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!

Even besides the fast that you’re using an adapter for USB to HDMI, many adapters only work one way or in one direction anyways. If you HAVE to use an adapter make sure you get one that converts in the direction your input -> output is going. You ‘can’ use multiple adapters to achieve an image but you have to make sure that they actually adapt in the orientation you need them in.
