connector, which is probably analog only.  Will this work with the new (late 2012) Mac Mini?  
    In other words: does Apple's HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable support all DVI monitors, or only those with a digital input?
    Many thanks!
    - Martin

    Your right about the DVI standard support both analogue and digital. The three types are
    DVI-A (analogue only)
    DVI-D (digital only)
    DVI-I (supports both)
    In this case the HDMI to DVI adaptor will only support digital DVI. This is because the HDMI port only supports digital.
    Generally monitors with a DVI port support digital DVI, if you compare the socket and pins layout on the monitor to the one on the Mac adaptor if they are the same layout then that should indicate the monitor indeed supports digital DVI.
    Note: The maximum resolution supported by the Macs HDMI port is 1920x1200, if your monitor supports a higher resolution then you should get a Mini Displayport to DVI adaptor or if needed a Mini Displayport to Dual Link DVI adaptor (for the highest resolutions).

  • Using DVI to VGA adaptor with HDMI to DVI port on Mac Mini Server

    Hi - I couldnt find anything on this, so I decided to post a new topic. We just recently purchased a Mac Mini server at work for iOS development. Before we launch in in one of our data centers and start remoting into the system, we need to conduct basic setup on the system.
    For this, we pulled out an old stock VGA montior we have around the office, and found an apple DVI to VGA adaptor (http://i51.tinypic.com/2mzb4lc.jpg)
    The problem is, the pins dont exactly line up... on the DVI to VGA adaptor there are 2 extra pins above and below the horzontial pin on the left hand side (http://i52.tinypic.com/2mxhg1j.jpg) that do no exist on the Mac Mini HDMI to DVI adaptor (http://i53.tinypic.com/2ywesrp.jpg).
    Ive checked other converters and it seems that all of them are setup the same way, with two pins above and below.
    Has anyone else had to deal with this issue? I really dont want to go and buy the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor for one-time use.
    Thank you!

    Welcome to  Discussions!
    What you are seeing is the difference between an analog and digital DVI connector, as DVI as a specification can provide both types of signal, depending on implementation. When used in a mode where only one or the other type of signal is provided, the different connectors prevent a mismatch. VGA being analog, the DVI to VGA adapter is using an analog DVI connector. The other connector you are dealing with is a digital only connector. HDMI is digital only, hence the HDMI to DVI adapter being digital only. Thus you can not adapt from the HDMI port to VGA with just passive adapters, you would need a conversion device between. It would be cheaper and more effective to use a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

  • Wanting to use multiple monitors on HP hpe210Y w-DVI-I and HDMI. Audio: 5.1 Surround

    I have a HP Elite hpe210y with only two outputs of which are: 1) DVI-I and 2) HDMI. My  situation is that I have 2 new HP Monitors with VGA Cables. I have an adapter for DVI-I to VGA and also VGA to Dual VGA. I do NOT want the monitors to work as Duplicates however. I want the second monitor to be an extension. I am also interested in getting even 2 more monitors in teh near future for a total of 4.
    Is there some way I can get two monitors to work off one DVI-I ?
    Will I be able to upgrade to up to 4 monitors? 
    Is there a part I need?
    Wanted to mention that my OS is Win7 Home Premium 64 bit. I use IE9, Chrome and Firefox
    I would of never bought this from Best Buy if I had known in advance that there was just the one regular output. I see they have one called a Phoenix which I may look into.
    Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

    >Is there some way I can get two monitors to work off one DVI-I ?
    I've not yet seen a solution for that.
    You can use a hdmi2vga adapter for the second port.
    >Will I be able to upgrade to up to 4 monitors?
    >Is there a part I need?
    you can try one of these:

    http://aluratek.com/usb-2-0-high-resolution-vga-adapter
    They will use your current graphics device.
    If you are looking for a new solution - I've read about DisplayPort version 1.2 that can do 'daisy-chain connection' with multiple monitors. But this you have to 'google' yourself.
