How do I connect my PC to a DVI monitor?

Plug the HDMI end into your PC's HDMI port and the DVI end into your monitor's DVI input port. Ensure both devices are powered off before connecting, and then power on the display first.

Troubleshooting

No video signal displayed

Verify both HDMI and DVI connections are secure. Ensure the display is set to the correct DVI input source. Check that the source device is outputting a compatible resolution. Confirm that the source device's port is indeed HDMI and the display's port is DVI.

Flickering or distorted image

Ensure the cable is not damaged. Try a different DVI input port on the display if available. Check for sources of electromagnetic interference near the cable. If the issue persists, the cable may be faulty.

Incorrect resolution or aspect ratio

Adjust the display resolution and refresh rate settings in the operating system or graphics card control panel of the source device to match the capabilities of the DVI display.

No audio transmission

This is expected behavior. This cable is designed for video transmission only. Connect a separate audio cable (e.g., 3.5mm jack, optical audio) from your source device to your audio output system or display's audio input.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  2. Connect one end of the HDMI connector to the HDMI output port on your source device.
  3. Connect the other end of the DVI connector to the DVI input port on your display device.
  4. Power on the display device first, then power on the source device.
  5. If necessary, configure your display settings on the source device to output to the connected DVI display.

Compatibility:

  • HDMI Output Devices: PCs, laptops, video game consoles (PS4/PS5/Xbox), DVD/Blu-ray players, TV receivers.
  • DVI Input Displays: Monitors, televisions, projectors with DVI-D (24+1) or DVI-I (25+5) single-link or dual-link ports.
  • Important Note: This cable transmits *video only*. Audio signals will not pass through. A separate audio cable is required if your setup needs audio.

Care:

  • To clean the connectors, gently wipe them with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or liquids.
  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage to the connectors and cable insulation.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can damage the internal conductors.
