I year ago I purchased a monitor and a mini computer. Today I decided to hook it up.

Unpacked everything and no problem hooking things up but then I noticed all I had was
an included VGA cable..............the kind that has the screws on each side to screw in.

So lame since the mini computer does not have that type of display port.


There is a port beside that one that I thought was an hdmi port so I tried that..........nope.


The mini computer has hdmi ports and a display port.

What does the end of an d display port look like?
And do I need a display to display cable or a display to hdmi cable?

PS little paper looks like it says E1916H and several other numbers for the cable.
So lame because it displays it as if included.

You said your mini computer has hdmi ports and a display port. It must there must located somewhere on that device!

If not then you going through documents on product or specs on web!

I know VGA TO HDMI cables are available on amazon!

I can't last two question as I don't that mini computer!

I hope this help and if no then that's all I can do!

From what I understand you would need an HDMI to VGA Adapter they're under 10 bucks on ebay. Or if you want to use the other port you would have to determine if it is a DVI or a Mini DVI port (look up online) and the get the corresponding adapter for it DVI to VGA or Mini DVI (Thunderbolt) to VGA. HDMI would be best because it gives yo the most Resolutions for the Monitor.....hope this helps.

The way the image appears, it shows the display port from the monitor going into
the hdmi port on the mini computer.


dell stinks....


thanks

It looks like an RS232 Serial Interface (the thing we used to hook printers up with) had a baby with a VGA cable.

Got a newer TV?


Look at the connections/cables there...

Maybe borrow one from a DVD/Cable box...

I've got a ton of cables and have not looked every where in my house yet.

I saw one on Amazon but not sure if it will work r what i need.

Why is it I always have what I am not looking for!

Not sure about that one BouldRake but may work.

I got it.

I am using a HDMI Male to VGA Female Video Converter.

I have a ton of cables cords converters etc but didn't really know what I was looking for.

Thanks again.
