I recently bought a HDMI (male) to VGA (male) cable to connect my laptop to a second screen. When I detect screens, it detects the very screen that is connected to the cable, but it doesn't show input. I have updated my graphics cards drivers, both of them, to no avail.

My laptop specs (HP Pavilion Power 15):

  • Intel i7 7700HQ

  • Intel HD 630 Graphics card

  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050

  • HDMI gate

My screen specs (Samsung S22C300 Monitor):

  • VGA gate

  • 1920 x 1080p

My main screen runs on the Intel HD 630 Graphics card and the additional monitor runs on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050

I hope you can help me

Edit: I bought an "active signal sender", however not a "signal adapter/ inverter"

  • What adapter did you buy? You would need a active one adapter (not a passive one) to work. – CaldeiraG Jun 19 '19 at 14:19

  • @CaldeiraG You seem to be right, couldn't find those questions with my phrasing. I bought one identical to the first link you posted. Seems like I'll need an adapter for it. Thanks – NETDev Jun 19 '19 at 14:27
