Is there any adapter I can use to go from HDMI out of my laptop to the Display Port on this monitor? I purchased one already but it wouldn't work.

Have you tried unpluging the power cord of the minitor and plugging it back in? It has a messed up sleep mode and the only way you can get it to display it when I turn my computer on is by doing that... its ridiculous I know

You have to make the DP the active one and the HDMI is not the active one.... I found one coming out of Hong Kong of all places and it took almost 3 weeks to get to the US but it works for me... I did not like the idea that I had to order from Hong Kong but it worked once I received it.

The only adapters that I have seen are expensive active adapters. There are USB to Displayport adapters for just under $100.

There are some out there and I had the same problem. I was told by a computer website that display port was a little higher than hdmi and it wouldn't work correctly so I just use display port to display port

I have not seen a cable or adapter yet, They have not produced one, There are other fine monitors out there that are thin and light also they are more durable than this one, I seen feedback about this monitor getting bent!!

Not sure what the port next to the VGA is, the manual calls it "High performance Display Adaptor". I don't own any HDMI devices, so can't say for sure, but it does have the same shape & size. But can't plug it in to anything to test it.

I don't understand the question : display port on the laptop or monitor? In any case, this typically creates an HDMI port out of the other standard (display port?) . Can connect a TV too but watch out :sound does not go through.

There shouldn't be any trouble connecting to the display through HDMI. Make sure all the settings on your computer are correct and the display mode is set to HDMI. If all else fails, you may have a faulty unit.

I bought a DVI to HDMI converter to run from my laptop to my new 46" sony bravia. worked fine at first but now it will only display a thin strip of the image at the top of the lcd tv screen. I can see the web address bar or anything at the top of the computer screen but the rest of the tv screen is blank. The laptop computer screen is also flickering while this takes place. Have any suggestions? any tips are greatly appreciated, thanks

That's exactly what I tried (except I think you meant HDMI output, not input). It didn't work at all for this particular converter. I'm going to try a more expensive converter that looks identical and supposedly does the same thing, but I haven't ordered it yet.

only if your laptop has a very specific vga card, you would actually need a vga to hdmi that has a in line convertor, some people have bought this wire not knowing that it won't work

This is a USB to HDMI adaptor and I have a windows 7 laptop. I am not sure if your laptop has an HDMI port. I bought this device for my projector and laptop use. It works fine for me.

I was hesitant to answer because I'm not sure. I tried to convert the DVI to HDMI for a laptop to be on my 4 port switch and had a hell of a time finding an adapter to work. I'd research the adapters and find one that says they did that sucessfully... that would be your answer.

To be honest I no longer have the monitor. I had too many problems with it and the company so replaced it with a Samsung and eliminated the frustrations. I cannot not imagine it not having a HDMI port! How else do you connect? Mine had to have had one to connect the monitor to the computer. I will never purchase another Acer product and have passed my experience on to everyone that I know. It was a waste of money. I have talked with others who have experienced the same problems. My advise would be to see if you can recoup your money and purchase another brand. The company isn't easy to deal with so good luck. To be honest I no longer have the monitor.

There is a micro HDMI port on the left side of the laptop and the VGA adapter is $40. I had no problem hooking this up to an external monitor.

This is not an adapter. This is a HD converter. I have a very old laptop without an HDMI port. This converts the signal to HD so I can use my HD TV as a computer monitor. If this is actually what you are looking for, it should work with all Windows OS's. I am no expert but I have Windows 7.

Hello, Good question but there is no VGA port. I imagine you are trying to connect a monitor to the laptop. I went to TIGER DIRECT and purchased a HDMI (laptop port) to a DIN (monitor port), and this was successful. Hope this helps!

I'm not exactly sure.....here is my setup:1 - laptop native display1 - hdmi out FROM laptop1 - hdmi out FROM this universal hubalthough from their picture - looks like they have 2 monitors connected to the hub (1 is hdmi, the other might be the DVI port)

That is exactly how I'm using it. The HDMI is plugged into my Dell laptop, and it is connected to a VGA older monitor so I can have a second screen. It works like a charm!

I haven't seen that, I'm not sure why. Maybe due to the fact that many laptops nowadays have HDMI or DisplayPort. You could just get an adapter for your VGA or DVI, whichever you've got. Good chance you wont be able to get 1080 from it though. There are a lot of USB to HDMI external adapters, that might be the simplest solution for you.
