Hi, I'm afraid that not only a cable is needed but an analog (vga) to digital (dvi) converter/scaler as well. The iLo LCD Display V27DMBX-U12 can hook up to a PC using the DVI-I connection only. As you said, your computer has the standard 1D15 pin VGA connector. Another possibility is if your video card has a composite video output (normally a color yellow RCA female) or an S-Video output which will both connect direct to your iLo LCD Display V27DMBX-U12. For the RCA connection all you need is an ordinary RCA to RCA shielded wire cable and for the S-Video, an S to S Video cable will work. There is of course the question about the quality or the resolution. Good luck and hope that this be of some help to you. Pls post again how things turn up. Kind regards.

Hi again,
1. What is a converter/scaler?
The converter/scaler converts Analog VGA or Component Video to DVI-I. The purpose is to retain if not improve on the display quality. An example is shown athttp://www2.dvigear.com/vgatodvicosc.htm...
2. Do I need that as well as the vga to dvi?
Yes if your iLOi is pure digital;
No if it is capable of analog inputs;
You can try with cable only (& no converter/scaler)that are VGA at one end and DVI at the other end. You can try something like what is featured athttp://www.datapro.net/products/dvi-to-v...
3. Also I lost the owners manual so you know where I can download one?
If you purchased your unit from WalMart, sorry no.
It if was from Europe you can try www.ilo.com
Cheers.

yes, radio shack said that they had a cable to plug into the dvi input and back to the computer. but its not the right one. im stumped as well. i tried to get some sort of telephone number for ilo bu ilo.com is NOT the tv manufacturer by the way. someone needs to stop advising people to contact them.

My cable is connected thru hdmi port but cannot use other hdmi ports
I recently got the Genie system with DirecTV and for some reason my Crosley HD TV will not work with the Genie. It tells me that my TV is not compatible with the HDMI cord. It says I need a compontent cable. What do I need to do?

Whenever I try using my PC I get display issues. The image appears too far to the left. I can correct the issue by adjusting the screen (slightly to the right, adjust the phase a little). In addition to this, I also have to correct the same issue whenever the computer loads up a program. The screen goes back to displaying too far to the left and cutting off the image.* Recently, I bought a game and now the screen cannot be corrected via the menu system. The game is totally unplayable because the screen goes to far to the left. What is the problem and how do I resolve it?
* Note: Even if I adjust the screen to dot-to-dot or a smaller setting (4:3), the image is still cut up. The "display" is in the center, but the image is too far to the left. Around the 4:3 display is black (like you would expect) but the display is half black with half an image (with only half the original image showing).
I'm using a PC monitor connection (VGA Monitor cable to connect the PC to the TV's monitor port; not HDMI Cable)
Regards,
Gary.
says no connection
The tv is in the computer option for vga connection
