I attached this to my win 8 laptop via hdmi cable. However, the touchscreen feature is not working on the monitor? Is it not plug and play?

I has the same issue so a day of frustration later I finally read the instructions and they say you need to attach the USB cable as well

not sure about the hdmi but I used the dvi and the usb. the usb sends the touch features back to the computer

The touch function is powered by the USB cable that came with the monitor. You need to plug that in, too.

You need to plug in the USB cable as well. HDMI only does sound and video, the USB cable is for the hub and touchscreen.

That's strange. Mine worked right away. Is the cable intact? If you attach it to the computer, you will need to click on the projector option on your screen as well.

The description of my laptop never mentioned "touch screen" or "touch screen enabled". If there is a product description stating either of those for your laptop, then dismiss that verbage. I suppose that since this computer runs windows 8,that you could run a touch monitor off of it. But that would be stupid. If you want touch screen, then I recommend that you go buy a different computer with a touch screen.

I was so happy with this monitor, i bought another one to extend the display. I use a laptop HDMI connection. But i am unable to extend the display on the two HP monitors. Second one is not getting any signals. Does anyone know how to make this work?

My daughter took her Win 8 Lenovo Yoga 2 laptop off to college with this docking station (I know you are using Win 7). She called me a couple of weeks ago and said her TV, which is plugged into the HDMI port on the docking station, shows her laptop screen but a movie playing thru Netflix is frozen on the TV screen. I asked her about this a little later and she said it was working great, she "needed to be patient" -- still not sure what she meant. I have heard that the HooToo support is very good. You might want to try them. Sorry this does not shed any light on your issue. Just wanted you to know that, as of now, we have no problems with display.

Yes this will work with Windows 8 which is why I spent the extra money to buy this touchscreen. You do need to run a USB cable from the back of the monitor to your computer for the touchscreen to function.

I agree and disagree.. I plugged mine in HDMI, same thing; DVI on the other hand lines up perfectly. This works out cause my r9 270 gfx card has HDMI, VGA, and DVI so my HDMI is empty for my 42 inch ;). But, I think you would have to manually stretch the screen through the irritating menu. For people who haven't gotten this yet, its not that bad; they just don't label the buttons. But if you can't navigate through a monitor screen, well you shouldn't be using a computer lol.. Great monitor so far!

Using the Displayport input, I could not get anything to work. I used an HDMI cable and it worked fine. Do you see the blue power light when you switch it on? If not, maybe defective.

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems.My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

Software is needed on Windows systems. I forgot to install the software before plugging in monitor, and it would not work. It automatically found some sort of driver, but that didn't work, so I had to uninstall that driver and install from the CD, and then it worked well.

You need an HDMI cable for sound and picture and there should have been a USB cable that came with it to hook it up to your computer for the touch screen functionality.

You have to hook up the video cord for video then another cord that is usb goes from your pc to the monitor for the touchscreen function if that doesn't work make sure your system including video drivers is fully updated if it still doesn't work its broken

Sounds like a defective cable. I bought a micro hdmi to hdmi cable and it works great. Not so well with a micro hdmi adapter. If it doesn't work with another cable and/or the VGA cable, then the unit is probably defective.

Here' what I found on online help If you have a touchscreen, touch input is on by default and can't be turned off. If you expect your laptop or monitor to respond to touch and it doesn't, check the manufacture's website to make sure it supports touch and that you have the correct drivers installed.

I connected my VSD220 to my desktop computer with a micro-HDMI to HDMI cable. I am running Windows 7 but like you I am unable to get the Touch function to work. I did not get a driver disk either.....I am trying to set up 2 monitors and cannot get them to work together...

It depends on the OS you have installed. For my Windows 7 system the drivers were already onboard. When 1st connected Windows searched its own driverbase and asked me to verify the device. Then all was good to go. I imagine Win8 would be about the same. Note that for the touch function to work you must also connect a usb port & the cable supplied with the monitor is fairly short. You might want to have a 6 to 10 foot usb cable on hand to make hooking up easy.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee
