I purchased a Lenovo Ideapad 320s laptop 14” screen. But overtime I found the screen was not big enough as I do a lot of Spreadsheet, design work etc. I then remembered that I had a much bigger 20” monitor I could use - a good monitor & crucially had a much larger screen.
The problem was that my Lenovo Ideapad 320s laptop has an HDMI port whereas the Dell monitor has a VGA port. So not straightforward to connect the two due to the different connector types. However, a quick and easy solution is available at minimal cost - a 1080p HDMI to VGA Converter.
Some people don’t know that you can use your old monitors, but you can!. I.E connect the laptop/PC to monitor to use two monitors. Which I why I wanted to share this video.
Being able to use the larger monitor has transformed the laptop & my productivity - so I can now use one screen (mon. 1 or 2), duplicate or extend screens.
In this video, I’ll show you what you need & how to use the 1080p HDMI to VGA Converter so you can make full use of those old monitors. It's a straightforward as demonstrated.
The video covers - timings included:
* The situation (1:25)
* A closer look at HDMI to VGA adapter (3:06)
* Setting up & connecting HDMI to VGA adapter (4:41)
* Display settings laptop and old monitor (5:38)
- Including how to access display settings in your control panel
* Display settings - extend screen (5:57)
* Display settings - duplicate screen (6:08)
* Display settings - display 1 only (6:21)
* Display settings - display 2 only (6:35)
* Extending displays - a more in depth (6:46)
* Useful tip - rearranging displays left or right hand side (8:06)
- Display settings for laptop right
- Showing how to rearrange screen flow in display settings
- Display settings for laptop left

I have a HDMI connection on my pc, and vga, dvi and display port on my Dell monitor. Plugged in the vga to HDMI and nothing. Yes, I ordered two HDMI to VGA converters. They're on the way.

I have an old Dell flat screen monitor (with very little use) that is 17" but not in the wide screen aspect ratio. (Actual width/height dimension of the screen is 13.5" X 11.75"....). Would this adapter still work with a non-wide screen? I would love to put it into use even if it there is a black unused area on the top and bottom on screen because of the aspect ratio disparity. Thanks for any input (no pun intended) that you can offer. Note: I also have a pair of high end NEC 19" CRT monitors. Not sure if that would work either...And, not sure I'd want those very large monitors chewing up a lot of space, but curious. Phil

Active VGA adapters are the best ones to use. Had a passive one that only worked sometimes.

[@TheTechGuru]

Good to know. Thanks

[@trainmaster0217]

I just purchased an hdmi to vga adapter. It didn't cost very much. I didn't know there was a "passive" adapter. I just looked at the one I bought and it doesn't say if it's passive. If they might not work ..why do they make them?

[@DeaseNootz]

@@trainmaster0217 late reply, but active ones are powered and are physically converting the signal from HDMI to VGA. SOME devices are able to push a VGA signal out of the HDMI port, which is where passive(non powered) adapters are handy. The raspberry pi comes to mind as being able to use a passive adapter

[@juniscecilio]

@@DeaseNootz so you recommend buying "active VGA adapter?", does it says on the label "active" ?

[@DeaseNootz]

@@juniscecilio some will, but it will be any powered HDMI to VGA adapter. Anything powered is considered active.

So I received free monitor from work as they were giving a lot of them away since they were 10 years old and without warranty anymore. I grabbed one/ Brought it home to setup only to find out it was so old it didn't have HDMI. I bought a Display Port to HDMI converter, but it didn't work as I likely needed one which connects to the laptop rather than the monitor. So I decided to jump on amazon again, but this time, I am going the VGA route as I do have a VGA cord to hook up. Thanks to your video, things should work out better once I receive the converter

Hi Onamission 83. Thanks for your message. Sounds like the monitor is looking for a VGA signal, but is not getting this signal. Some thoughts - Could there be any hardware issues with your computer? Are your drivers upto date? I assume the computer's not in hibernation, sleep or power saving mode? It'd be worth checking your graphics settings again? Have you tried restarting and reconnecting your devices? Do you have another port you could try on your computer? Thanks

Got the classic "out of range" issue, but found 2 fixes on different laptops. 1. (5-year-old 64-bit ASUS): Pressed Windows key +P, then chose "extend" (as you might do if connecting an old TV). Problem magically gone! 2. (3-year-old 64-bit HP): Plugging in made the laptop display flicker like crazy and fail to connect to the external monitor. Uninstalled Intel graphics driver, downloaded Intel Support and Assistance and used that to get an updated driver. Restart, and converter now working fine!

Hi LegendX Dêspair. I'm using a desktop PC currently which runs two monitors - 1920 x 1080 is my main monitor.
