This allows communication between the hdmi and dvi devices.
Hdmi to dvi d cable not working.
Hdmi is essentially a superset of dvi d and is still mostly backwards compatible with dvi.
The monitor is not detecting the dvi d cable when plugged in.
Her laptop has a hdmi out port.
If you are attempting to connect an hdmi device to a tv with dvi connection you may need to use an hdmi to dvi conversion cable.
I would like to set up her laptop to connect via the displayport input.
I ve connected the laptop hdmi port to the monitor s dp port and there is no signal at the monitor.
When hdmi is plugged in the screen works as it should no issue.
As for testing whether the cable might ve been faulty or the gpu socket i tested it with another monitor which has the same input.
So subsequently i thought the problem lies in the usb c to hdmi adapter so i went to purchase a few other adapter like the j5 create jca374 usb type c multi adapter as well as a mazer m usbcal330 usb c to hdmi adapter but all.
Alternatively you can use an hdmi cable with an added hdmi to dvi adapter or a dvi cable with a dvi to hdmi adapter.
Converting between the two is incredibly simple and will typically cause no loss of image quality.
The input mode on the monitor is set to dvi d so i don t think that is the problem.
They re both set up via dvi d from her surface dock and work just fine via the dvi d input.
I ve also tried connecting the hdmi dvi d cable to a dvi d to displayport adapter.
