Change source from vga to dvi-d - Vga Computers & Internet

They are different protocols. You have to have a converter than changes the protocol (protocol is like a language...it needs to be translated to a different language). They are available from eBay or amazon but they don't always work very well. Best thing to do is get a unit with the correct connections.

you can't, DVI is a digital video source and VGA is an analog video source. however there is a VGA to component RGBHV cable that you can use. the Mitsubishi TV is very limited to the resolutions the VGA output can be. only 1080I, 480P or 480I. HD component video input in the menu you must change the source from Y /Pb/ Pr to RGB.

VGA to DVI Google Search

hi just hooked up the VGA cable from your PC into the VGA port of the tv unit and then select pc in the source menu. if it is hdmi or dvi you must need a converter , like vga to dvi or dvi to hdmi etc.

Hi Dear Friend,

You have a monitor with in-built VGA Port and you have laptop in-built VGA Port then why you are not using simple VGA cable to both port, Please don't use any other type to Adapter.


Thanks to Visit on Fixya

unfortunatly i believe the monitor may be dead. also check the connection on the monitor itself (the cable) some of these monitors are picky about which port is active dvi or vga there should be an option to change the input on the monitor itself from vga to dvi for the connection i hope that helps let me know!

LCD Monitors having multiple inputs have option and option to select and switch between the displays from analog (VGA) or Digital (DVI) inputs. Go to the LCD menu and select input source (DVI)

Hope this helps!

I'm guessing you are using a the VGA input of this monitor (the smaller "D" shaped connector with 15 pins) on the back. If not, and you are using the DVI input (larger white connector), then check your PC video output. I've seen this occur with HP monitors when they accidentally get set to "digital" input. Its easy to set that way (even by mistake), but not as easy to reset to analog (VGA). To do that, you'll need to find someone with a DVI output on their video card. Once you connect to a DVI source, the monitir will come on and stay on. You then need to go into the menues of the monitor, find the setting and change it back to "analog". After you do of course, you won't get an image on your monitor until you reconnect to an "analog" (VGA) source.

It is uncommon to have a faulty VGA input, although occasionally the pins get bent or broken on the cable. First check the cable.

Have you tried using a different source?

Some graphics cards/computers will only output DVI and VGA separatly and not at the same time. You may have to go into the display settings of your computer and change the output from DVI to VGA.

More details would be great,

Thanks!

To clarify, you know that analog is referring to the VGA 15 pin video input, and digital is referring to the DVI video input, right? You can't have the digital video unless you use the DVI input, which requires a DVI output from your computer (and a DVI cord of course).
If you already knew this and you mean that it won't switch over to your DVI, then there could be several problems. Most of them being with your DVI signal source (computer). Try booting the PC with ONLY the DVI cord attached between the PC and the monitor. If you have a VGA cord plugged into either, UNPLUG IT FROM BOTH ENDS.
