@David0069, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Monitor Connection Issues on HP Desktop! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

It seems that your HP desktop does not have a connection for the monitor. Here are some steps you can take to address this issue:

Check for Display Ports:

• Ensure you thoroughly check the back of your desktop for any available video ports such as HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, or VGA. These ports are typically located near the bottom of the desktop on the right side.

Verify Package Contents:

• Confirm you received all the necessary cables with your desktop package. Sometimes, video cables might be packed separately.

Use Adapters:

• If your monitor uses a specific type of connector that your desktop does not support, consider using an adapter. For instance, if your desktop has an HDMI port but your monitor uses VGA, you can get an HDMI-to-VGA adapter.

Check Monitor Compatibility:

• Ensure your monitor is compatible with your desktop computer. Sometimes new desktops might come with video connectors that are more modern compared to older monitors.

Review User Manual:

• If you have the user manual for your HP desktop, review it to understand the ports and connections available on your device.  

Hope this helps! 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
