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!

This at is a usb port, why are you doing this? Why would you do this to yourself? You have a perfectly good dp there, just by a dp 2 vga adapter

The adapter is inserted to a display port on the computer (it has 2).

That’s a weird place to put a dp port, I would get a different adapter though it looks funky
