[NAME] nguyen  It’s not entirely clear what you’ve got when you say you’re connecting with “a VGA to HDMI and an HDMI adapter”. When asking for technical assistance, it helps to be as specific as possible with your technical details. But the options mentioned above are good choices. First of all, VGA is the lowest quality option available, so try to avoid it. A USB-C to DVI cable is the simplest solution and would give you the best result. A USB-C to VGA cable is simple but won’t look as good, so I’d avoid it. If you get a DA300, you’d have to choose between either using inferior VGA, or else getting an HDMI to DVI or DisplayPort to DVI adapter/cable, since the DA300 doesn’t have a DVI output. The DA300 is also quite a bit more expensive than a simple cable, although you do get more functionality. The DA300 has also been replaced by the DA310, fyi.
I have a Dell Monitor P2312H from 2013, and a newly bought Dell XPS 15 9500. I connected them using a VGA to HDMI and an HDMI adapter from my laptop, along with the USB cable from the monitor so everything is set up as expected. However, the monitor then says no VGA signal, and my laptop still doesn't detect any signal from the monitor. I search on Google and it says because Dell P2312H is incompatible with windows 10, but I also doubt if the VGA/HDMI has worked properly. What should I do in my case? Find a P2312H driver for windows 10 or buy a VGA/USB-C cable? Or any method can you suggest? thank you.
