Solve : HDMI Connections?

1.	Solve : HDMI Connections?
Answer» Hi: I just got a new (used) 24" Benq monitor with vga, dvi and hdmi connectors. It works fine by vga. But when I plug the hdmi in, I GET a "cable not connected" error and no IMAGE. Same thing when I plug it into my laptop that has hdmi. I'm running win7. So I'm wondering if the hdmi connection is defective. Or, maybe the hdmi ports are for output only to a tv or SOMETHING? Any thoughts?HDMI or DVI?I'm trying the hdmi. I don't have dvi ports on my pcs.I never heard of CONNECTING a display via hdmi.Well then, the hdmi must be for ouput only to tv or something? Not for connecting the monitor, right?YesThanks.yep
