Without seeing either of them, a good assumption is that you are using a monitor with a newer DVI input as opposed to a VGA input. You can purchase an adapter to connect the monitor to the older computer.

Can you use a gateway monitor witha Dell computer?

It is almost certainly possible. The monitor should connect via either VGA (a large plug with three rows of pins) or DVI (an even larger plug with several rows of pins and one large flat pin). VGA plugs are often blue and DVI plugs are often white. Almost any computer will have a VGA out, many have DVI out. These are standard across all monitors and computers, regardless of manufacturer.


How long does it take to replace a computer monitor?

Replacing a computer monitor should take less than 10 minutes. First shut off the computer. Unscrew and unplug the (blue or white) video cable for the monitor from the back of the computer, and unplug the monitor power cable. Then remove the old monitor from the desk, replace with the new monitor, and plug it into the video and power plugs. Start your computer and once it has started, adjust the resolution and refresh rate to match the specifications for your monitor.


You just bought a used Trinitron computer monitor When you hooked it up it says monitor is in power save mode How do you turn that off so you can use it?

It should turn off automatically if you plug it into your computer and turn the computer on. If it doesn't, something is wrong. First thing to check is the plug that plugs into the computer for bent pins. Also check the other end of the cable that plugs into the back of the monitor. If the pins are not bent then you will likely need to take it to a shop for repair or replacement.

Pacco ix computer it says no cable insert?

This generally means that the monitor section of the unit is not receiving a video signal - make sure the jumper between the two video plugs in place. On mine unfortunately it was a dead motherboard for the computer. The monitor section was working fine - just no signal from the motherboard.


What type of computer monitor should you have to run a ps3 on it?

You should have a TV and not a computer monitor. The best would be a wide screen LED LCD HDTV in 1080p and while some would say with 3D I am not one of them. You can also use any standard 480I TV that includes RCA A/V plugs

how can i use my hd tv with the computer as a monitor?

Buy an S-Video cable which will hopefully fit their PC graphics card. (Any info on their PC spec, especially graphics card would help). It basically looks like a mouse or keyboard socket and will be next to where the monitor cable plugs into.
