Hi JohnThe 1302 has standard male HDMI and should match any standard HDMI slot. Like Richard mentioned, most desktop PC graphic card uses DVI (with two locking screw on the side).In order to understand your set up environment, could you send us a picture of your set up and the ports you are connecting to? You can reach us through contact seller or find us on icitouchtech. Thank you.

I am guessing you actually have DVI on your computer, not HDMI and need an adapter that looks like http://www.cable-warehouse.co.nz/image/cache/data/dvi-male-to-hdmi-female-2980-500x500.jpg. The adapter with the GeChic fits fine on my TV, stereo and docking station that uses a standard HDMI connector.

This product did not work for me to go from VGA to HDMI. I believe this product goes the other way (HDMI to VGA). Additionally, the VGA connection you need, needs to be a male connection to connect to the female port on your computer. This is the product that worked for me. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EV6AARC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I had a something like that happen but only because of a bad connection with my cables and I was trying to do a dual monitor with a lesser resolution. FixING the cables and getting a better second monitor fixed it for me. Hope you didn't just get a bad monitor

This happened to me too but I saw a post from someone else on here that said to go to Menu then Edit Name and select that. Then choose HDMI1, scroll down and select PC. They said this will correct the text for PC. My monitor is at work but I am going to try this Monday. If it doesn't work, I will have to return the monitor as it's main function will be as a PC. Good Luck. Let me know if it works!

Hopefully you are using an HDMI to VGA, not a VGA to HDMI if you are taking the HDMI OUT to a VGA IN on the monitor. They only work one way. As far as the adapter, it's just strait wire - no issues there.

The cable has a male HDMI on one end and a female VGA on the other. It requires you to have an HDMI female connection on your computer and is designed to connect an HDMI output to a VGA monitor.

it is FROM HDMI -> TO VGA - not from VGA to HDMI (different cable)You can connect HDMI port on your laptop to VGA monitor but not the other way . Hope this helps

Hi, Yes you are correct, there are two displayport interfaces and one VGA. Thanks, PCrush

if this is a second monitor (meaning you already have one connected to the computer), then you would need a video card with dual video output. If you look on the back of the computer, see where the video cable is plugged in - try to see if there is a second connector that looks just like it. If you don't have a dual video card adapter, then you would need a new video card.

2 cables involved, VGA to VGA, you should have one already if you are using the VGA port on a TV or a new monitor to your PC, HDMI to the TV from the device for HDMI presentation.

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 hope you can answer this for me. I'm planning on getting this tv due to the awesome reviews, but am curious about connecting it to my PC. My PC tower has the plug for what I'm thinking is called a VGA. It is blue and has 15 pin holes, 3 rows of five. Now, I figure I will have to purchase a special cord to use this tv as a monitor. I'm confused about which is VGA, DVI, and HDMI. What cord do I need to purchase so this will work as a monitor for me? Thanks in advance!

Make sure that the cables you buy are HDMI certified. This will ensure that the connector is made to spec. Otherwise, the problem is on the hardware side. I would first suspect the cable though.

I did not get a VGA cable included with the monitor even though the user guide on the included cd says it should be a part of the package contents. Now I cant connect this monitor to my other laptop.

bought this monitor but when i hook it up with a HDMI cable is tells me i need to connect a VDI cable?? i can't get the menu to come up? the monitor came with no paperwork. NOt sure how to contact this company for tech support. I went on line and left a message and got a return message to contact ASUS in the USA but gave me no info on how to contact them. Please help

Yes there is a VGA port on the back for a standard monitor. NOT HDMI. There is a PCIe slot inside that you can plug an additional video card if you buy a seperate one.

There should be 2 VGA ports IIRC and an HDMI. Try it with a different monitor too!!
