I'd recommend buying the DVI cable and giving that a shot. Shouldn't cost too much especially from a place like monoprice.com.
Yes it should work. The -D carries just a digital signal, the -I carries both a digital and an analog signal. The I just has a couple of extra pins that plug in to the spot to get the analog.
Check your settings on both the computer and monitor regarding sleep/standby/hibernation modes.
Hmm. You got me.
Greg, also regarding my above issue, would having the DVI connector connected to my video card and the vga connected to the monitor, would that cause the monitor to lose signal and go dark? Its still on, but the power button is blinking, the screen is black, and the computer is still running.
Not sure if I followed. If the computer and monitor both have DVI plugs, and the cable has DVI on both ends, just use those. Shouldn't need a VGA plug if so. Not unless you're hooking something else up to it also.
That's what I plan on doing, but currently I am having issues where the monitor will go black. I currently have a vga cord with DVI adapter plugged into video card, and the other end of the vga plugged into he vga port on the monitor. Would that cause the issue of the monitor going black?
