I am using the monitor with Windows 8.1 just installed and it is only putting out VGA. How do I fix this?

I am running 8.1 as well with this as my primary monitor in combination to a second monitor as well and i have no problems, i have used this monitor on windows 7,8,8.1 without problem. Most likely it is your cable or the input on the monitor or computer if u are trying to use DV-I (Also make sure you are using the exact right DV-I Cable, alot of people do not realize there are different types that are not universal but look and are labeled similarly.) EDIT: Make sure you have all possible HD and Factory drivers for whatever type of video card you are using, if for some reason you do not have a properly installed video card with proper drivers this will cause this to happen as well. The VGA port on the computer is integrated into the motherboard and has onboard drivers and will always work unless the port itself is bad or the motherboard has damage or bad firmware/bios information.

Technically this isn't a support forum but... Are you sure your pc is outputting signal over the VGA, I ask this because I believe there two lights that come on when signal is passed through the device.

Check the connectors on your monitor, you might need to find one with female VGA connector on the other side.

It comes with a HDMI to VGA adapter so you can use VGA. I own this pc and all the Windows 8 Acers in this 128GB SSD ultrabook model line come with the adapter.

Hello, Good question but there is no VGA port. I imagine you are trying to connect a monitor to the laptop. I went to TIGER DIRECT and purchased a HDMI (laptop port) to a DIN (monitor port), and this was successful. Hope this helps!

The one I ordered came with a VGA cable, but then again it was the wrong model monitor. I'd try to find one just in case; it never hurts to have a spare!

I have this with two monitors connected to it, running Win8.1 without any issues. Automatically found and installed updated drivers too.

The VGA I had it hooked up to for a day or so seemed fine, but I did not play any games on it. You can pick up a VGA to HDMI cable conversion for $8. Not sure if that would alleviate any potential issues.

Are you asking about vga? My aoc monitor calls the vga d sub. No but you can convert the display port to vga

If your machine has a dvi port you can split it with a dvi to two vga connector. If not you will have to get a different video card. You could also call tech support from where you got it they will help you.

The ports such as the VGA one are for the motherboard, and the display is set by default to run from the graphics card, you will need to use the ports of the graphics card only.

Ive got the same problem..the answer is...you need a VGA to HDMI. NOT a HDMI to VGA...The thing is it wont work going the other way. Plugable support helped me...when going from old VGA computer to new HDMI. it slows everything down so the best thing you need to do is buy a newer computer with HDMI. you can go to plugable .com /support ..they are very helpful...

You will need an adapter from dvi or HMDI I think to vga anyway there will be 3 plugs on the graphics board you will need to convert 1 to VGA can't remember which plug I used. Got the adapter at Radio shack for 14 bucks but, if you can wait a week you could buy the same adapter online for about 4

Just purchase an HDMI to DVI or DP adapter, problem solved. Or use one of those outputs on one of the monitors.

Hello, I have hp pavilion , you should be able to use your VGA cable as I didn't have to buy another cable. Just use cable that comes with monitor.

No drivers needed if you have an hdmi out. I don't know if the vga is driver free too
