Monitor can't display chromebook

[AD_7438]

I bought the HP 24fw to display my Acer Chromebook 14. However, when I plug in the HDMI cable, it says input signal not found and nothing happens on the chromebook. The monitor does, however, work with my Xbox One. I've tried changing HDMI cables, pressing crtl - display on the chromebook, turning off monitor and pressing off button for a minute, but nothing works.
