DVI/VGA

I just bought a HP Pavilion p7-1154 desktop PC. After getting it home, I discovered that I could not connect my vga monitors. What type of card should I get?

Rob,

Look at theDVIport on your video card or the video port of the motherboard of the e/s of the back if you use integrated video.  DVI DVI - D ports that are?  If Yes, then what are digital-only ports and VGA is analog.

If have no your monitors DVI or HDMI, so you have a few options:

  1. Buy a DVI to VGA Converter - not recommended
  2. Buy a discrete video card that takes care of two VGA connections - hard to find
  3. Buy two digital monitors - recommended
  4. Buy a graphics card with a display port (DP) and a VGA adapter and also use a display to the VGA dongle port.  I have never tried this configuration.

  • Question of DVI/VGA

    We just bought a HP 700 emissary - 056 desktop computer to use with the projection of our church system. With our current system, we have a second video card that manages our projectors and the integrated video card works our desktop monitor.

    The Envoy has a Dual DVI/VGA video output. My question is... rather than install a second video card in the new computer, can I get a DVI to VGA and run the spotlight OFF... Let's say, exit DVI and the office off the coast of the VGA output? The system will recognize one or the other as a "second monitor? If I can use the two DVI and VGA outputs at the same time? Or, is it (as I suspect it will be) disable DVI when I plug it into the VGA?

    Thank you!!!

    Here are the specifications for the HP ENVY 700-056 desktop computer to. This model supports the simultaneous use of both outputs video. This model has a DVI - D output (digital only) and a VGA (analog only) output as shown below.

  • Vs ATI HD 4650 DVI VGA - monitor attached to VGA not clear - what to do

    Well, I had this problem for awhile now. Seems that it is quite common. Have a desktop HP elite with the ATI HD 4650 Vid. Two better monitors from Dell. The monitor plugged into the side VGA is less strong. I confirm this by changing their and the problem follows the VGA connection (tried both cables also). Yes, is there any use by running the DVI cable down to the video card on LCD with an adapter on the VGA port? I think not because I'd just be using the DVI cable to trasmit a VGA signal. My only solution is to replace the video card by one who has two DVI connectors?

    The series of programs is 10.9 but driver 8.771 depending on the operating system and video card.  Go to the ATI web site for the latest video card driver.  HP is originally on the update of the video card driver.

  • DVI/VGA adapter.

    I have a HP110-122el PC and I just bought what I thought, it was a VGA DVI adapter. The DVI adapter part again has 24 pins and a connector spade and 4 extra pins, 2 above and 2 below the pod. The socket on my tour takes the casings for these 4 additional points. Therefore, the adapter doesn't fit. Are there different types of DVI adapters or is my weird PC?

    HI Hookey,

    Image (blur) below shows the types of DVI connectors.

    Your description of your adapter indicates that your have a DVI - I dual-link adapter.  The socket on the PC's DVI - D (digital only). If your monitor is analog, then use a straight VGA cable without adapter. Your PC is not strange that most, if not all new HP PC are DVI - D (digital only).  You can see the specifications for the HP 110-122el here.

    By your other post, your monitor specifications are here.

  • Vs vs DVI VGA HDMI

    I have a new computer and monitor and eventually hopes to use the monitor for television, but not now.

    Currently, the computer is used for editing photography mainly.  Is it better Setup for the vs of monitor VGA vs DVI HDMI for image quality?

    Thank you very much, Paul Herd

    Hi paulherd,

    The answer is simple: it depends

    DVI and HDMI are similar image wise, but HDMI carries audio also with her and DVI is not working. VGA is generally lower image quality than DVI and HDMI, but it can still be pretty good according to the graphics card to your PC. If your graphics card is capable of serving high-definition resolution, then VGA is superb. All really, it depends on what you want to do with it and what your PC can do.

    Here is an interesting article that talk about some of the differences that can be useful too, I found:

    I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • Precision M4600 suite screen problem when it is attached to external DVI & VGA monitors via docking station

    I had a strange problem with my M4600 (Windows 7 x 64, Nvidia Quadro 1000 M GPU). Here's how to reproduce:

    1. Dock work station
    2. Connect at least 2 external monitors to the wharf, at least 1 connected via DVI and at least 1 monitor connected in VGA
    3. Select power management performance under Windows 7
    4. Change the power plan settings to set the screen turns off after 15 minutes (or any time)
    5. PC slowed down to allow the screen turns off
    6. Try to wake up the screen by moving the mouse or using PC

    You will notice that the external monitors wake, but the laptop screen is not. So far, the only way I was able to wake up the screen of the laptop is in closing, forcing so the lock PC screen appears on external displays. Unlocking the computer and then reopening of the screen wakes up at the laptop screen, but also causes a crash of the GPU from Intel, which is used to retrieve the OS on the fly.

