Geforce GTX 1060 - Connecting a VGA monitor with a DVI-D graphics card

Question

Hello, my problem is that I bought a new computer, the trouble began at the very beginning when trying to connect the monitor (iiyama Pro Lite E2207WSV) it turned out that I had the wrong adapter. Specifically, this monitor has room for a VGA cable that I previously connected to the DVI-i...

Welcome. DVI-D differs from DVI-I by the lack of an analog signal. So you can't connect directly. You can try the HDMI to DSUB converter, to buy at auctions for PLN 20. It will work or not (on some configurations it works well, on some it is hard to guess, but PLN 20 can be risked).

If the converter does not work, then replacing the monitor (or graphics card with an older generation, but it is unlikely to pay).

Looking for something like this:

Search at auctions as HDMI DSUB converter or HDMI VGA converter .

Somewhere I saw such adapters on the hdmi-vga allegro, nothing particularly expensive

I found something like this on the media markt page: https://mediamarkt.pl/rtv-i-telewizory/adapte...IsAMYuvBF6Zw-ttpLCQHoqew_AcZZEC_ECZZEC_ECZZEC
But I met with opinions that the adapter from VGA to DVI-d does not exist and if it exists it has no right to act, what do you think about the product from the link? Media Markt is probably not the first bribe from the market.

The media grommet won't work, it won't even go into the DVI-D connector. All in all, you already have one such DVI-I adapter

After a closer look at the MM vias, boost of brightness and contrast, 4 needles can be seen around the flat pin in the DVI connector. DVI-D has no place for these pins.

The fact was not visible. Do you think that in an average computer store I will pay for such a converter? I found the computer at less than PLN 30, according to customer reviews it fulfills its role.

Krzysiek0921 · Answer

I have such an adapter at home, and it works without these 4 teeth, and I say it works, probably 3 euros from ebaya

dt1 · Answer

No, it only looks similar at most. If it works with DVI-D then it must have electronics converting the digital signal to analog.

If the auctions are half price including shipping, you will overpay, but as they are not massive money, you can try. Provide a link to this device from your computer, you can assess whether it is suitable.

And in general why my friend insisted on this dvi if it is hdmi-vga

@lacroux These converters work:

lacroux · Answer

This is the link to the converter that I found, the price is probably not bad and the reviews are good, as it turned out in my city there is a stationary computer shop so today I will go there and let it know if it works.

lacroux · Answer

I went to a computer store today and bought such a converter from HDMI to VGA and the monitor behaves as if it was not connected, the message no signal is displayed, what to do? I connected it as follows:
HDMI output in the computer - converter from HDMI to VGA - VGA cable - VGA input in the monitor. Oh, I forgot to add that the seller in the store thinks that there is a DVI-d to VGA adapter so much that it is just out of stock and can guess.

Dvi-d does not support analog ... You need to buy a DAC and connect through it.

lacroux · Answer

But what exactly should I look for? I am not familiar with these matters and there are so many opinions on various forums that I was stupid and I do not know how to end my problem. I don't have funds for a new monitor. Alternatively, I can try to connect my computer to a Samsung TV via a standard HDMI cable, will it work?

Robert B · Answer

He bought it! This converter has a DAC. @lacroux Are you sure you selected the correct video signal output? If necessary, go to the store and have them check if it works.

lacroux · Answer

This is how it looks with me, where I placed my finger on the photo I connected the converter, it is the only HDMI output from the computer, DVI-d outputs are two, but it probably does not matter.
