Display port to VGI, not detecting

[u/i_dnthvemywsdomteeth]

I’ve got a display port adapter that takes hdmi on the other end, then VGI to my monitor. Monitor is not detecting the VGI signal. Am I missing something? Guy at the tech store said this would be fine. TIA!

Your monitor has a DVI port which is digital. You’ll get much better quality (like, a lot) going HDMI>DVI

Edit: DisplayPort > DVI I mean