    I had this problem with all the GPU drivers for my machine, than to Dell support for the own site WHQL drivers Nvidia. Anyone having this problem or know of a fix?

    Note that this bug does not occur when the laptop is connected to the monitor (s) DVI only.


  • Mini DVi VGA issues.

    So I tried to find an adapter that transforms the VGA to Mini display because I have 2 monitors VGA and my video card has 2 mini display connectors, without vga connectors.
    I pulled the top of many of them, but all of them (less than $ 20) say that its for the iMac and Macbook pro, etc.
    If I buy one of these it still works on my windows machine?

    I don't see why not, it's a hardware thing, not a problem of operating system.  The item you are looking at is basically the same as this one on their site that clearly states that it is compatible with PC, for peace of mind and the concern for an extra $ 2, you might want to get this one instead:

  • Pavilion h8-1128 w/Radion HD 6750: disables the VGA DVI!

    I run 2 monitors SAMSUNG my h8-1128, which came with a HD6570 of Radion Eyefinity.

    Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    Both monitors are supported by the DVI and VGA inputs. The HD6570 has a DVI - VGA dongle, DVI - I, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.

    After watching a bit in the cables, I find this cable:

    StarTech.com DVIVGAYMM6 6-foot DVI - I male to male DVI - D and HD15 VGA Male Video Splitter cable

    by StarTech

    Characteristics of the product

    Use the DVI-> VGA dongle on the connector 6570's DVI with a VGA cable to the monitor that is shared with the CATV box, and then either an HDMI cable to DVI or DisplayPort / DVI cable.

    You have reason... that would be the way to do it.

  • Using DVI instead of VGA on the Port Replicator - Tecra A9

    I have a port replicator toshiba that I use with my laptop Tecra A9, currently I have a vga cable to run the external monitor, but I prefer to use DVI instead, but I can't make it work.

    Is there a setting somewhere that I have to activate? or should it work?

    See you soon

    Ash.

    Hello

    As much as I know there nothing that you must set for the use of the DVI port. The question is how you use it. Using a DVI - VGA adapter?

  • Dual VGA-out on Dynadock DVI?

    Hello

    We recently got the DVI-VGA Dynadocks U10 and got all installed software
    In the box has a note saying that with windows XP, it is not possible to define an external monitor to the main screen and then the laptop follow high school

    That's fine, but I got a VGA and DVI monitor connected to the dynadock

    Is it possible to have the screen of the laptop off and have as primary monitor VGA and DVI as the secondary?
    Everything I've tried so far has failed

    Have you tried setting to the top of the poster in the Advanced display settings?

    I do not know what PC you have, but go to the nVidia/ATI/Intel Graphics Control Panel. You should be able to change the output screen here.

  • Satellite P100: Can I connect two external monitor to the VGA & DVI port at the same time?

    Satellite P100 comes with two port external monitor. One VGA and one DVI. Can you have two external monitor works at the same time? Can you have two external monitor as well as your internal screen working at the same time (for a total of 3 screen at the same time?

    Here's what I confirm:

    Internal display + display DVI connector
    OR
    Internal display + screen VGA connector

    Is it possible to have:

    Display connector DVI + VGA connector display?

    OR

    Display connector DVI + VGA connector screen + internal display?

    As far as I know, this is not possible and you can use a DVI or VGA port.
    Output signal can be used only a single port for external monitor.

  • M70e Dual - VGA and DVI (Quadro FX380) display adapters

    Hello

    Recently, my team received M70e SFF machines with two monitors to work on. These computers for some reason any, that all came with nVidia Quadro FX380 workstation GPU, I installed the drivers for nVidia cards and chips intel integrated (both work fine individually). My problem is that I can't run at the same time, I can only have a monitor works at any time.

