I believe the problem to be the VGA to Displayport. VGA is analogue while Displayport is digital.
No adapter that I looked at for this is powered, so I assume the one you have is also not powered. That is the problem. Most likely you would have better luck with a USB power device and use the HDMI input on the monitor.
Here is an example of the USB to HDMI adapter that will work:
I have found that adapter to give good performance and multiple monitor choices.
You most likely can find a different powered adapter if you do not like that one.
I'm not an HP employee.
