I'm sorry I can't help - as I don't know. I only have the all-in-one monitor.

Hi, I haven't actually tried this myself and don't have a spare monitor home to attempt it. But if its not displaying to the second monitor after connection the hdmi port, try going to control panel and changing the display settings. Sometimes the settings for the display remains on the main monitor only and you have to set how you want the computer to handle the second monitor. You could usually set it to duplicate the same screen on two monitors with either both on or the main one off; or it can be set to span the desktop image accross the two displays.

Dear Mediabridge,You are right. I am having trouble getting audio through TV when I connect HDMI to my HP PC with Window7 and 37LG10 TV. I changes audio playback device setting to TV/HDMI default. On testing HDMI audio, it says this device is already in use. Could you please help me to get Audio. Thank you.Regards,BK

Hello, I have hp pavilion , you should be able to use your VGA cable as I didn't have to buy another cable. Just use cable that comes with monitor.

One other thing, make sure you are connecting the USB 3.0 cable to the Envy's USB 3.0 port (not sure of your laptop's configuration, but it likely has a mix of 3.0 and 2.0 ports; no idea why, since 3.0 should be backwards-compatible).

Asus are supposed to be releasing a specific mini hdmi to vga adapter; it's been shown off as an accessory but there hasn't been any pricing or release information given as of yet. Until then, there are other cables/adapters that seem to work including one from HP (- it needs a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter in order to use it with the transformer); you may wish to check out this thread on XDA Developers that discusses it in further detail. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088243 Robert

You have to make sure that you plug the included USB cord from the back of the monitor (right next to the DVI input) into your computer (or a connected hub), just as you would any other USB hub. They certainly should have included this in the instructions!

You probably already have this answered, but you need to connect a 2nd cable from the monitor to the computer. It's the one that has a squarish end fitting at the monitor, and a USB fitting on the other end that goes to the computer. This takes away one USB port at your computer, but gives you 4 at the monitor in return.

I believe they mean that there is some hardware in the cable that does the digital / analog conversion for you, or at least enables that form inside your latop. I can veryfy that it works great with my 2010 envy 14, though i know that this is just a knockoff for a part that HP actually creates for this purpose. This adapter will by no means change all hdmi outputs to VGA.

Any monitor you use should work fine . It might be connected to the work port on the computer. When I checked a write up on the Asus monitor it might have to be connected to had I port. Or maybe the monitor is defective. Try using monitor on another computer to make sure it's in working order. If you still have trouble try the HP support forum at hp.com

Does the monitor work? Are you connecting it were another monitor was already connected? Already mentioned but is the monitor set to the right port? If you have more then just a new monitor you need to eliminate everything that is different in your new setup. Have you used the display port before? Is this a new cable? You already said the monitor was new.

I'm not too tech savvy, but the package came with an adapter cable that plugs in to the mini HDMI slot on the card, then the regular HDMI connects to cable. On my small tower, the mini slot was just SLIGHTLY overlapped by the metal of the tower, but there was no problem plugging the mini HDMI into the card. Furthermore, the large white pin adapter on the back of the card comes with an adapter to plug into a normal monitor cable. Hope this helps.

Since the 5770 has only one display port, and only one hdmi (as well as two single-link DVI ports) I'd suggest hooking one up with the (included, in my case) HDMI cable and one to the display port. The display port on the monitor is full size, so if you're connecting it to a comp with a mini display port, you'd need either a cable from full size to mini, or a regular display port cable with a full-size-to-mini adapter at the end. If you happen to have purchased a recent Mac laptop or Mac Mini, check for an adapter. Depending on the model and when you bought it, a DVI-to-mini display port adapter, or a display port to mini display port, or even an HDMI to mini display port adapter may have been included.

Ive got the same problem..the answer is...you need a VGA to HDMI. NOT a HDMI to VGA...The thing is it wont work going the other way. Plugable support helped me...when going from old VGA computer to new HDMI. it slows everything down so the best thing you need to do is buy a newer computer with HDMI. you can go to plugable .com /support ..they are very helpful...

I believe the computer only had Display Port out and you'll need an adapter. did you use an adapter? http://www.amazon.com/Startech-DP2HDMI-DisplayPort-Adapter-Converter/dp/B0017K6BDW

Your picture shows a VGA to HDMI--It would not work from my HP to a Toshiba or similar; I had to use HDMI to HDMI to get it to work. Wouldn't recognize it, even going into the HP and changing resolution etc.