    Currently running Win7 Pro 32-bit on all machines and have checked the settings of the BIOS for the graphics cards, I get the following options:

    IGD (which I suppose is the graphics card integrated due to its activation the VGA only)

    PCI/IGD (integrated/regular PCI card, only the VGA monitor works)

    PEG/IGD (integrated/PCIe, only VGA works)

    PCI/IGD (PCI/integrated, only VGA works)

    PCI/PEG (PCI/PCIe, only monitor connected to the quadro works)

    PEG/IGD (PCIe/integrated, it's that I want to work, but only the quadro works on this one)

    PEG/PCI (PCI/PCIe, quadro only works)

    I looked everywhere in the BIOS for all the other options which refer to the screen, but I had no chance.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: I forgot to mention that I did not the ADD2 adapter that works very well alongside the integrated graphics card, may not try with the Quadro as there is only 1 slot PCIe.

    It is not possible to have dual display where one view uses integrated Intel and other uses of the Nvidia card. Dual display on Lenovo computers is only possible with the card installed ADD2 (using Intel integrated graphics card), OR if a dual display capable graphics card is used. These dual cards usually have the DB-59 on the back connection and require a dongle to cut two monitors signals. Later maps of ADD - 2 (the one reference you at Compuvest) is capable of a signal only DVI, VGA screens do not work.

    See this link HERE for more information. Lenovos of information available for the management of this function is sorely lacking.

  • HP monitor does not display "DVi signal.

    My HP LP2275w monitor does not display "DVI signal" when connected with a DVI cable (supplied), but when it is connected via a VGA cable and adapter DVI/VGA (both supplied) it works but no BIOS screen. It begins immediately with the logo of the VICTORY.

    I just bought new HP Pavilion 500-158eg, Intel Core i5-4440, with AMD Radeon HD8570, 2GB processor, running on WIN7 Pro 64 b. VGA and another port of the motherboard are initially blocked so I can connect the monitor only via the output HDMI or DVI on the graphics card.

    I should note that on my old machine without a name with the graphic upgrade ATI Radeon, there is no problem and I used the same cable. There was an electric shock that causes the collapse of the motherboard so I can't even re - check on the old machine. I can't verify if there is a problem with the DVI cable because all laptops in our housing have only the VGA output...

    All solutions?

  • Satellite Pro M30: Question Abu support DVI port

    Hello world
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 with a nVidia go5200 graphics card. The nvidia Web page asserts that this graphics card has DVI support (http://www.nvidia.co.uk/page/fx_mobile_fb_5200.html) but I could not connect my apple cinema display to the computer.
    The screen is connected through a DVI vga, but I don't have a 'real' addaptor.

    Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

    Thank you
    Magnus

    Hello

    According to the specification this device doesn't have a DVI - D port and there is no possibility to connect it directly to the unit. This unit video a VGA 15 pins port only. Google all over the place. Maybe you'll find a real adapter.

    If you find something interesting, please let us know. It may be useful for other members of the forum.

  • Select vga for second monitor

    I am trying to add a second monitor, but it does not receive a signal.

    With the help of HP Paviion Elite HPE 210f running Win 7 64 bit. It has an ATI Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I have been using a single monitor DVI-d port for a long time without any problem.  Now, I want to add a second monitor. The VGA port has a plastic screw top Cap. I removed the plug and plugged into the monitor. He doesn't get any signal from the computer. I tried to update the graphics driver that caused a blue screen. Restarted. Monitor main always ok, but nothing on the 2nd monitor.

    Tried running the Catalyst Control Center. Graphic material tab to the main Board, it shows the graphic Chipset is ATI Radeon HD and all other info says "not available".  In the software Graphics tab, it shows

    2D 8.01.01.1186 driver version

    The 2D driver file path is not available

    Direct 3D Version 7.14.10.0860

    Open GL version not available

    Version of Catalyst Control Center 2009.1201.2247.40849

    I have to do something to activate the VGA port?  This video card supports two ports/monitors?  I tried to look on the AMD website, but did not find anything specific to this topic.

    Moreover, the primary monitor has a VGA cord plugged into an adapter into the DVI port.  Not sure if that makes a difference.

    Here are the specs of your computer HPE-210f. Please note that DVI and VGA ports, which adjoin the rear USB ports are "blocked" for a reason. These video ports are disabled, because the ATI Radeon HD 4200 integrated graphics on the motherboard is disabled when a graphical supplement, as the included ATI Radeon HD 5450 card with your system, is installed. Only two ports that can be used are the DVI and HDMI in one of the slots of expansion above the back of the I/O shield. Please note that the DVI port can output digital (natively) or analog (using an adapter DVI / VGA) and the HDMI port can produce only digital signals. In all cases, one or two monitors must support digital signals.
